How To Wear An All Red Look in Autumn

Editors Note: See how I styled this same skirt for London Fashion Week here or how I styled it with 3 Autumn Must -Haves here.

This Is How You Create The Perfect Red Outfit For Fall…

Red happens to be one of my favorite colors and it also happens to be this season’s hottest shade to wear. Not only is it all about incorporating accents into your look, it’s about creating a top to toe red outfit! If you’re wondering how to wear monochrome, let alone how to wear red in the fall, I’ve got you covered with this outfit idea and a few tips to help you along the way. Trust me, you’re one step away from a street style look!

Pair With Subtle Colours. I think the best way to make a red outfit work for every day, is to incorporate some more subtle shades into your look. Since red is such a bold color, it helps to tone down the look by throwing in some beige and white. I threw over a light beige knit to make my outfit more wearable. My white shoes also broke up the white look and complimented by knit!

Mix & Match Shades. A monochrome look doesn’t mean it all has to be one shade! Try and mix and match different shades of red to create an interesting outfit combination! Try and work with shades that are brighter and lighter and see how you can put them together! For example, I would love to incorporate some burgundy into this look!

Be Confident. Last but not least, be confident! Wearing top to toe of any color can be quite intimidating. The key to pulling off a monochrome outfit is just being confident and carrying yourself with your head held high! Remember, confidence can make or break an outfit especially if you’re going for such a bold shade! I am sure that any monochrome look you wear is going to look great!

How To Wear Your Favourite Summer Skirt in Autumn

It’s time to transition that summer skirt in autumn…

There is no doubt that autumn is here in London. The wind is getting colder than any of us would like and I find myself wanting to snuggle in a sweater more than before. I know so many of us are so excited for sweater weather but a small part of me also doesn’t want to leave behind some of my favorite summer pieces. There are always those pieces we all wish we had worn more of in the summer, those pieces that make us feel so glamorous, or beautiful. The summer skirt is one of those pieces (especially for me!). What’s great is that it’s also one of the pieces you can very easily transition into your autumn wardrobe! Today it’s all about how to wear your favorite summer skirt in the autumn…

The formula is actually pretty simple. Grab your favorite summer skirt. For me, it’s this beautiful Isabel Marant Etoile piece. I love the ruffles and how feminine I feel when I wear this skirt. Now throw over a super chunky knit (or a lightweight one!) and add a pair of boots or sneakers. What I really adore about this formula is that the shoes always add some edge to your summer skirt, giving the whole look a very different vibe! Don’t be afraid to play around with texture or colors like I have here by adding in the yellow. You can even try this formula with your favorite summer dress!

I just wanted to also give these sneakers a mention. I got them from Amazon from their new brand, Find! They are so comfortable and so stylish – who would have guessed right? The mix of colors makes them super easy to match!

So how are you going to be wearing your summer skirt? Would you try this look?

Why This Is My New Favourite Slogan Tee…

My New Favourite Slogan Tee…

Slogan tees are a favourite for 2017 and it doesn’t surprise me one bit. Not only are slogan tee’s a street style favourite, but they are my favourite too! We’ve seen our fair share of slogans with a deeper meaning attached at Dior and Prabal Gurung. We’ve seen logo mania at Gucci and now the options for what you can have emblazoned across your tee are endless. I’ve dipped into all off the above and when I saw this Ganni tee I knew I had to have it. For those of you who didn’t know, I’m actually a massive foodie. I love my food. I love to cook as well and breakfast has to be my favourite meal of the day. My all time favourite breakfast is a croissant and a coffee. Of course, a tee shirt dedicated to croissant is one that I have to have. Croissant, mon amour? Duh! I love that slogan tees are a way for us to express ourselves with fashion in a more obvious way. You can tell the world your thoughts, feelings, likes and dislikes. I love the contrast of mood between the tee and this feminine Isabel Marant skirt. (Another current favourite!) I also have been wearing these Chloe boots on repeat – can anyone else believe that it’s already cold enough for them?! I love the edge they add to any look though so I’m not complaining too much!

How To Rock that Statement Feminist T Shirt

The Feminist T-Shirt.

We’ve seen them down the runway at Dior. We’ve seen them on the rails at Topshop. We’ve seen our favourite influencers rock them around the world. The statement feminist t-shirt is here and it’s here to stay. One of the most notable moments of NYFW was when Prabal Gurung had an army of models in statement t-shirts walk the runway. The slogans were all about equality and empowerment. Following the show, some of my favourite influencers like Aimee Song, Irene Kim and Chriselle Lim took to the streets in these same t-shirts. So, when I saw the Prabal Gurung t-shirts hanging in Selfridges, I couldn’t resist but snap one up. As an influencer, I find that it’s expected you share some sort of political view point. By not doing so, you risk the label ‘slacktivist’. I don’t usually address political issues on The Silk Sneaker, but I felt like today’s outfit gave me the opportunity to briefly share my views. Being a feminist, to me, is about more than just a statement feminist t-shirt. To me, feminism is about equality, not just for women, but for everyone. I do not think that feminism is about the rise of female over male, but rather about equal treatment in every situation regardless of your sex or gender. (Note how I use the words both gender and sex, but that’s a whole different discussion point) I have had the honour of being able to grow up surrounded by strong women. This includes my mother and her close knit of friends who I still look up to today, the amazing girlfriends who are now my sisters, and the group of influencers I get to know on my journey here on The Silk Sneaker. Women are strong and we are fearless, so of course, I really do believe that we should all be feminists.
