If there is one thing we’ve learned, it’s that there are fashion statements, and then there are fashion exclamations. What’s the difference, you ask? Well, Alice in Wonderland’s blue dress with a white apron is a minimalistic sartorial combo that works as a simple fashion statement, while the Mad Hatter’s yellow tie with pink spots and a lime green top coat is exclaiming . . . something (mostly, “I can’t dress myself properly”).
We don’t want your next combination to scare Alice out of Wonderful, so we have picked 6 fashion combinations that go together like jam tarts and tea.
DENIM & CAMEL
Denim and camel is a colour combo that is powerful and chic for women of all ages and career drives. You just look (and feel) successful! And, get this – you can choose a darker shade of each material for an even more dramatic and mysterious effect. Who is this girl?
NAVY & STRIPES
There’s a reason why Nautica get all the compliments, and while wearing a look in peak physical conditioning doesn’t hurt, the main reason is the combination is sharp, wealth looking and simple.
Now you can bring out your inner-sailor by combining navy fabrics with stripes for a casual and preppy look that’s perfect for almost any social function.
TURTLE NECKS & TWEED
Since the 18th century, tweed material has been keeping people warm and fashionable with its tight-knit, insulating properties. Similarly, turtlenecks are perfect for keeping ladies cozy and sophisticated-looking during seasonal transitions.
YSL SUITS & SNEAKERS
Dressing down your suit with a pair of low-top sneakers (white shoes, white laces) is the perfect way to get all dressed up with nowhere to go. While we would never recommend pulling off this look at the wrong occasion, it is still the perfect way to freshen up a traditional look and receive positive attention while you are out-and-about.
CONTRADICTION COMBO
Perhaps the secret to every girl’s stylish appeal is the contradiction combo. Take your hard rocking leather and mix it back with chiffon or lace. Take your double denim and mix it back with Swarovski crystals, apricot leather vest and heels. And one of the favourites; black, flannel shirts and leopard shoes. Think this looks strange? Heed the picture.
