Textiles and Textures

one of my favorite ways to create an interesting and fashion forward outfit is to mix different textiles and different textures.
 
this helps to create variety and interest, therefore something fashionable. take it to the next level, instead of a plain cotton t-shirt and jeans.
 
so heres what I would wear.
 
 
 
Outfit 1. Chiffon and a Nubby Knit
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This outfit is perfect for a day trip to the city. The Chiffon skirt is breezy and pretty and pairs nicely with a silky tank. For an extra layer and some texture pair a nubby oversized sweater in a neutral color. For a finishing touch add gold accessories to complement the rest of the color in this outfit. Its a casual cool look thats put together, but laidback.
 
 
 
Outfit 2. Leather and Denim
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
this outfit might not be for everyone, but if you're willing to experiment with color, texture and styles then this is perfect. start with a great layering piece like a chambray shirt, its a simple basic silhouette, layer a thing textured leather jacket over for a chic look. a chartreuse lace circle skirt adds a bright pop of color and textural interest. finish off with neutral accessories like a statement necklace, and a simple pair of flats.
 
 
 
Outfit 3. Coated Denim and Print
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 




this outfit is simple and chic, but totally interesting. the leather pants are actually jeans with a coating. so you get the comfort and the style, and the pretty jade color is a change from black. pair it with a sleeveless printed button down and tuck your shirt in and add a cute belt. finish your look off with dark brown accessories like a pair of ankle boots and a tortoise shell watch. tres chic!




I hope you enjoyed and found inspiration to add texture to your outfits!

Much Love <3
