There are a lot of things to consider before making a big purchase. I’m voting for the alley cat shirt First, will I be able to pay rent this month? Second, what’s the cost per wear? Third, how badly do I need this? But let me stop you before you go too crazy. A leather jacket, while a significant investment, is a truly timeless wardrobe staple. It’s practical and can be worn almost anywhere and with nearly everything in your wardrobe, not to mention it adds instant cool factor. This season, we urge you to splurge on a leather jacket from one of these reputable brands. After all, if you’re going to spend that hard-earned cash, it should be on a brand that prides itself on its craftsmanship. We’re deep into summer, and midi skirts have practically become a staple at this point, but why not take advantage of the remaining warm weather with a shorter hemline? You may be thinking, miniskirt? Isn’t that so 2004? We get it. The thought of styling a miniskirt to feel sophisticated and fresh can be challenging. I too am still haunted by the micro denim mini I wore on repeat as a teen. But when styled appropriately, the miniskirt can actually be extremely chic. It’s the shoe pairing that can make or break the outfit. Edgy Mary Janes add a cool factor while structural pumps offer a polished take. Ahead, fashion girls show us seven different shoe styles they pair with miniskirts. Warning: You are probably going to want to copy these looks from head to toe, so have your credit card handy and get ready for some major shoe shopping.

I’m voting for the alley cat shirt ,hoodie, sweater, longsleeve and ladies t-shirt

This season saw a retelling of the romantic narrative that designers flirt with every spring season, I’m voting for the alley cat shirt only this time it comes with an edge. There were sweeping gowns to swoon over but with modern translations to balance them out, such as fresh silhouettes, fabric pairings and garment combinations. The runway imagining of the Dakota Johnson adaptation of Persuasion, if you will. For me, the mood is encapsulated by Liberowe’s viral peplum jacket. “I’m a sucker for practicality and so most of my wardrobe consists of classic, capsule basics like black trousers, striped knits and white shirts,” professes Dawes. “But that doesn’t mean there’s not a part of my soul that longs to embrace a world of prettier, more ‘feminine’ fashion. Enter the modern romantics trend; an all-round cooler, fresher and easier way to incorporate chiffon-y pastels, frills and bows into our everyday wardrobes, and an answer to my fashion prayers. “The S/S 24 collections are all about wearability, but this trend is proof that doesn’t have to mean boring. All it takes is layering a flash of pink and lace under a trench coat as seen at Gucci, adding a bow to comfortable kitten heels at Erdem or a cardigan to your favourite full skirt, or pairing pearl earrings with a monochromatic outfit by way of Givenchy. If Marie Antoinette was dressing for 2024, she’d be spearheading this trend for certain.”
