Sweaters draped over the shoulders and

tied around the neck with a single knot or sleeve loop-

has long been a statement styling feature,

particularly signature of preppy/collegiate fashion.

This look of  sweater as scarf has evolved,

with styling options of varying twits and turns.

 

 

It is an all encompassing fashion feature

for all seasons

for all genders

for all ages.

 

 

Incorporate SSS (sweater as scarf styling)

as a staple accessory item and fashion nod:

sleeves wrapped in multiple layers around the neck; tied diagonally crossbody

or attempt to channel something unique to a personal style.

A/W '16, athleisure wear, fashion staple, fashion trends, gender neutral fashion, runway presentations

Athleisure wear has evolved from a fashion trend to a fashion staple;

influencing dress options for work, fun and smart casual.

Gender neutural, age neutral-

athleisure wear continues to dominate runway presentation and street style.

Create a signature, on-point look for autumn / winter fashion 2016;

incorporate key elements of athleisure attire:

track suit tops/bottoms, hoodies, sweatshirts, leggings,

trousers with contrast colour side stripes,

jersey sports top, immaculate white trainers,

pieces from sportswear  labels (Adidas, Puma, etc.).

Gentle layering forms a sleek silhouette while keeping the chill at bay-

keeping warm and looking good!

Be sublte with athleisure pieces or go bold for gold

for a winning style statement.

The workings of the fashion industry clock

moves to its own set timing and scheduling:

wonderfully whacky, wholly out of sync

to the normal pace of things.

It is a chronology on a constant warp-speed trajectory.

 

…

Go with the marvelous manic flow and

embrace future looks into present wear.

It may currently be Summer 2015

but for those on fashion watch

it’s already time to position the wardrobe dial to Summer 2016.

 

The collections for fun-in-the-sun

resort wear 2016 are now showcased.

Integrate a few pieces into present styling:

be of the moment in the looks of tomorrow.

The leather harness vest

is no longer closeted as ‘hush-hush’ – fetish wear.

Out in the open and worn as accessory

for a naughty but nice style statement.
