Why I Think This Designer T Shirt Is A Better Investment Than The Gucci T Shirt

The Battle of The Luxury T-Shirt; Gucci vs…

In the past few years, we’ve seen a rise of luxury houses churn out cult designer t shirts. We’ve seen it with Dior (Think, “We Should All Be Feminists” the first runway look of Maria Grazia Chiuri to come down the runway), Chanel (from their Cuba collection) and of course, the ever famous Gucci t shirt. Not only does Gucci have one cult t shirt, they have two! This season they came out with another one that everyone is racing to get their hands on. That being said, I am not racing for that second one (yes, I admit I have the first one which I styled ages ago in this post here.. how things have changed!) because I think that there is another designer t shirt that is a much better investment than the Gucci t shirt (gasp! the shock and horror!); The Saint Laurent Logo T Shirt.

When investing in a designer t shirt you need to consider more than whether the piece is trendy at the moment. The ones that are worth the investment, are the ones that stand the test of time for you personally. The Saint Laurent Logo T-Shirt, which has as much of a cult following as the Gucci one, is a piece that you will be able to style today, tomorrow and for years after that. While it dabbles in logomania with the original YSL logo from their first store in Paris in the centre, the logo’s size makes this t-shirt so much more wearable, subtle and chic. I also love the acid wash effect, an immediate cool girl factor.

This is a super cool luxury investment that is subtle enough for you to style and keep in your wardrobe for more than just a season or trend cycle. I think that is one of the most important factors when it comes to purchasing luxury goods.

I styled my new favourite t shirt with a Topshop white denim skirt. I always have a certain amount of key basics that I stock up on from the high street. I think Topshop has an amazing denim selection and I always have at least two denim skirts from them in my wardrobe. I love the mix of light colours for summer; so fresh! The look was complete with some statement Dior slides and these adorable & Other Stories sunglasses. Talk about a high low mix!

The High Low Edit: Outfit #3

Today’s outfit is actually more high street than anything! This super summer look was created using three key pieces from Nasty Gal; they all looked so luxe and you could never tell where they are from! I paired this sporty polo, with this adorable skater skirt. I completed the look with a baker boy hat!

To really add that touch of luxury to my look I carried my favourite Jadior Dior bag and wore my Gucci Bee Sneakers.

Remember, accessories are everything! They can make a total high street look seem much more luxe. More than that, when shopping on the high street, opt for pieces that are classic designs! They look much more expensive when you wear them too!

The High Low Edit: Outfit #2

I bought these Topshop trousers a few months ago and they are one of my favourite pairs because they can be dressed up or dressed down. I was wearing them in this office inspired outfit here, and I’m wearing them for today’s Instagram outfit feature. They are a high street piece that look so much more luxe than they are. If these are not available in your size, I have linked to a similar pair from Topshop that are also super chic.

I paired the trousers with an old silky polo from Pinko. I love that it’s a crop top and I’ve tried to find a similar version for you below.

Style Tip: Pair crop tops with high waisted trousers. It looks more elegant as you still show enough skin to elongate your silhouette without looking too out there!

The look is complete with my Louis Vuitton handbag and my Valentino sandals. I picked up these sandals a few years ago and I wear them on repeat when summer arrives! I found a similar pair on ASOS as well if you want to recreate this look!

Happy

Happy Monday! It seems like summer has finally arrived and I couldn’t be more excited. I’ve had my eye on so many cute summer pieces that I’m so excited to bring out (or add to the wardrobe hehe!) Last week I got to attend the gorgeous Havainas press day; they really brought that Brazilian summer vibe to London! I actually grew up wearing Havainas in India and I still have some of my favourite pairs with me are in London; that includes a pair with pearls all over it! So cute right? It was such a great moment for me to be able to work with a brand that I love so much! Are any of you Havainas lovers?

I also added some adorable new pieces to my closet, two of which I’ve highlighted below! Would love to hear what you think of them!

The High Low Edit: Outfit #1

One of my goals with The Silk Sneaker is to constantly give you guys style inspiration whether that be through styling advice, tips or tricks. One of the key aspects of my style is mixing the best of luxury fashion and the best of the high street to create fashionable and trendy outfits that you can wear on a day to day basis too. That’s why I’m replacing Friday Favourites with a brand new seris called “The High Low Edit”

You can expect a quick dose of inspiration every Friday, where I break down how I created an outfit that I wore previously during the week. Where I got each piece from, why these pieces are worth it and some similar items. All that in just a quick glance! I hope you enjoy this new series and if you do recreate this outfit, remember to tag me on Instagram and #TheSilkSneakerEdit so I can see it too!

I love this Helmut lang hoodie because it works season after season as a great off duty piece. It’s very relaxed and can be styled with virtually anything. This is a great investment piece because the fit is also very flattering!

In terms of the high street finds; This Zara skirt is a winner because of the fabulous button details. The khaki colour means it will last you for more than just one season as well. I’ve had this ASOS waist belt for ages now and it never fails me. It’s one of those high street pieces that looks so much more luxe than it is. Those are the kinds of high street pieces you want to invest in!

The Holiday Packing List: What to Pack for The Caribbean

The Perfect Holiday Packing List…

Editors Note: To see all the swimwear I wore on my trip to Jamaica click here. To see all the outfits I wore on my trip to Jamaica, click here!

With summer finally here, we are all in the midst of planning our summer vacations, which means you are in need of the perfect holiday packing list. If you’re going somewhere warm and sunny like Jamaica or the Carribean (or anywhere with a beach for that matter; that means Italy too!) and are wondering what to pack for a week at the beach, I have got you covered from the perfect holiday outfits, the most adorable sandals and the best summer accessories too. Follow my holiday packing list and you’ll be having your most stylish holiday yet!

Starting with clothes, I’ve rounded up some of my favourite pieces that are perfect for mixing and matching while you’re away. Remember that with every statement or colourful piece, you need a good basic to go with it. Personally, Uniqlo is my favourite spot for affordable and good quality basics. My suitcase to Jamaica was full of white t-shirts and linen shirts, along with these key pieces!

In terms of accessories, I like to go bold and colourful because holidays are the best time to do just that! Don’t be afraid to get creative! For example, use your favourite silk scarf in your hair, or tie it over your bikini as a bandeau top! Paired with a great pair of linen trousers, you are set!

Lastly, the right beauty products are essential when you are in the sun! I’ve linked to my favourite suncare right now, the best after sun care lotion, and some amazing oils to keep you glowing and moisturised without messing your tan!

My Jamaica Swimwear Diary: The Best Swimsuits for 2018

The Best Swimsuits for 2018…

Summer is finally here and I couldn’t be happier because it means it’s time to get your holiday wardrobe in order! As you may know, I was in Jamaica at the start of this month and I was so excited to finally get all my favourite swimsuits for 2018 out. What better way to start sharing my trip with you, than to share a little look into all my favourite, and what I think are the best swimsuits for 2018! There is something for everyone from the cutest high street finds to my favourite luxury pieces that I think are worth the splurge. I hope you also find some summer inspiration on how to style your swimsuits through my summer holiday outfits! So, here’s a look at all the swimwear I was rocking in the Jamaican sunshine. Remember to turn off your AdBlocker so that you can see all my picks and recommendations as well! Comment below with what your favourite swimsuit of my trip was!

Day One: The Chic One Piece

Luxury

On our first day there, I opted for a stylish and classic one piece from one of my favourite swimwear brands, Solid & Striped. This one piece is a classic cut and universally flattering so you know it will last season after season. I’ve linked to this swimsuit, and a few affordable, but still stylish, options below. Make sure your ad blocker is off so you can see these amazing options.

Day Two: Candy Stripes

High Street

I am totally obsessed with stripes this season and this striped bikini is no exception. I wore this on day two and was so impressed with the quality of this swimsuit. I love the fun yellow and white stripes as well. This one is from Next which you can get here. For other affordable options, or for an investment piece, scroll the widget below.

Day Three: The Frill Bikini

High Street

We went to a local beach on day three where I wore this pink frilled Topshop bikini. I love the delicate frilled details on the top; another super flattering piece. This is from last season, but it’s still available in baby pink and they also made a frill bikini in baby blue. For more options see below!

Day Four: The New Designer

Luxury

You all know how much I love discovering new designers and Hunza G is my latest crush. They are a London based company who make the cutest swimwear. I particularly love this bikini becuase of the tortoise shell detail and the terry fabric. Plus, the colour is mind blowing! I got this one from Koi Bird, a swimwear pop up in Marylebone which is very much worth checking out if you have a trip coming up!

Day Five: The Classic Bikini

Luxury

If you’re looking for a flattering, classic bikini worth investing in, look to Heidi Klein. Her styles are cut to perfection and her prints will last you season after season. This stripe bikini for example, would never go out of style! You guys were loving it on Instagram and I’m sure it’s because Heidi Klein has the best cuts!

Day Six: The Rainbow Touch

Luxury

Another amazing piece from Solid & Striped! I picked this piece up right before I left for Jamaica and I am so glad I did. The colours look amazing against a tan and the style is also really comfortable. I wore this when we went river rafting down the Rio Grande! I’ve linked to this one and some more affordable rainbow pieces for this season below.

Day Seven: The Show Stopper

Luxury

I bought this Zimmermann swimsuit back in January and have been waiting to wear it since then. I was so excited to finally share it with you all on this trip to Jamaica. Everything about this swimsuit is beautiful, from the detailing of the flowers on the bottom, the chic waist belt, the high waisted style and the off shoulder top! If there was ever a swimsuit worth the splurge, this is it. Of course, I’ve linked to a few more affordable options of high waisted swimsuits below!

Day Eight: The Iconic Piece

Luxury

The Missoni print is unmistakable and if you’re looking to expand your luxury swimsuit collection, investing in a Missoni piece is well worth it. The other pro about investing in a Missoni swimsuit is that they are timeless and last forever. It’s a print that will never go out of style so you know you’re getting your money’s worth! I opted for a high waisted style again. It’s very flattering for petite girls like me! I’ve linked to some more affordable printed options below.

Day Nine: The Surprise

High Street

You know when you look at a swimsuit and you aren’t sure if it’s going to look that great, but you suddenly put it on and fall in love with the style? This black bikini from Frankie Swimwear was exactly that. I wasnt’ sure if I was going to love the one shoulder style but once I put it on I felt so chic! It’s a very minimal yet bold style and something that anyone can rock! This one is available on The Bikini Project; a website that just launched today!
