Following fashion could be a pointless job, but also fun, so we’re here to give you a few tips about what’s in this season. Would you wear these pieces?
GIRLS
The advice for jackets and coats is following: wear statement fake fur, plaid overcoats and aviator-style jackets accessorised with skinny scarves and fun-coloured hats.
Cold winter is coming so it’s always useful to have some chunky knits, thoughtful layers, turtlenecks, excessive ruffles and leggings as pants. Don’t forget cropped sweaters on top of checked shirts! And throw in some velvet, please!
When it comes to footwear, fashion is as follows: pointy-toe shoes, open-toe booties and square heels (preferable wooden ones).
Accessories, to keep the fun going: choker necklaces, jumbo ear pieces, fun hair pieces and dark and silver nail polishes, paired with very imaginative hairstyles (bobs, bangs, high ponytails, voluminous buns and tiaras).
BOYS
You can also have a lot of fun this season and keep warm as well! The most important thing is to keep a casual and street style wherever you can, but add a little bit of colours to your everyday clothes.
A must-have item for this season is an over-sized jacket in any shade of blue, brown or green. It should be paired with a pair of good combat trousers and ankle boots (any but cowboy ones, please)! If you want to look really cool add at least one turtleneck sweater and a checked shirt. The bravest ones can also try floral print.
Colours of the season definitely are: metallic, silver, gold, grey, deep red and military green.
Which of these things would you wear! Let us know your opinion.
