What to Wear to a Fashion Show

Q: What outfit would you put together to attend a fashion show?--Stella

A: Great question!  Since fall is right around the corner, it'd be great to play up some of your favorite trends for the upcoming season--leopard print, camel coats, military accents, etc.

--Layering is a great trick to spice up any outfit.  Try pairing a girly, chiffon dress with a cropped print blazer,  In the look below, it's best to have just one statement piece and balance it off with neutral pieces that have interesting textures.  I love this Stella McCartney chiffon dress because it's flowy yet contrasts well with the leopard (trend alert!) blazer.  You can edge it out even more with funky ankle booties or lace-up heels.

--Think minimal, tailored, and fun!  The best way to look your best is to wear classic pieces that fit well to your body.  Adding just a pop of color would make any outfit more interesting and appealing.

In this outfit below, I balanced the outfit with neutral colored bottoms (like these gray harem pants) and a colored fitted blazer or a draped coat.  I love the coat on the right because it's very slouchy and oversized, but the belt cinches your waist to give shape.  This fitted boyfriend blazer is a great touch of color, yet toned down enough for any look you're going for.  Top it off with sleek black heels, a sheer white button-down, and few accessories.  It's all about minimalism right? ;)


--If it's a day-time show, this military-esque outfit would be a good fit.  Throw on a vest with a flouncy neutral top (the bow accent is a great touch), dark distressed denim shorts with sheer black tights.  A fun, embellished clutch and chunky textured heels can dress up the look.

I hope these outfits helped! Don't forget to let me know what you're wearing! ;)
