Do you prefer "Fashion victim" or "ensembly challenged"..?
Can you believe our favourite blockbuster from the 90's is turning 21 years old this month ? 21 years of sass, giggles, wisdom and gorgeous outfits just went by while it seems like the famed movie was airing for the first time just a little while ago. I mean, seriously, who hasn't been completely obsessed over Dionne's sense of Fashion, Tai's incredibly chill vibe and Cher's... Well, Cher's everything; from a colorful and kind personality, to a breathtaking beauty, to an undeniable faith in great love. Not to mention that all of theses gals truly knew how to pull off an outfit and how to keep-up with trends that lasted over two decades now. Let's look into it a little deeper…
1. OVERSIZED BLAZER
2. FRONT BUTTON-DOWN SKIRT
Speaking of button-down, if you don't own a front button-down skirt yet, you better head over to the closet
Forever 21/
H&M/
River Island/
Mango/you get the picture around. This is one of the biggest must-haves this season and promises to be so, for a long time coming. So it's like making an investment! Fast-Fashion retailers will have a wide variety of options for very good prices while designers created their own original versions of the 90's classic, twisting it up with their signature styles, for a slightly higher price. My top three button-down's included
LOFT,
Carven and
Etienne Marcel ;)
3. MAD FOR PLAID
Plaid has been one of the oldest and most worn pattern all-around the world for more than five centuries, mostly because associated to monarchy and posh lifestyle. Although it is such a timeless print, it can become extremely old-fashioned if worn the wrong way. Worn the right way though, it is one of those trends that anyone could pull-off, making a major Fashion statement ! Cher and Dionne certainly knew how to sport their classic suits back in 1995, without looking too generic. It is all about appropriating yourself the pattern in the right colour, shape, length and accessorizing it well. Cher's inclination for the colour yellow is such a character statement; bold, happiness-seeker and goal digger !
4. LITTLE RED DRESS
With all do respect for the infamous LBD, a new slip dress is slowly making its way back to the top and it's
the little red one ! Of course, Cher knew right away that such a
piece in such a colour was a go-getter for the perfect entrance at anytime; she made sure to sport it in a more casual but still Beverly Hills way, while attending a party
in the Valley, and to dress it up in a sultry, sexy but very PG-13 kinda-way for a date night with Christian. I'm pretty confident it would have worked if Christian wasn't actually
a cake boy but hey, A+ for effort !
I am such a fan of
this one,
this one and
that one too.
5. BLACK & WHITE
Last but not least, the black and white sporty trend. A huge thanks to mind-blowers like
Muehleder,
Michael Kors,
Stella McCartney who single-handedly brought back this genius Fashion genre to life a few seasons ago. Other brands like
Alala,
FILA,
River Island and
Pierre Hardy kept-up with it, making it what it is today in the high-Fashion industry. Sportswear no longer have to remain in your gym locker, that's a fact, but if you feel like styling-up a bit your athleisure game, be our guest ;)
Which of these trends are you currently rocking? Feel like trying on a new one this Summer?
Have a great day guys, I'm outtie !
