Followers of fashion have witnessed some pretty outrageous looks emerge this year but 2 of the most important stories to make it for the high street are distressed jeans and thigh boots (definitely not together!).
These items are not for your faint-hearted, but when you have the confidence to give them a shot is really a breakdown of both looks and the ways to cause them to become do the job.
Distressed jeans
Love or loathe them, distressed jeans remain big news. After Balmain’s sellout spring/summer collection took the fashion world by storm the look is apparently sticking with us not less than another season. Stars sporting this trend include Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham, Rachel Bilson, SJP, Ashley Olsen and Kate Bosworth. There are lots of methods to wear them if you will find the confidence, out of your tender are a couple of tips from the Models Direct office:
Do:
o Keep designed to suit skinny and low rise
o Pair your faded jeans having a vintage rock chick vest/t-shirt
o Add a leather biker jacket, military jacket, or polish the look which has a crisp cut blazer
o Dress the look to make it dancefloor-appropriate with ankle boots, studded/embellished high heel pumps or strappy platforms
o Bunch the jeans up with the ankle or roll the hem to show off your footwear
o Accessorise with studded or spiked jewellery
Don’t:
o Be fearful of straps, skulls, ruffles and studs… the harder better!
o Mens jeans online with florals or fussy prints
o Pair with feminine blouses
Over-the-knee boots
Thigh boots get home for that bold! After featuring heavily around the catwalk this year, thigh boots are hailed because the ultimate autumn/winter 2009 ‘must have’ for your brave fashionista.
These risque boots come with a degree of implied eroticism attached so you need to put some thought into the method that you put them on. Here are a few tips that may help:
o Stay away from patent and select natural-looking materials like suede or genuine leather.
o Go for muted shades of grey, brown and also cream.
o You don’t have to wear this look which has a stiletto heel – try some flats or choose wedges.
o Match your tights for your boots or tuck in skinny jeans or leggings that complement the colour to get a leggier ‘look’.
o Tone down all of your outfit.
To achieve a similar look, wear the tallest boots you already own, with over-the-knee socks layered over dark tights.
If you’re feeling really brave they even make both looks together, as seen recently on Ciara and Kate Hudson.
