What to wear to Fashion Week (or Friday night outfit inspo, if you're not attending)

accreditation

Fashion Week, whether held in Cape Town, Jozi or Paris always fascinates me. The shows, the eclectic mix of people, the buzz in the air; but I love the street style in particular.

It shows what trends people are wearing now, what's to come and how everyone mixes it together. Putting an outfit together to some, is an art. And it's a treat to get to appreciate it even on a small scale.

Here are just a few items, palettes and outfits I am pining after. Because I wouldn't recommend wearing all of them at once, I am going to advise you (and myself) to always mix a few on trend pieces with classics. This way your look will always be unique, plus your clothes will adapt as the seasons and 'It' items change. 

Red

This dress is so vibrant it might even hurt the eyes of the sun. Everyone needs one standout frock in their closet.

Check

It's a pattern that's defs having a (much-deserved) moment. And as everyone will soon be wearing check blazers, buck the trend with tailored check pants instead and pair that with a pageboy hat. 

Or pair them with a beret...

Soft textures

Play with fabrics like velvet and silk to create a look that's comfy and luscious.

Half-sunnies, cat eye version

Yaaaaas!

Oversized shirt and a mini 

This look with a pair of boots is killa. (I'm dressing the hell out of this look tonight.)

Thick gold earrings are everywhere and go with everything.

Be playful

Wear a girly, detailed dress, preferably in white or a pastel hue and add a pair of dark sneakers.

Layer

Wear a jersey over your oversized white shirt or dress to create this lovely effect...

FRIYAY.
