STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Suede Statement

It seems as though everyone and their mother is embracing the ’70s trend consisting of suede and tassels. This ’70s sensation began on the runway and is now making its way into our day-to-day wardrobe. It is always exciting to introduce new and unique pieces into your wardrobe that will act as the main focus of your entire outfit. However, whenever a concept becomes extremely on-trend, it is important to not blend into the sea of people who have also incorporated this suede and tassels phenomenon.

By mixing this Western trend with grungey accents, you are able to add different dynamics to your outfit. This Fashionista effortlessly paired her neutral suede tank with a jet black leather jacket to mix textures and add dimension. Zara carries some great faux leather jackets that will allow you to add that grundge element for a reasonable price! As for the suede, you can get your hands on this trendy item at various online and in store retailers. My piece of advice is to ensure you are not investing too much in trendy items, such as suede and tassels, as they will consistently go in and out of style. It is much more worth it to save your hard earned dollar and splurge on your standard wardrobe staples.

In keeping with the mix and match feel of this outfit, this fabulous Fashionista kept on Western trend by wearing distressed denim and then added a black pump to maintain the contrast. Of course, an outfit is not complete without a great clutch. To tie everything together, our Fashionista added a nude tassel clutch which stays on trend and ensures that the entire outfit tells a story when everything comes together.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “My style advice of the week is to always feel comfortable in what you’re wearing. If you don’t feel comfortable embracing every trend, then don’t feel the need! But if you can incorporate certain elements and mix them with some of your usual staples, you’ve got yourself a great look.”
