Summer 2015 Fashion: The Oversized Fit

No we are not talking about that saggy pants look from the gangsta music videos of old. Think wide leg pants and shirts a few sizes too big and then you are more in the ball park. Relaxed comfort is what most women aim for during this season and The Oversized Fit look can help get you there.

The London fashion scene has always been known for their forward thinking and modern take on couture. We love this look of a London local, Chanrnah Ellesse, showcasing how to pull off fashions that are not so well fitting. To really make this look work you have to remind onlookers that there is in fact a body in all of those clothes. Help yourself not get lost by showing a little skin and breaking up the color palette. Do not wear the same color from head to toe or you can risk resembling a giant skittle roaming the streets.

Moreover, have some fun with accessories to help add some pizzazz and panache. Incorporate a fun pair of shoes or a cool handbag or hair accessory to take things up a notch. The look is already exaggerated so there’s no need to go completely bananas but because it is not the norm you can add some amusing details.

Streetstyle: Representing Summer 2015

Streetstyle Representing Summer 2015

Fashion should always be a personal statement that shows off your own style in the best way. Proud to be where you are from or feel strongly about something? Say it with your clothes! Couture has the ability to speak volumes and showcase your thoughts to the world in a non-combative way.

From shirts to dresses and even accessories you can rock clothing that will let onlookers know what you are interested in and why. Therefore, have some fun this summer and represent!

Streetstyle: Alesha Dixon

Streetstyle Alesha Dixon BBC RADIO 2

We always love looking into international style because every area or region has an unique flavor. For instance, in London Alesha Dixon was seen arriving at the BBC RADIO 2 studio looking relaxed chic. Dixon wore a white tank, ripped denim pants, gold accessories, ankle boot heels and a killer hat.

As mentioned earlier this week distressed jeans are a simple way to add a little attitude or edge to your look. Keep things tamed by wearing very neutral and conservative pieces along with your emboldened denim. This will allow the pants to have more of the spotlight than having to compete with other loud fashions.

Streetstyle: Rochelle and Marvin Humes

Streetstyle Rochelle and Marvin Humes

Okay for those you don’t know here is a quick rundown on this super cool couple. They are UK based and Rochelle is the host of several shows including Ninja Warrior Uk, radio co-host on KISS FM and the Xtra Factor, a new spin-off of the wildly popular show The X Factor created by music genius Simon Cowell. Rochelle’s hubby Marvin is a former singer of the male group JLS who back in 2008 came in second overall on X Factor. After the show ended the group was signed to Epic Records and their first two singles both went to number one of the UK Singles Chart. Moreover, their first LP went on to go platinum and as of 2012  JLS’ debut single as well as album has been named one of the X Factor’s top 10 biggest-selling singles and albums.

Now that you are in the know let’s finally talk a little fashion! Rochelle and Marvin were spotted looking fabulous with Marvin in a leather jacket, pants as well as white tee and Rochelle in a chic pinstriped dress. When dressing as a couple it’s best not to wear ensembles that clash or compete with each other. The whole idea is to complement one another so that both fashion looks together seem seamless.

Spotted: Leigh-Anne Pinnock of ‘Little Mix’ at the BBC Radio 2 Studio

Leigh-Anne Pinnock of 'Little Mix' at the BBC Radio 2 Studio3

Singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock was spotted looking rather chic as she arrived at the BBC Radio Studio on June 15, 2015. Leigh-Anne is a member of the English girl group Little Mix who were formerly known as Rhyhmix. The group was formed back in 2011 and consists of four girls: Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirwall, Perrie Edwards and Jesy Nelson. If you are looking for an American comparison think along the lines of Danity Kane.

We loved the blue jumpsuit that Pinnock wore during her outing, especially since it was belted which is great for defining the waist. Moreover, her hair was also just as divine. Leigh-Anne’s high topknot was just as effortlessly cool as her ensemble.

Streetstyle: Crop Top and Denim

Streetstyle Crop Top and Denim

Festival season fashion is spilling on over into summer with the help of crop tops and denim. The look is quite streamlined but due to the revealing of skin adds much appeal! If you still feel that you want to take your look up a notch try turning to accessories to add a little more punch. As shown a great hat, sunglasses or bold shoe choice can instantly provide more flair.

Vashtie Kola and Puma S/S 2015 Collaboration

Vashtie Kola and Puma S-S 2015 Collaboration

She is an accomplished director, filmaker, artist, designer and basically Instagram royalty. Easy on the eyes and the very talented Vashtie has paired up with Puma to create a stylish collection for summer. The collection is inspired by the B-boy and NYC skate subcultures of the 80’s and 90’s. So think bombers, tanks, jerseys and gold detailing. The grittiness and edge of the collection was encapsulated by the shoot which took place around a downtown metro station in Manhattan.
