Everyone loves a good trend—and this Fashionista is rocking more than one to effortlessly achieve an eye-catching look that’s both feminine and edgy. It is easy to be scared by contemporary and returning trends in the fashion realm, as they can be nerve racking and unfamiliar. I’m sure we’ve all been in the position of putting on something super en vogue for the day only to rip it off minutes before leaving the house, but life is too short to care about whether we can “pull off” a new look.
This past summer has made most of us no stranger to the return of the half bun, choker and masculine watches (to name a few). These throwback trends have been re-emerging in full force just in time for millennial Fashionistas/os to offer their spin on some ’90s classics this fall.
More modern trends of the 2010s (thus far) that are in this look include chic draped coats, metallic details and yes, mom’s favorite: the distressed skinny jean. This Fashionista is expressing her individual style by mingling details inspired by different decades, which works to create a bold and unique ensemble. Adding a short pointed bootie and flowing neutral coat to this outfit balances out the grunge of distressed jeans with some casual class. By choosing an all-black base, a background is created to showcase select metallic details. The layered choker’s gold feature both acts as a delicate contrast to the bold black leather and brings continuity to this look by complementing the watch and bangle.
What truly makes this, or any Fashionista stand alone is a knack for combining different looks, trends and details—masculine with feminine, past with present—to create their own completely individual style.
If you’re itching, but hesitant to incorporate some new trends into your look, then try changing up one detail at a time to achieve a style that will stay quintessentially “you,” but with a sprinkle of something fresh and intriguing.
