RED TREND! ARE YOU WEARING IT ALREADY?

Written by nickyinsideout on November 16, 2016. Posted in Fashion. 1 Comment on RED TREND! ARE YOU WEARING IT ALREADY?

Are you wearing the red trend already?

Until this fall, red was considered the colour for the ones who dare. A colour many of us would rather avoid wearing because so attention grabbing. Not anymore! The red trend is going strong this fall and we don’t need to stay away from it anymore! Actually, we need at least one red sweater in our wardrobe this winter! This is coming from someone who normally tends to stay away from bright colours.. So, how do we make sure this red trend is going to fit the rest of our wardrobe?

I am combining my Tommy Hilfiger red sweater with a leather skirt for a rock chick look but I am also going to style it with vintage denim and block heels. Any red sweater would look really cool with denim, just be careful you do not mix and match with other warm tones or too classic cuts.. Just keep it simple and casual! Also, if red doesn’t go with your skin tone or really you can’t bear it and makes you stay away from the mirror.. red ankle boots are a great choice too this season!

I literally can’t tell you how much I love red right now between all the fall/winter 2016 trends and micro trends this is one of my favourite. When it comes to trends, which are often temporary for the season, I try not to pack my wardrobe with too many items. I think one good one to rotate with different looks is the way to go: enough to feel fashion updated and enough to put it to rest when you’ve seen too much of it already.

And what about you? Will you dare to wear or you’re doing that already?

MY FAVOURITE COAT CHOICES THIS WINTER

Written by nickyinsideout on November 4, 2016. Posted in Fashion. 1 Comment on MY FAVOURITE COAT CHOICES THIS WINTER

Baby it’s cold outside! This is the period of the year we start thinking of which winter coat we want to see ourselves through the cold months ahead. Of course the outfit underneath is still very important (without counting the early morning coffee run in our PJs) but the coat is all we show all day every day, at least for the next 3 months or probably 5 if you live in The Netherlands..

The fun part is to pick out which trend will keep us warm this season!

The one I am wearing today is from French Connection. It’s the perfect fall coat! I am loving the short length for a casual look, the trendy frayed edging and loose fit.

Obviously, my idea of staying cozy and warm doesn’t end here. Actually it just started! I rounded up for you my favourite outwear trends of this winter season:

Faux Fur, adore this comfy volume, especially in the light colour. This is destinated to become one of the most coveted winter trends this A/W ’16.
Shearling Moto Jacket, for an outwear game strong! A tough-luxe take on the biker staple.
Menswear Inspired Long Coat, for the love of classics, the double-breasted style is back this season. My favourites colours are the grey, green and navy. To be super trendy, H&M also offers a low budget one which I love too.
Puffy Jacket, bff of the snowy days! Finally our moms won’t be worried we will be cold this winter and for once we won’t let her ‘down’ 😉

The thought of colder days is not that bad, after all.

PAJAMA TREND: HOW I MANAGED TO LOVE IT

Written by nickyinsideout on October 26, 2016. Posted in Fashion. 1 Comment on PAJAMA TREND: HOW I MANAGED TO LOVE IT

Have you ever thought before the 2016 pajama trend boom, to leave the house in your nightwear and still feel fabulous?

Pajama dressing can definitely be tricky and I was surprised to discover how much I am actually loving it and appreciate the comfort and elegance of wearing silk. Inspired by the catwalks of Celine and Balenciaga but not exactly jumping in it both feet.. This means, I am not wearing the full set. Instead, I tried to think how I could make the pajama trend more wearable and inspirational also for you.

As long as I love trends, I didn’t dare to wear the pajama full set out in the streets. If you do, I would make sure to add sleek accessories to complete your look! You don’t want people to think you just rolled out of bed!

I am wearing the panama set separate. You can take a look on how I styled the blouse on my Instagram and now, the pants paired with a chunky knit to make it look less pajama and more comfy-chic.

I thought I would never argue with a fashion trend which privileges comfort. I have to admit that this one can be quite tricky.. While styling these outfits, I thought the best way of feeling good in it, was mixing and matching with my wardrobe staples.

Finally, some things I learnt by pulling of the pajama trend and tips for you:

If you are going to choose a full pajama set, go 100% silk. It will add more chicness and less weirdness 😉
Choose sleek accessories. You will look more elegant and the focus won’t all go on your nightwear but will spread around your whole outfit.
Mix and match with you favourite wardrobe staples. It will make you feel and look more comfortable in it.

Now, it’s time to elevate your nighware and set it free to the streets of your own city!
