3 WAYS
Being in fashion and just being normal observant human with taste. Iâve noticed that Iâve become bothered by so many things that others wouldât take notice. What I do notice most of all however is how people dress, how they carry themselves. They walk, they slouch and their daily uniform is underwhelming to say the least. Can we not try harder people? Daily doldrums and things get us down, but on the whole, just look at it with me on the general scale of things and ask yourselves can we do better? It doesnât take a lot. And on those days, where we are out of our wits, weâve been left behind or otherwise there are three easy ways to at least let the world know, the bothered ones that we acquire some taste, some good to our wardrobe. The rest of your problems, well I can't help with that.
ONE. A coat. A long sweat if you will. It makes whatever else is going on underneath seem, streamline. Like itâs the duvet over the bed that you pull over swiftly when you have company coming over. My go-to is an American Apparel knit dark grey sweater (dark grey goes with everything) and I throw it on and suddenly Iâm somewhat chic at least by the Olsen-twins status. Or my vintage Valentino that is so long I find the tasteless stepping on it, but it masks the lack of effort underneath and the downtrodden lack of effort I had to offer that day. I I believe, before we continue, that the âmonoâ look can be more than solids, it can be prints, it can be textures or even variations of lengths and colors. The more you make the look your âownâ, the more together you can come off. Okay on to #2.
TWO. A chick bag. I have loads. A coach clutch, two Gucci waist bags, a Kara mini chain bag, a utility belt I wear crossbody, well you get the gist. And guess what? I can pair them with my sweater. Itâs like a seatbelt holding that oversize garment together. It also says, my bag is small, my sweater is big, who am I?
THREE. When all else fails, go for the monochromatic look. Itâs clean, itâll match the sweater and the bag doesnât even matter at this point. An all black look with  matching sweats, jeans, fuck even your exercise leggings. Or a beige look with sweatpants and add some penny loafers. The point is paired with one and two, the world doesnât know where youâre going or where you came from. The look itself is tired, I know. The girl or the guy with the coat and the mono and the chic bag, and they seem so important right? They have places to be and friends to chat with. But this is for the lazy ones, with nowhere to go but a maybe a quick errand or a shoot to style. If you really want to know how to dress, thatâs a different story.Â
