TREND ALERT: UNDERWEAR AS OUTERWEAR

underwear-compressed

One of the latest trends in fashion is wearing your underwear as outerwear. Bralettes, corsets, bandeaus, slip dresses, bodysuits, satin camisoles and silk robes are having their moment right now. These traditional under garments can be worn alone or can easily (and stylishly) be layered over other basic pieces. For example, you can wear a corset or waist belt over a dress à la Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian. Or you can rock a bralette or bandeau on top of a t-shirt just like Kendall Jenner. You can even throw your bathrobe over your sweater and jeans and call it a day.

I know this trend is not for everyone, but I also believe that if you’ve got it, there is no reason not to flaunt it. And who doesn’t secretly want to wear their pajamas in the daytime? I know I do.

TREND ALERT: SEQUINS

It used to be that one only wore sequins on New Years Eve or perhaps to an 80’s themed birthday party, but now, it has become more than appropriate to wear glittery sequins day to night, in the most casual of settings to the fanciest affairs. When done right, sequins have a way of telling onlookers that you want to be seen and that they are going to enjoy what they see. Here are a few of my favorite sequined pieces on the market now.

This fall, there will be a huge emphasis on statement shirts. More specifically, unconventional tops with dramatic, theatrical sleeves are going to be very trendy. Designers are reinventing ways to construct (and deconstruct) traditional silhouettes and shapes.

If you are one of those people who really struggle with saying how you feel or confronting other people, you are in luck! Graphic tees have come back in style with a vengeance and that means it is now more than appropriate to literally wear your heart on your sleeve (or your chest). Forget about sending vague text messages, snarky emails, or subtweets. If you really want to get your message out there on the sly, put it on a t-shirt!

*Disclaimer: I do not condone passive aggressive behavior in any way and am actually a huge advocate for telling people to their faces how you really feel while you still can, but trust me when I say I know we all have those days when we’re feeling a little shy or reserved…or just downright petty lol.
