I get it. Putting together a killer line up of office chic looks Monday through Friday is a full time job in itself. Then, you add in the blaring AC, regardless of what is actually happening outside, your desire to be comfortable while staring at a screen for 9 hours, and wait, you have to leave in 5 minutes?
I get it. Bargain hunting is a sport for some. A sport I will never understand – like curling or ribbon dancing. “Our crap could be your crap” is my visceral reaction to the four letter word. However, there is one caveat: the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
Remember Bermuda shorts? They came in khaki, were notoriously spotted on female golfers and gym teachers, and were most likely paired back to a running shoe.
It was sartorially scarring, I’m not going to lie. So, fashion ran in the exact opposite direction. Call it a form of post-traumatic shorts syndrome. We cut off about two feet of fabric and cheekies have been the thing for the past decade.
As much as we have loved seeing camel toe and wedgies on every sixteen to thirty year old for 10 years, the pendulum has finally swung back. The jort has returned.
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 Outdated, bland, and in most cases unflattering were synonymous with the color.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.
