Stylenomics by Essie
1. LEATHER: This season, we’re seeing leather incorporated
in most pieces of clothing; from classic leather jackets, purses and pants to
the detailing on sweaters, skirts and accessories.
2: STUDS: Studs and spikes give you an instant edge. For the epitome of rocker-chic, I suggest adding a studded purse or a spiked silk blouse to your wardrobe.
3: JEWEL TONES: Ruby, emerald and sapphire
have a way of coming back from year to year. Jewel tones work great together,
so don’t be shy to play with patterns and colour blocking. Since these shades
are timeless, invest is some key pieces such as a forest green coat, navy purse
or rich burgundy pants.
4: SERIOUS BLING: Crystals, rhinestones,
gold and statement necklaces (like the Collar Trend) are all the rage. You can
easily update your wardrobe with a bold cuff or a little bedazzling (so retro –
yet so cool!).
5: CAMOUFLAGE: Camouflage is to fall what
bold floral was to spring. We’ve seen great pieces on the runway, which
incorporate all the season’s hottest trends: leather, studs, crystals and jewel
tones... the most common of which is the glitter spiked camo jacket.
