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.

'meta-dressing', fashion terms, fashion vocabulary, fashion words, fashion-speak, It's all about me!

 

 

Meta

a word of Greek origin, which translates to mean ‘self’.

 

 

…

 

In current vernacular, meta- dressing (meta-clothing)

refers to garments with images/words

which directly reference the wearer, a bit of narcissistic fashion-

or with images of symbols, people, words of connection to the wearer.

 

 

…

Apropos synonyms

(as labeled by meappropriatestyle)

‘selfie fashion’

‘narcissistic wear’

‘narcissistic fashion’

‘I’m a celebrity clothing’

(You get the idea!)

…

Meta – dressing

It’s all about me

Fashion-speak is a living language,

ever evolving to better describe

dress images presented

…

And the term is

maximalist

….

 

 

max ‘ i ‘ ma ‘  list 

(adj. / n. depending on context)

1   Referenced from the book:

Brooklyn Street Style:  The No-Rules Guide to Fashion

by Anya Sacharow & Shawn Dahl, photographs by Sioux Nesi-

 

2    To describe the wearing of multiple pieces of a single jewellery type-

(rings, necklaces, bracelets)

of varying materials / designs with a style directive of

‘more is more and then some’ !

3   An emphasis on accessorising as key component of creating

a unique/personal fashion statement

4   For ladies and gents,  an added element of interest to an over-all look

…

Layering/stacking multiple pieces of jewellery is a style trend that ‘keeps giving’;

make it your own for spring / summer 2016.
