We’ve Got a Colour Riot

“With a bright and vivacious personality to match her style; colour means clash and print is power to this sartorial heroine.”

Regardless of how much black and white I may wear, there is no denying how much I love colours. Not only do I adore colours, but colour clashing is one of my favourite things to experiment with so when Spring/Summer 2017 decided that this was the new it thing on the fashion scene, I couldn’t be more excited. Of course, this is where Hush UK steps in to further fuel my colour obsession with their latest collection of red, yellow, pink and blue. If this isn’t making you feel ready and excited for spring, then I really don’t know what will.

Colour clashing is not as difficult as it may seem! It’s all about finding the right colour combinations. If you’re just starting out, I would go with complimentary colours like blue and red. I’ve done this here with a gorgeous Hush cardigan – perfect for those chilly Spring evenings! You can also add some colour through denim like the denim culottes you see here!

If you’re a bit more adventurous like me, why not go for this season’s most coveted combination? Everyone on the fashion scene is loving red and pink together. Although it may seem like a strange combination at first, the two actually go together perfectly! Another trick to acing colour clashing, is to take one colour and just work with all of it’s shades and colours in the same family together! (Think Green and Blue, Orange and Red…) I’ve linked to everything I’m wearing below plus more to achieve the colour clash look!

Hush is the perfect stop for all your colour needs this season – from their basics to their more refined pieces. Plus, they have a great little Style Personality quiz up and running right now (Obviously mine is Colour Riot, in case you didn’t catch that..) so why not go and find out what your style personality is here!

Fashion Blogger Shloka Narang of The Silk Sneaker showcases how to clash colours fashionably this spring featuring pieces from Hush UK S/S 2017

A go-to classic, the pant and shirt, can be easily upgraded in the most luxe fashion.

Most of us have an outfit formula that we rely on for all those mornings when we wake up and just don’t know what to wear, or rather don’t have time to really think about it. If you’re like me, then you just haven’t had enough coffee to really think about it… When the weather just continues to drop, the usual go to is a pair of pants and a top, but after a while even that look can start to feel stale, Right? Wrong. Even the most basic outfit go-to can be upgraded to create a more luxe look, runway inspired, but for the street. All it takes is a bit of imaginative thinking and texture.

I’m someone who is incredibly inspired by the runway and high fashion, however what’s more exciting about these looks is the way you can recreate them for off the runway – fashion after all is far beyond the ramp. It’s about capturing the essence of the look and creating it for yourself. The rise of loose fits and more relaxed “vibes” makes your favourite pant and top combination a perfect pick, but it comes down to choosing pieces with the perfect fit. To recreate this runway feel, I went for a half tuck with my favourite pyjama shirt. I decided to put a belt on, to peek out from the half tuck, to just add a bit more interest to the whole look and a feel of luxe.

What I love most about this look is that although inspired by the world of high fashion, it’s one that you can easily recreate yourself and is perfect for whatever you need to do today, tomorrow, or any other day this November. The texture that the knit pants add to this combination automatically add more interest to the look and make it more winter ready! So, there’s no need to be racking your brain for new November outfit ideas, you just have to recreate your favourite ones with a few different fits and flares. Don’t forget your arm candy too! I’m pretty obsessed with stacking so always looking for some new additions!

In other news, I was able to get my hands on a beautiful Reformation dress from their pop-up here in London at Covent Garden! So many of you have asked me about what I thought about it – I must say the quality is really great and I love that I’m buying something that is helping the environment while still looking stylish. I also got my hands on one of their pieces from their Net-A-Porter collaboration, so stay tuned for me sharing that! A potential NYE outfit?
