This Is Why You Should Invest In This New Classic Pattern…

The Spots You Want To See…

There are certain patterns that never go out of style. Stripes, checks, and the latest addition to that list is leopard print. Season after season, we see it on the runway, we see it at our favourite high street stores and on our favourite street style stars; there is no escaping leopard print. That’s why you should embrace this print! Trust me, I wasn’t 100% on the bandwagon. In fact, when I met my dear friend Sophie from Silk & Strands some months ago, I was convinced that a print like this, on a coat nonetheless, was not going to suit me! But, what do I always say? It’s all about taking risks and being a little fearless when it comes to your style! I’ve always loved the print, so why not give it a shot!

When I found this jacket from By Malene Birger, I knew I had found the perfect piece to ease me into this pattern. After this, I’ve been all about investing in leopard prints more! From skirts to tops to coats, it’s a pattern I think we should all have in our wardrobes. If you are like me and are initially hesitant about a pattern as bold as this, I have some tips for how to style that leopard print coat, skirt or top you’ve been wanting so badly.

Firstly, be mindful of the other colours you are pairing your leopard with. I would avoid anything too bright and stick to neutral or jewel tones like beiges, blacks, whites or even maroons! The more neutral the colours, the more likely your outfit will stand out in the right way! Secondly, be aware of textures as well. Try to keep other textures to a minimum as I have done here. Other than my leather boots, I really let the jacket do most of the work. Lastly, be confident! The easiest way to pull of a star print like this is to wear it with confidence. Trust me, no one will doubt it, and you can totally rock it!

I’ve linked to some of my favourite leopards print pieces that are available right now. I’ve picked these because I love how luxe they look and would be super easy to style!

How do you wear your favourite leopard print outfit?

How To Upgrade Your Bomber Jacket In 2018

Fashion blogger Shloka Narang of The Silk Sneaker shares how to style the bomber jacket for 2018 featuring Topshop, Maje and Gucci

The Bomber Jacket is Getting a 2018 Upgrade…

The bomber jacket is a piece that every girl should have in her capsule wardrobe. Time after time, season after season, this one jacket is the key to off-duty style. Since it’s one of my favourites, I happen to have many variations, but today is all about being sporty chic with this particular side stripe bomber jacket. What I love about this piece is that although it has an athleisure vibe to it, it’s so easy to dress it up or down and add some feminine touches. For me, that came in the form of colour. I always find that adding a sense of “chic” to each outfit, elevates any look. That was the idea with this bomber jacket outfit; I went for a totally monochrome pink look! Plus, you guys know that I always love a good pink outfit, like this one here!

Not only did I match the pink of my jacket with the pink in my skirt, I made sure that the sweater underneath was coordinated with the stripes on my bomber jacket. It’s attention to detail that can really make an outfit go from good to great! To really make this outfit street style worthy (while remaining weather appropriate!) I swapped my sneakers for some thigh high boots! That’s how you bring the bomber jacket into 2018!

I’ve never been one for a totally athleisure outfit, that’s why I like to add little bits and pieces that make the trend more me. In this case, it’s colours, but it’s also dainty accessories. These Astrid & Miyu earrings are the perfect everyday piece for any occasion. I love the unique geometric shape! Of course, there is no ignoring my Gucci bee bag! Fun fact: I’m petrified of bees and wasps but somehow I always have accessories that incorporate them!

How are you wearing the bomber jacket in 2018?

The Coolest New Colour Combination To Help You Stand Out in 2018…

Fashion blogger Shloka Narang of The Silk Sneaker shares her favourite street style colour combination to wear now featuring & Other Stories, Topshop and Chloe

A Street Style Star Proof Outfit…

A lot of us sometimes feel as though we need many stand out pieces to create that stunning outfit. Others feel as though you can only achieve that stand out look with designer pieces. The reality of the situation is that it’s much easier to create that stand out look. All you need to do is reach for colour, and I’m talking about more than one! It’s all about creating the perfect colour combination and today I’m sharing the number one colour combination to make you look like a street style star; blue and green.

What I love about this combination is that it makes such a fashion-forward statement without you having to try very hard. That’s what I love about styling, creating combinations that are easy going, but super fashionable! My outfit is mainly high street as well and the silhouette is so comfortable that I could wear this on the weekend, or on a day of meetings too! I picked up this oversized knit from & Other Stories recently and it’s one of the most fun pieces to style! The blue is so flattering and is sure to suit everyone! I paired it with my favourite green khaki trousers from Topshop, but I wasn’t done there! I couldn’t’ resist adding in my trusty beret, this time in a green too! I told you guys I had them in every colour!

By adding in some accessories, like these beautiful gold hoops from Misho, I was able to really elevate the look. What I love about this colour combination is that you don’t have to put in a lot of effort to look incredibly stylish. I was able to create a standout look with a few basic pieces! If wearing this combination head to toe like I did here is a bit too bold for you, you can even try something like blue jeans, a white sweater and green accessories! (Think scarves, bags, boots even!) Either way, this is one colour combination that will make you feel like the most fashionable girl in the room!

How are you styling blue and green together? Is this something you’ve tried before?

How To Look Stylish and Stay Warm This Winter

Fashion blogger Shloka Narang of The Silk Sneaker shares how to look stylish and stay warm during winter featuring Topshop, Joe's Jeans and Chloe

You Can Stay Stylish and Stay Warm, You Can Have It All…

When the temperature has dropped so low that going outside seems like a nightmare, and the wind makes your ears hurt, you know that you are in the middle of winter. One of the questions I’ve been asked frequently by all of you is, how to look stylish and stay warm when it’s freezing cold outside. Today, I’m going to answer this burning question! I want to show you that you can stay warm and cosy and still look super fashionable; that you really can have it all! There are three key things that will always guarantee comfort and style for your winter looks.

Firstly, it’s all about the coat. Your coat is your best friend when temperatures are sub-zero. It’s the piece that everyone is going to see first and it will dictate first impressions, no matter what you may be wearing underneath. That is why it’s so important to build your coat collection! Don’t be afraid to go for statement pieces that really let your personal style shine through. This could be in terms of texture (think vinyl, shearling or puffer jackets), style (an aviator style is always a quick way to make a statement or a warm tailored coat for a model-off-duty vibe!) or colour! I’ve clearly gone done the colour route and I’m letting my red coat do all the talking! On that note, I know that red can seem like an intimidating colour but when styled right, with classic silhouettes, you can’t go wrong!

Secondly, it’s all about layering. I mean the layers that you can’t see. I can’t do without my Uniqlo heat tech that I wear underneath all my sweaters! It’s those hidden layers that provide extra warmth while letting you look as chic as ever! Thirdly, accessorise! You could be wearing a simple sweater and jeans like I am here, but with the right accessories, you can elevate your look in an instant! I love to play around with my jewellery, especially with large statement earrings that can make a winter outfit so much stylish.

So how will you be staying warm this winter? Do you follow any of these tips?

Fashion blogger Shloka Narang of The Silk Sneaker shares her favourite shoes in her shoe collection and how to invest in designer shoes

3 Tips On Building The Most Beautiful Shoe Collection Ever

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes!

One of my biggest weaknesses in life is shoes. I literally cannot resist beautiful shoes. After all, it’s in the name, isn’t it? I do love a good pair of sneakers, or heels.. or just shoes in general! A few months ago I gave you guys a little peek into my handbag collection and shared some tips on how to invest in the right handbag. Today I wanted to share with you a few tips on how to build a shoe collection that makes you feel as happy as Carrie Bradshaw! Of course, I’m also going to be sharing some of my favourite shoes with you along the way, who make my most favourite shoes, the most comfortable and the prettiest too! I would say, very much worth the investment!

is Key

Okay, guys here’s a big confession. All you shoe lovers are sure to gasp. I find Louboutins to be incredibly uncomfortable. I get the whole no pain, no gain situation. I know that heels are not always comfortable, especially after a long night but I find Louboutins to be the most uncomfortable. That leads me to my first point. Comfort is key! A pair of shoes can be as beautiful as ever (of course Louboutins are beautiful, You can’t resist that red sole can you)  but if they make you feel horrible after half an hour and ruin your night, they are not worth it. One of my most favourite pairs of heels is from Gianvitto Rossi. They have a spiral strap that goes around your calves. They are the most beautiful heels and also one of my comfiest! I started my night at 8 pm and ended it the next morning at 6:30 AM. I sat down twice for about 15 minutes each and felt no pain! That’s a pair worth investing in.

Some of my comfiest shoes are from Prada, Dior and Gionvitto Rossi. In terms of sneakers, it doesn’t get better than my Adidas NMD’s or my Charlotte Olympia sneakers.

These shoes may have been bold purchases but I wear them so much because they are so me!

Let Your
Reign

Shoes, much like fashion, are supposed to be fun. Of course, every girl should have a pair of black pumps, a pair of nude pumps, and some kitten heels in her collection. Sneakers are a must as are fancy flats. Once you’ve got the basics down though, don’t be afraid to let your style really shine through. Of course, investing in shoes, especially a designer pair, is a process you should be mindful of. If there is anything worth investing in though it is accessories, and it is an easy way to really let your personality shine through. I recently purchased a pair of flats that are covered in beads and are incredibly colourful. Not something everyone would leap for but they spoke to me and I know I’m going to be wearing them all summer. Much like another pair I have from Sophia Webster. My mother looked horrified when I picked up this pair but they have never failed me and I bring them out every summer because they let me express myself and have fun!

It’s About
Not The Tag

Okay, you’re dreaming about your shoe collection and you’re thinking of all the big names but a luxurious pair of shoes don’t need to be from a huge brand. Some of the best shoes I have are from the high street. For me, luxury is about having the best of something, and that could mean the best fit for my feet, a pair that make me feel great, or just a pair that I’ve been looking for forever. Of course, a pair from Dior or Prada would make me swoon but a good pair from Topshop or ASOS would make me happy too, granted the quality is good and the fit is right! I have a pair of boots I bought from ASOS long before I started my blog. I still wear that pair today (they are a snake skin effect pair, you might have seen them on my Instagram!) They have lasted me over five years. They aren’t a huge label but this pair has lasted me for ages and makes me feel great. That’s a luxury in itself wouldn’t you say?

I love these shoes because you can change the stickers on them according to your mood! How cute right?

Why You Need This Sweater In Your Wardrobe Now

Fashion blogger Shloka Narang of The Silk Sneaker shares the must have sweater for 2018 in this sweater outfit idea

The Sweater You Won’t Be Able To Do Without…

Although we are well into winter, I know that so many of you, me included, can’t help but long for spring. The whole sweater, bottoms and boots outfit combination can start to feel a little old after you’ve been doing it for a few months right? Well, it doesn’t have to be! The perfect sweater outfit takes the perfect sweater of course, and the perfect sweater is sure to make any winter outfit feel fresher and more stylish! Might as well have some fun before spring get’s here right? That is exactly why you need this sweater in your wardrobe right now.

What I love most about this piece is that it’s a statement without being too in your face. The puffy sleeves add such a great point of interest to any outfit, immediately making any look chicer. I guarantee that even if you were to pair this sweater style with jeans, you would look just like a model of duty. The colour is so versatile and you could create so many fun and new outfits with just one piece. That is when you know that a piece of clothing is worth it when you can wear it a hundred different ways!

Since the sweater is slightly oversized I paired it with a straight mini skirt, in the plaid of course. I wanted to add a bit more definition to the look since I am so petite. A waist belt was the perfect way to do that all the while making this the perfect outfit for a desk to drinks kind of day! You could rock this outfit with thigh high boots or even riding boots but I, of course, could not resist my combat boots for this particular one. I shot this before I got my Church’s pair, but they would go so perfectly don’t you think?

How would you style this sweater?

How To Make Your Outfit Look More Expensive

Fashion blogger Shloka Narang of The Silk Sneaker showcases how to make your outfit look more expensive with Zara and Urban Outfitters

Any Outfit Can Look More
Than It Is With These Tips…

One of the questions I am constantly asked is where I shop for clothes. A lot of you expect me to churn out a list of designer brands and are most surprised when I tell you that the sweater you adore is from one of my favourite high street stores! Making your outfit look more expensive is much simpler than you think and you don’t need to break the bank to create that must have look of the day! I love to mix high street with high end, to create outfits that can be recreated for every day. When I’m mixing up different pieces, there are four tricks that always make my outfit look more expensive. Read on to find out!

1. Classic Colours Will Never Fail You
Neutral colours (think black, white, grey, earth tones, navy) never go out of style. These are the kinds of colours that match with anything. They are also the pieces you will use the most! These are also the colours that look the classiest and will automatically make your outfit look more expensive. Neutrals also look great on every skin tone and are universally flattering, which also make your look more luxe. A classic colour will always look more expensive than one that is trend-driven!

2. Be Aware of Patterns
Certain patterns are effortless and therefore always in style, no matter the season. Stripes are one such pattern. You can combine different types of stripes or simply wear one striped piece. Regardless of whether it’s from Zara like my dress here, or somewhere else, a pattern that is so chic and always in style, will always look more expensive and put together. If patterns are not your thing, don’t shy away from textures like cable knits and silk.

3. Monochrome
Taking a cue from point one, an easy to way to make a neutral more interesting is by creating a monochrome look. You can try a camel top to toe look for a super luxe look or go all navy for something a bit more laidback yet luxurious, like what I’ve done here! A monochrome look is a no-brainer way to make your outfit seem more pricey than it was. Just be aware of the shades you are combining; avoid combining shades that are too far apart on the colour scale!

4. Invest in Accessories
If there is ever anything to invest your money in, it is accessories. Accessorise, rather than clothes, will last you a lifetime. A lot of my bags have been passed down to me by my mother and I hope to one day pass them down too. Well made shoes and bags will always draw positive attention and create a more luxurious look and feel to your outfit. Remember it is quality over quantity when it comes to these things. Your accessories do not need to be designer for them to be good quality either! A lot of premium brands like Sandro and Theory make beautiful bags and shoes too!

I always define my style as “laidback luxury” but a luxury for me isn’t just about the name on the label. Luxury is about how something looks and feels on you; it’s about having the best piece for yourself. Your favourite sweater might be from Topshop but if it makes you feel like a million bucks, that’s a luxury too! I hope that I can remind you all that you don’t need to be wearing a dress from the runway to look beautiful. It could just be from the rack at Zara, but make you smile just as much!

Fashion Blogger Shloka Narang of The Silk Sneaker reveals her favourite colour to wear as millennial pink styling Sandro and Maje

Why I Will Always Love Millennial Pink

Fashion Blogger Shloka Narang of The Silk Sneaker reveals her favourite colour to wear as millennial pink styling Sandro and Maje

Who Doesn’t Love Millennial Pink?

As 2017 comes to an end, I can’t help but wonder if everyone will stop loving “millennial” pink and start loving something else. Of course, it’s only natural that trends come and go but I for one, have always loved pink. Pastel, dusty or millennial, there is nothing pink that I can resist so of course, I have no intention of ever abandoning this colour. What I love most about this colour is how easy it is to style and match. One might think that pink is a difficult, if not statement colour, to wear and style but it’s quite the opposite. I find that my pastel pink pieces go with almost everything I own, regardless of the colour.

What I also love about pink is that it’s able to add a touch of femininity to any outfit I might style! For example, I’m not exactly one to put on a super sporty/athleisure look. (Although I was the captain of my varsity football/soccer team in high school!) I fell in love with this gorgeous hoodie from Sandro. Paired with jeans, it’s the perfect spin on athleisure but paired with this gorgeous Maje pink skirt, it’s an elegant outfit in the making! I love how the navy blue and white compliment the baby pink and of course the whole outfit was pulled together with my favourite new thigh high boots!

Of course, as luck would have it, Anastasija and I came across this beautiful, lit up, pink wall. Didn’t I say I couldn’t resist pink? It made for such a fun backdrop to an outfit that I know I’m going to be wearing on repeat so don’t be surprised if you see it at least a few more times on my Instagram!

What is a colour you can’t stop wearing and why?
