How to create a stylish look?
The street trend has absorbed the best that fashion trends offer. He reveals himself as much as possible in summer and off-season looks.
Spring bows often combine romantic and brutal things. It can be an elegant dress or a sundress that is combined with a denim jacket. The outfit can be supplemented with laconic boats or platform sandals.
This year, the combination of a free-cut top with a tight-fitting bottom is relevant, for example, a duo of an oversized sweater and jeans.
A fashionable hairstyle is loose curls, sometimes with some carelessness.
In any look, you need to draw attention to one bright detail. If these are flashy pants with a print, it is better to pair them with a classic blouse, add a couple of accessories, flat shoes and a bag in a sporty style.
If in the set there is a thing with a shiny texture, so as not to oversaturate the daytime bow, you need to dilute the shine with clothes of neutral monochromatic shades.
A delicate feminine skirt or a light dress with frills can make a set with an aggressive biker jacket, a jacket with shoulder straps and massive metal jewelry.
A hit for girls can be created by combining a double-breasted jacket "off the shoulder", a classic skirt, a knitted T-shirt and high-heeled shoes.
Jeans in grunge style, a top with a bright print and a large belt will help harmoniously blend into the atmosphere. You can add femininity to the image by picking up a thin blouse and platform shoes.
Street style for the cold season implies layering. A coat or fur coat can be worn over a shirt and vest. The colors of outerwear can be any.
Leggings and jeans can be combined with bright T-shirts and complemented with ugg boots. A bow consisting of denim shorts, a top and a thin cardigan looks no less impressive and stylish. At the same time, a torn cut and an asymmetrical hem of the bottom are welcomed in creating an image.
Boots and ankle boots go well with gaiters. An indispensable attribute of street style for the cold season is a voluminous scarf. Ideally, the set includes mittens and a hat of the same knit and shade.
