TRENDING, STREET FASHION> POINTIES, MIXES AND THE BOYFRIENDS!

 *The pointies...are back!

Pointed shoes where the rave in the 1990’s, every girl had to have a pair, and they could be worn with almost anything…gowns, skirts, trousers, you name them. A look at our mum’s album would this as every wedding picture involved the pointes. Eventually though, as it  always is with fashion, it evolved. Newer styles came along and the once cherished pointies where discarded to make room for newer shoe designs, designers called and the women followed.

 These babies have made a comeback though, and once again taking the ladies along with it. They are bigger, better and a lot cuter, they come in heels, flats and are of different colours, though i must say, I prefer them in black and nude colours as you can never go wrong with that. They are a must have for even the not fashion inclined as they are very practical and they portray confidence, class and elegance. The pointy toe pump is a great instant slimming style for everyone because the eye travels longer down to the toe, creating the illusion of longer legs. They also give the impression that one has longer legs. Over all, the pointies look like they are here to stay as they could be worn casually with jean trousers and dressed up with a gown, either way, the turnout is fab!

*Dare to Mix!

  It must be noted that mixed patterns aren’t just something you throw on in a whim, but for the bold and adventurous with statements to make, here, body carriage is also of utmost importance.

Hesitant about mixing patterns? Not so long ago, these where fashion donts and even the most respected celebrities dared not risk getting caught in it. Recently though, mixing patterns have become a very popular trend. It does involve a bit of hard work too as it takes a lot of sense to get the right patterns together. Once you get a hang of it though, you are good to go.

A few example of the right pattern mixes for a formal look would be black and white striped blazers/jacket white black and white cross stripped body con gown (optional: A thin long black/white belt would go a long way to blend the patterns together) and a white shoe would be just the perfect finish . For social outings, parties, you could also mix animal prints of the same colour background or bright and dim coloured florals  and the dim coloured florals should always be worn on top.

*BORROWED FROM THE BOYS...
This season, the boyfriend jeans and jackets are becoming very popular, as they are very funky, cute and comfortable, we go back to it over and over again because it's ultra comfortable, lends a city feel to our wardrobe and let's us relax into sexy attire.
we especially love the boyfriend troucsers becouse of the slashes and cuts that come with them, an excuse to show some flesh and not look trash. You'll want these boyfriend jeans to pair with your day sequins. A plaid shirt is the perfect brunch option for virtually all of your solid bottoms.  A men's belt is the new must have. and in the eveniongs, instead of the same old little black, you could stand out in boyfriend-inspired details. A white tuxedo shirt, a tux jacket tailored for ladies or a pair of tuxedo striped trousers will take you far. Use the white button-up you already have (or actually your boyfriend's) and pair it with a tie and suspenders for head-turning, daring style. The got thing about this trend is, you dont have to go shopping, all you need is around y, you could creativelly rip and shape-up you brother/boyfriend's old, trousers, shirts,  belts.
