Friends, the oversized blazer, and suiting for that matter, is the cornerstone of fashion right now. Take one scroll on Pinterest or Instagram and you might wonder if these tech giants have stock options in Savile Row. Workwear is literally everywhere. So, the question is no longer if you are onboard (that ship sailed seasons ago), but how are you keeping your suiting fresh?
Fashion is funny. Before, the only association I had with the color beige was a Troop Beverly Hills uniform and a bad pantsuit my high school office administrator would don. Outdated, bland, and in most cases unflattering were synonymous with the color. But oh how the tables have turned.
I know you are shopping for something. The weather has just started to shift, it’s officially festival season, or if your adulting calendar reads anything like mine, Sunday’s are now filled with showers for the unforeseeable future. Cue, a personal attack against my bank account.
If your Instagram feed is not exploding with all things suiting, you have either left the grid or not left your house. I for one can’t get enough of the trend. For the first time in years, there is an outerwear piece that actually competes for coolness with the almighty leather jacket. And let me tell you, that is saying something.
We are back in the golden age of Goody, my friends. I never thought I would see the day, but hair accessories are making a comeback. To be honest, I thought it was a fleeting Instagram craze at first, but fashion week attendees have crowned them the “it” accessory of the season.
Keep your caps lock on people, toe details are taking over the fashion space.
The hardest working section of your closet is unquestionably denim. But is your outerwear putting in the same overtime as your dungarees? Synonymous with cool-girl street style and versatility, we’re talking about the ubiquitous denim jacket.
At first glance, the boot tuck trend that has been resurfacing on the runway and the streets brought back visions of Troop Beverly Hills, Hampton-lazing equestrian riders, and MC hammer. Take your pick. But as I have spent more time researching the trend, it surprisingly has really grown on me for one simple reason: versatility.
There are some subjects that people never tire of discussing – cat memes, the royal family, and denim. I don’t think I align with the general population on the first two, but I can definitely get behind on the later. Denim is the backbone to most outfits these days from the runway to the streets. Versatile, comfortable, and flattering, it’s the fabric of our lives (did I just age myself, or do you remember those commercials, too?).
Labor Day Schmayborday. The age old rule of no white after September has been debunked by the fashion crowd for ages. Year after year, designers usher winter white inspiration down the runway, yet it is still a rare sight to see someone in real life traipsing around mid-February clad in ivory. Is our grandmother’s negated advise still haunting us, or is it that we just don’t know how to pull it off?
