Pictured above, we've taken cues from different trends that make this outfit a true KNOCK-OUT wonder! We've weaved in print on print, use of different media, present with themes of texture and dressy-casual elements. While we've mentioned how texture is a big YES in a previous Style Highlight, a great way to include this is through mixing media. Unreal Fur's "Dream Jacket" in Charcoal, Rails' rayon "Hunter Buttondown" and Yu Fashion's metal "Boho Necklace" create so much depth and dimension that we could almost stop here. But since when have you known Yu Fashion to not go that extra mile?
What's PERFECT about each piece is that they are multi-purpose. Combining the faux fur coat with a rather casual flannel and rocker tank, and then topped with a GLAMOROUS statement necklace keeps the dynamic fresh and everyone guessing. Moreover, Junk Food's "'Jimi Hendrix" tank and Rails' buttondown play footsie with the sometimes-hard-to-get print mixing.
It is no surprise that even the biggest fashion lovers tend to avoid mixing prints. That's because not all prints, with their patterns, colour palettes, and make, all put in consideration, look good together. That's not to say they fall short on their own... but when combining print on print, there are a few key elements that should always be used as a rule of thumb. When deciding your outfit, pick out pieces that, from a colour stand point, are either in the same colour family, or are colours that are complementary to each other. Colours in the same family create harmony, while complementary colours create appealing contrast. Consider the outfit as a whole; Is it balanced? Is it fluid?
Trending now, we are seeing the classic striped print, with the pyjama
trend being strongly influenced by it; the floral print, pop culture
artwork, and all the way back to retro prints are evident in fashion
powerhouses like Prada, Gucci, and Alexander Wang. In the look pictured,
we add retro and pop culture elements through the buttondown and
tank, respectively.
Layering these trends has not only made this look a merry symphony, edgy and visually stunning, it's inspirational. If you're not quite ready to dive right in, pick out components that call out to you and work from there. We can't say enough good things... LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.
