Streetstyle: Hood and Snapback Combo

Arianne SuggsUpdated on April 17, 2022December 17, 2014Leave a Comment

It is cold outside even here in normally sunny southern California. Keeping warm and staying in style can be a challenge especially when all you want to do is bundle and wrap up like a burrito. Nevertheless, we remember some cool layering by Angel Haze when she attended the menswear Givenchy fashion show in Paris, France. Angel didn’t just wear a hat, but she then added a hoodie on top. The backwards hat will always be cool in our book and layering on an outerwear piece with a hood just seals the urban fashion deal.

Supermodel Joan Smalls slays whether in front of a camera and lights or stomping down a runway. This month Joan shows that her modeling skills are no small potatoes by posing to the death for an editorial for Vogue Japan. Smalls is slinging snowboards as well as pink, red and blue braided ponytails all while in fringe knee-high boots, fur as well as leopard print attire.

We have said it once and will continue to preach how wonderful it is to see color being utilized in fashion during winter. Of course the usual couture forecast during this season involves darker, drab shades so it is refreshing to see vibrancy in this editorial. Take notes and remember just because it’s cloudy and dark outside doesn’t mean it has to take all the fun out of your personal style. Be bold, be you and always have fun.

En Noir Fall-Winter 2014-2015

If you are following our wave length today we are showcasing mens couture that caught our eye so that you can Get Your Man Right all this season. The En Noir Fall-Winter 2014-2015 collection had some of the most striking jackets for men. A great jacket can easily pull together an ensemble so even if your special guy doesn’t really care for fashion, throw him in a well designed coat, shirt and pants then he is set. We thought En Noir’s paneled jacket was just too fab and you can NEVER go wrong with leather whether male or female. The entire collection was modern, trendy and proved minimalistic style can be wait for it…legendary!

The Pose: Is this male model not serving?! We just had to point out that we loved his cute little smirk 🙂

Leather Layering Streetstyle Winter 2014

When it’s cold layering is essential to keeping warm and being able to easily remove clothing if things get a little too hot for your liking. There is often the common thought if you layer too much of the same item things can tend to look a little funny and not in a good way. However, if done right layering a full outfit with denim or leather on leather (shown) can be cool, chic and very modern.

Fall 2014 Streetstyle: Beanie Hats

Arianne Suggs November 3, 2014November 3, 2014Leave a Comment

Fashion doesn’t always have to be all pain and no gain. This season you do not need to freeze your couture tail off in the name of fall/winter style. Case in point, some may feel that a hat may detract or lessen the drama of their ensemble. However, when done correctly hats are a great accessory to not only keep you warm, but fully complete your outfit.

Being a Cheap Can Be Chic girl beanies are one of my favorite hats to wear once the temperature takes a dip. They are very reasonably priced and look great with sweaters, trench coats, fur and matches well with scarves. Moreover, since they are normally solid color accessories you don’t have to worry about a blending issue. A beanie will easily enhance yet not dominate an already great look.

Fall 2014 Streetstyle: Color Pop

It does not matter what season it is, it is never wrong to wear color. Vibrant tints do not need to be reserved for spring and summer only. Now of course we do not want anyone looking like they belong in a pack of Skittles, but color when done correctly is very fresh and hip.

Case in point, check out Kelly Rowland when she attended New York Fashion Week. Her skirt pops yet it does not overpower her overall look. We love the two-tone skirt being paired with a tee shirt. The outfit is very laid back, but still comes off super stylish. Therefore, add some color this season to add some dimension to your fall and winter looks.

Furr’d Up

Arianne SuggsUpdated on October 17, 2014October 17, 2014Leave a Comment

Stay warm during the upcoming cool-down by incorporating furry details into your couture looks. We’re fans of fur coats, vests, gloves and even hats. These little details make the simplest outfit (i.e. jeans and top) transform into a hot style commodity. You’ll add a certain “je ne sais quoi” to your ensembles that will surely get heads turning and the fashion obsessed talking…in a good way of course!

Style Tip: Winter colors tend to be quite drab and dark, keep your couture more spirited by adding pops of color.
