The exhilarating thing about fashion? There are absolutely no rules. While there will always be outdated dictums like “no white after Labor Day,” the true lovers of the art form know their best outfits come from ignoring the status quo and letting their individuality shine through.
Paris and UK-based model Elvie proved an expert rule breaker by wearing pastels in the middle of fall. She paired a light blue quilted, seashell-embroidered skirt with a pink Henley and a yellow puffer bag. White floor-length pants worn under the skirt with matching point-toe pumps grounded the look, and perfectly complemented Elvie’s platinum blonde tresses. ShaVonne Boggs, also a model and apparent fashion renegade, mixed patterns this week – another fashion “don’t”. A cozy alpaca sweater set with gradient stripes in tonal browns went well with a ballerina buckle ballet flat in a beige and black zebra print.
As temperatures drop, outerwear naturally becomes an essential wardrobe element, and, like last week, standouts were those who treated their coats and jackets as more than an extra layer of warmth, but as a means of personal expression and a clever way to give an outfit that extra pop. Stylist and personal shopper Reem wore a luxurious double-face wool and alpaca coat that came with a matching scarf – perfect for looking extremely chic with minimal effort. Gigi Vassallo, a London-based multi-hyphenate, wore a black leather blouson jacket, smartly styled with dark grey cargo shorts over black pants and boots. A white sweater tied at the waist interrupted the moody color palette and focused the eye.
Let’s be honest; Instagram can be the best place to find your next outfit. There is nothing wrong with grabbing a little inspiration from the Internet, and these creatives brought the best style this week.
