How to Wear Cowboy Boots!

If you don’t already own a good pair of cowboy boots, after reading this post you may understand why we think this classic shoe silhouette is a MUST-have for all fashion girls!!! We love this shoe for it’s wearability throughout every season. It adds just the right hint of flair to a t-shirt and jeans, yet playfully pulls dresses into the casual territory. Here are four ways we’re styling this closet-essential for Fall!

Pair it With Your Dress

Transform your summer maxi dresses and slip dresses by switching the sandals for boots as a transitional outfit while the weather cools down. Button up dresses with boots are great for casual work at the office, from home or over Zoom!

The Oversized Blazer

We love how an oversized blazer brings outrageous proportions to the already angular cowboy boot.

The Sneaker Upgrade

Swap your sneakers with boots for a chic upgrade to your everyday. Pair with this season’s straight leg jeans, or use this combo to revive your skinny jeans!

The Casual Date Night

Alternative skirts like denim or printed slip skirts create an eclectic yet fun look for a day off or date night! Casual yet put-together cowboy boots will allow for walks in the park, dinners outside and so much more!

You’ll know just what outfit to wear for the next holiday party with our ideas on how to wear glitter and metallics. Whether you prefer subtle shine or bold sparkle – we have looks that cover anything from casual outings with friends to office party mingling, and even the most fabulous nighttime soirées!

GLITTER & SHINE SKIRTS:

The outfit possibilities are endless when it comes to shiny statement skirts! Match a sequin pencil skirt with a sweater and boots for an easy-wear outfit to the office party, or pair metallic pleats with a leather jacket, tee and white sneakers for an easy weekend look. We love the idea of pairing a sparkling skirt with muted colors and neutrals for impressive contrast.

Shop Skirts:

GLITTER & SHINE PANTS:

Pants that shine possess an ability to give two distinct moods: Go sophisticated with a white blouse or simple sweater, or go full rocker chic with feathers, fur or fringe!

Shop Pants:

GLITTER & SHINE TOPS:

We love a glitter cami layered over a mesh top or under a blazer! Sparkly tops also look great with simple black jeans or muted leather leggings.

Shop Tops:

GLITTER & SHINE BLAZERS:

Layer a glitter blazer over a tee and leather pants or a mini dress for nights out!

Shop Blazers:

GLITTER & SHINE EVENING:

Embrace glitz and glamour with the all-out elegance of a sequin jumpsuit or dress!!! For more stunning metallic and sparkle evening wear, check out our post on Galvan.

GLITTER & SHINE ACCESSORIES:

Styling The Wide Leg Jean for Fall

You’ve seen wide leg jeans last throughout the sunny days of 2019, but how do you transform this airy silhouette from summer to fall? The answer is within how you style your pieces! Playing with heavyweight sweaters, ankle boots and layering are key to transforming this still trending pant to the chilly months ahead.

The Chunky Sweater

Pair your wide leg jeans with a chunky sweater. Break up the bulkiness by tucking a part of your top piece at the waist, and pair the outfit with ankle boots or sneakers!!

The Oversized Blazer

We LOVE how the oversized blazer adds flattering movement to the outward silhouette of wide leg jeans. Pair these pieces with a basic long sleeve, tee or blouse and add ankle boots, heels or heeled mules.

The Outer Layer

Whether it’s a trench, teddy bear sherpa or thick coatigan, use your outer piece to add weight and movement. Complete the outfit with a shoe that adds femininity through shine, chic silhouette or statement color. We love ankle boots or heels with this look!

Here are six outfits you should be wearing this fall, and how you can shop your closet to mix-&-match the old with the new for on-trend sustainable style!

Update your wardrobe for fall! Contact Meg or check out her styling services here.

Modernize the Skinny

The world of fashion may have pushed skinnies to the side in favor of looser cuts (see our post on the jeans we’re seeing everywhere), but this alternative skinny styling brings the once-loved cut back to relevance. Knee highs, an oversized blazer and simple shirt such as the classic white tee are a winning combination. Simple, effective and updated.

The Accessory Boot, The Neutral Palette

Pull together your browns, creams, whites and blacks (bonus if you mix in any leather)! Neutral coats and dusters create the perfect frame for an accessory boot.

Fall Plaids, High Waisted Trousers & the Plunge Neck Top

High waisted trousers are still going strong through the end of the year. Mix with fall-friendly plaid and you’re right for the season! Jenny Walton shows us how it’s done by pairing her trousers with a ribbed wool cut-out top. Don’t have a top like Jenny’s? Show just the right amount of skin with an untied pussybow blouse.

The Wrap Blazer, Pairing Monochrome

Wrap-style blazers bring a delicately luxe, effortless alternative to the monochrome power suit. We love the ease of this ensemble when paired with a silk cami! Don’t have a wrap blazer? Try cinching your blazer with a belt that hangs down for that coveted “wrap effect”, like so:

Pleats on Repeat

We can riff off of pleated skirts all day, but the combination to pay attention to this fall is right here: Pleats and knee high boots. On-trend pairings include an accessory chain belt and intentional textural layers like a ruffled white high-neck.

Chic Layers

Tuck a midweight sweater into trousers and throw on an oversized wool coat! Keep your pieces neutral and pair with sleek ankle boots.

Jerry Lorenzo (Los Angeles designer) founded Fear of God in 2013, rising to streetwear status symbol via the coolest sneakers in today’s market, and his unique take on “sophisticated yet low-key basics” (as described in his SSENSE Biography).

“It’s a brand that represents stuff I like. God happens to be one of those things,” Lorenzo reported to The Cut. The clothes are heavily influenced by references Lorenzo was exposed to as a child. Some religious, and some notably in pop culture. Figures like Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, John Bender from The Breakfast Club, and NBA’s Allen Iverson are on Lorenzo’s list of inspiration.

Popular with celebrities and especially the NBA, Lorenzo went so far as to appease his admirers with an innovative NIKE collaboration, producing a highly sought after collection of on- and off-court gear, which released this past December.

Unassuming easy-wear layers, cult favorite side-zip hoodies and sneakers that never disappoint are what champion Lorenzo’s triumphant mark in menswear. See our list of Fear of God’s most essential shoes below!

We’ve broken down the three most common Summer Weddings and how to dress for each occasion!

Need help styling your summer wedding look? Contact Meg or check out her styling services here.

Country & Garden Wedding
This is the homey and intimate outdoor wedding where terrain is key. For women, try an airy sundress with a flat, sandal or wedge. Avoid heels that will sink into grass! For men, a sharp button up and pant with a casual shoe is ideal.

The Country-Garden Edit:

Destination Wedding
This wedding is untraditional yet sophisticated, so go with pieces that balance on relaxed and refined! For women, this can mean wearing a sexy spaghetti strap dress that flows with the breeze, or a relaxed jumpsuit with a plunging neckline! Aim for a strappy heel, or a delicate sandal if the wedding is on sand. For men, try a suit or sport coat and pants. Leave the collar open and skip the tie.

The Destination Edit:

Cocktail Wedding
This wedding’s dress-code is heavily dictated by time of day. The later a ceremony begins, the dressier your outfit should be. For women, wear a party dress and heels. Steer clear of floor length gowns, but feel free to play with length and luxurious fabrics. For men, wear a suit or expressive sportcoat. We have a more extensive guide to cocktail dresses here!
