STYLE GURU STYLE: Trends on Trends

Religiously following current fashion trends has always been a big part of my life, evolving my own style. I love to experiment and when a new fad is spreading throughout the fashion scene, I am quick to try out whatever the new craze may be. I normally discover fresh trends from celebrity street style. The celebrities effortless looks inspire me to create my own personalized outfits, targeting the specific trend I strive to make a statement with.

An “in” piece I chose to work my outfit around, are a pair of fishnets tights. Madonna sported these revealing tights back in the ’80s and set them as a popular trend during the decade. The legwear is making a major comeback, and it is being worn in countless creative ways. Today’s take on the stockings range from, being worn under faded ripped jeans or matched with graphic band T-shirts. Total rock ‘n’ roll vibes. I decided to go with a look I have recently seen being worn by models such as Haley Baldwin and Binx Walton; fishnet tights, under a T-shirt dress.

The oversized T-shirt is thrifted and cut into a V-neck, leaving the collar of the shirt. I frequently find myself cutting up old clothes as an inexpensive way to keep up with the thriving world of fashion. I aimed for a deep V cut on the top so I could show off my charcoal bralette, a feminine touch to the edgy look. Like the T-shirt, the oversized jean jacket is another thrifted piece that adds some versatility to the mainly black outfit. For shoes, I went with high black boots to avoid an overwhelming exposure of fishnet. Lastly, I amped up the outfit with layering gold necklaces, a beaded choker combined with a long drop necklace.
