Rocking your street style with panache

For fearless fashion mavens everywhere, rocking your street style with panache is what it’s all about. You embrace your bohemian flare and run with it. Not everyone has the courage to do this, so tip the scales in your favor and stand out among the rest of the fashion lemmings that play it safe, and let your creative side shine through this season.

So, your skinny jeans have become a wardrobe staple this year, and fortunately for you there’s no end in sight to this solid fashion trend. Currently, skinny jeans are being sold in a variety of bright and vibrant colors, making them more than just a standard denim choice for the waist down.

Pair these body-hugging jeans with cropped jackets and loosely constructed blazers, and at this time of year combine them with an oversized knit scarf coiled effortlessly around your neck for a cowl look. Try oversized shirts and sweaters worn untucked with your favorite wedges or flats to complete your street style.

Leggings

Yes, the legging has made a comeback in recent months, and they’re not exactly your ’80s legging. They’re generally a bit heavier and can be worn for a variety of contemporary looks. Charcoal gray seems to be the color of choice this year. Pair them with ankle to knee-high boots, perhaps an old pair of cowboy boots, for a great street style vibe. Or, try rocking them with textured stockings, a short skirt, and a short blazer with a slightly gathered back and wide lapels.

Accesories

Don’t forget to load up on accessories while you’re at it, a colorful pashmina draped around your neck with layers of chains and necklaces, and an oversized handbag pull it all together. Long, baggy sweaters and oversized tops and blouses is a street style trend that can be seen everywhere right now.

They’re comfortable and very forgiving for “muffin tops” and figure flaws. Anyone built like an apple instead of a pear should be rejoicing at this trend. Your ship has finally come in, or back around, at least. Try wearing a wide, low-slung belt slung across your hips atop an oversized gauze or cotton blouse, perhaps with leggings, skinny jeans, or a flowing skirt, preferably knee length or longer.

Bright and big

A shorter, more form-fitting skirt worn this way can give you the appearance of being sawn in half, which is not what you’re going for. Daring gals with great legs are currently wearing lots of these sweaters as dresses, usually with a belted waist. Bangles, baubles, and beads are all the rage this year for street style chic, and shouldn’t be overlooked.

Bright and big is in, and stacks of mismatched bracelets and cuffs worn from mid forearm to wrist are making the rounds again with fashionistas. Don’t forget long chains and necklaces. Fun and funky hats are also definitely in, along with scarves and pashminas in a variety of fabrics and colors, so splurge a little and don’t miss out on this fall trend while it lasts.

One last thing not to overlook: dark and textured nail polishes, and the darker the better. These aren’t for everyone. But if you’re brave enough to wear them, you’re brave enough to pull them off. Now, go forth and conquer!
