Fashion trends may come and go (on that note though, who’s excited about spring summer 2019?) but style is eternal right? It took me a long time to really find my style and get comfortable with it and a part of that journey is documented through all my outfits here on The Silk Sneaker. Over time though I’ve learnt some valuable lessons on how to look elegant, no matter the season, and how to create everyday outfits that make for street style worthy looks, no matter the season. Here are my three style commandments that I live by to always look luxe:
1. Black & white is not boring
You know, this might be the first time I’ve ever actually said that on the blogs! I am a huge fan of colour and always adding something colourful into your look (even if it is just a red lip; have you seen my guide to the best red lipsticks for brown girls?) but black and white is a timeless combination and one that I fall back on constantly. When going for black and white, I always like to add texture or something interesting. I did that here with my ruffle skirt from Zara and this adorable graphic sweatshirt.
2. Mix Between High End and High Street
Yes, I love a luxury piece but I also love a good high street find! It’s all about bringing those pieces together to create something unique. After all, it’s no fun to wear a look that is basically a cookie cutter of what you saw on the mannequin! In this look, I paired my Miu Miu sweater with one of my favourite skirts that happens to be from Zara. When I wore this, no one could tell that my skirt was high street! Smart shopping and smart pairings are what make your outfit look more expensive and put together.
3. Wear it with confidence
Sometimes, when I’m trying out a new styling trick, or something trendier that everyone isn’t on board with yet, I feel nervous. Those are the moments I remind myself that if this makes me feel good it will look good too. When you feel good in an outfit, it shows on the outside so wear your style with confidence. Remember that your style is a way of sharing who you are with the world; what you wear is saying something and don’t let anyone drown your voice out. Always stay true to you and only wear something if it suits your body type, and who you are.
I hope that you find these style tips helpful and at the least, it encourages you to try that accessory you’ve been holding back on or that dress at the back of your closet. Share your style commandments with me below!
