STYLE GURU STYLE: Big and Bold

There’s only one word that describes Acne Studios’ pre-fall 2015 collection: daring. The runway collection included looks composed of bold patterns such as Houndstooth checks and plaid, and classic colors like dark burgundy, forest green, chambray and beige. Materials such as leather, denim, and wool were paired together to create outfits that were offbeat and eccentric, yet resonated a classic feel. Through combining different colors, patterns, and fabrics, Acne Studios constructed a runway collection that had the perfect mix of grunge and professional.

My favorite look from the pre-fall 2015 collection was this look. Although the straight-fitted jacket and pleated pants pairing was on trend, the real eye-catcher was the model’s oversized blanket scarf. I used this piece as the prime inspiration for my outfit.

Oversized scarves are an awesome piece to incorporate in your wardrobe because they are not only fashionable, but also functional. Another benefit of blanket scarves is that they provide a ton of warmth to your outfit during a cold winter day. Wearing an oversized scarf literally feels like you are wrapped in a warm blanket! Wear it with your favorite pair of dark-washed jeans for a comfy and cozy look. If you are looking for a way to keep warm while dressing up, use my outfit as an example. I paired my plaid oversized scarf with a simple black t-shirt dress, loose knitted cream cardigan, sleek black tights, and wedged ankle booties. Acne Studios’ pre-fall 2015 runway collection encouraged me to incorporate bold, big pieces, such as a plaid blanket scarf, into my outfit.
