Fast forward to the fall and winter seasons for a trend that'll keep you stylish and warm. Gloves covered hands in everything from leathers to satins to knits and were embellished with studs, stones, bows , bangles and more.
Downtown edge comes by way of fingerless gloves as shown by Koi Suwannagate. Urban Outfitters has two options: Deena & Ozzy's perfortated version which comes in black and cobalt blue or a bow trimmed wrist in red or gray.
Add a little luxe to your look with a longer pair as shown at Nina Ricci and Just Cavalli. Try Searle's long, silk-lined rouched leather gloves for a more sophisticated edge.
What's better than shopping designer sales? Not much, you say? We agree. It's exhilerating to snag a trendy piece you've coveted since it's day on the runway. But, what's even more gratifying is to find contemporary pieces that work wth many items in your wardrobe and through several seasons.
We stalked the categories at our newest favorite designer outlet, theOutnet.com to find exactly these kinds of pieces. Everything in our virtual shopping bag was chosen to be styled and worn together. And the most exciting part is that each item is on sale under $100.
We'll admit right away we're on the fence with this one. While we do love the inspiration menswear has provided - the alluring way trouser pants fall over the curve of the hips, a button down playing peek-a-boo with the neckline and cleavage or the way an oversized watch falls around a slender wrist-t his is one trend we've yet to indulge.
As shown by our trend adventurers this look is not easily achieved and therefore not at all for the faint of style. However, it can be a very chic look if you keep your apparel simple--smooth, clean lines (dodging any and all unnecessary bagginess) on classic pieces letting your bow tie be the bold stand out accessory. The key is to avoid being too formal by keeping it fun with colors or prints.
A hot little bootie is a seasonal must. The edgier the better. Alexander McQueen's grommet bootie is perfect whether paired with skinny jeans--as seen on Mischa Barton--or with a cute mini dress or skirt.
If your style benjamins don't quite stretch that far bebe's 'Belinda' slingback grommet booties are an exceptionally stylish alternative--with silver instead of gold grommets--making perfect sense of your style and monetary needs.
style is so personal . . . it is a visual extension of thoughts, feelings and moods, which is why it can change ever so subtly or in the most grandeur fashion and, when it is genuine, can never truly be wrong.
