As we venture into the coming months this dreary winter will soon be a thing of the past. This is a time to start thinking about your spring/summer wardrobe. However, it can be a very difficult time outfit-wise as we're still in that limbo like transition. For this reason, it made sense for me to write my first post about a couple of my must have outfits of the moment.
Me in nothing but River Island.
The look above is one of my absolute favourites at the minute. The faded grey skinnies perfectly complement the mottled purple T-Shirt and the distressed military boots set the outfit off nicely. This look is simple and easy to wear, without compromising on impact. I love this combination on myself, but it's one that would suit anyone regardless of your body type or complexion. I'm a fan of the deep purple here, but if it's not your cup of tea fear not! Similar styles are available in a range of different colours but make sure you stick to darks, an alternative is listed below.
I swear by River Island stretch skinnies. They come in a range of styles and colours and have an excellent fit. This grey pair works wonders rolled up with these brown boots, which make a breathtaking statement to the simple outfit. The soft leather and suede panel combination, teamed with the cladded lip and brass zips, give just the right amount of edge. I often wear this outfit out clubbing, and even during the day (with a warm bomber jacket).
The T is now sold out, but here are some great RI alternatives...
To complete the Look...
You ain't nothin' but a hound tooth sweater.
Isn't it annoying when things you buy go on sale? Luckily for you guys many of the items in this post are indeed cheaper than when I purchased them. This is one of the benefits of the Winter to Spring transition. This look is perfect for when you want to be more chic without over doing it.
Here I have paired this smart 'hound tooth' jumper with contrasting sleeves and faux leather shoulder patches, with some staple, black stretch skinnies. This look oozes class and thats exactly what I feel when I'm wearing it. What you will soon discover as this blog progresses, is that I am a huge fan of monochrome, and it's just my luck that it's in at the moment! Black and white is such an effortless paring that looks super chic and suits almost anyone.
Love at first sight.
My favourite shoes for this outfit are my black Zara high tops, which carry the monochrome theme beautifully. I wear these far too much as they literally go with everything, but how can I help it when they look so good?! They have a quirky reflective zip at the back and a subtle snakeskin pattern, giving impact from all angles. I just hope my mum doesn't get annoyed about me leaving them on her kitchen table.
To get this look...
Hound Tooth Sweater with Faux Leather Applique - £9.99 (Zara Man) (over £25 less than I paid!)
The sneakers are sold out on the Zara website but there's a new leather alternative that i've fallen in love with, watch this space as I intend on having them in my life very soon...
Be sure to make the next few months as fashionable as you can! If you look good, you'll feel good, and what better way to combat the last stretch of this cold?! Look out for my next blog which will help you keep your skin looking top notch.
Thanks for reading,
Marco.
