TRENDGUIDE: 50 Shades of Grey Inspired Outfits

50 Shades of Grey – an erotic novel created by E.L. James – is about to hit the silver screen! Due for showing this love month, it features the steamy love story of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. If you are a fan of the novels – and the highly-anticipated movie adaptation – then make sure to try these 50 Shades of Grey fashion ideas.

LACE IT UP

Another way to embody the 50 Shades of Grey fashion – without baring your entire body – is to wear a lacy outfit. This material creates an element of curiosity – with the patches of skin that show through the sheer lace.

WEAR FRINGE

50 Shades of Grey fashion is all about sexiness – and you can channel that vibe (without showing much skin) in a fringy outfit. A fringed crop top or skirt will make any guy’s blood flowing.

GO FOR SATIN

Satin is a shiny fabric reminiscent of bedtime and sweet dreams. In fact, these connotations make satin a great piece for a 50 Shades of Grey fashion-inspired outfit. Since satin comes with much sheen, tone down the sparkle in your bottoms, footwear, and accessories.

DON A BRALETTE

Look sexy and enticing in a beautiful bralette. This simple yet lightweight top can add an element of sexiness to your outfit. Since it shows an ample amount of skin, make sure to wear it with ‘longer’ bottoms, such as pants or a maxi skirt. If you don’t want to wear it alone, wear a sheer topper so you can still make you look sexy – while partially covered.

CHOOSE A CORSET

Like the bralette, a corset is a shapely topper that can make you look sleek and sexy. You don’t necessarily have to skimp your waist to achieve 50 Shades of Grey fashion. With this on, you’ll look sexy, no matter what bottoms you might wear.

How To Wear Fringe

Fringes are something we all so easily associate with summer and this may be because of the fact that fringes are so overly abundant during summer music festivals. Just because that’s the case, though, doesn’t mean you can’t wear fringes in colder seasons like fall and winter. Fringes are definitely more of an all-year rounder, if you ask me. You can wear them on anything at any time of the year. If you’re looking for a way to add more detail and movement to your look, adding fringes is definitely the way to go. Here are our favorite ways to wear fringe beyond summer.

1. Fringe boots – fringe boots are definitely fall and winter material. They’re great for accessorizing your look and for keeping your feet warm at the same time. Fringe boots have a rather strong Western appeal to them. These are not usually the kind of boots you’d want to wear with dressy pieces but with more casual and street style pieces instead. When wearing fringe boots, make sure your pants aren’t bulky or chunky as the combo of fringed boots and baggy/bulky/chunky pants tend to blow off body proportions in a major way.

2. Fringe sweater – sweaters are always in every woman’s fall and winter wardrobe and if you want to sport a unique piece that’s both cute and comfy, a fringed sweater is perfect. Choose sweaters with fringes on areas that you want to highlight and not on areas that you want to downplay as this will just draw more attention to the spot.


3. Fringe cardigan – another cute and comfy way to wear fringes beyond summer is to wear fringed cardigans. Just throw them on top of your skirt and jeans and you’re ready to go. Try not to wear anything else with fringes, though. You wouldn’t want to end up in a hot tangled mess at the most inopportune time.

4. Fringe bag – not very excited about wearing fringed clothing? You don’t have to. Instead, what you can do is to carry a fringed bag. Fringed bags are so versatile. They look summery when worn with summer clothes but they do blend in well with fall clothing as well, especially when it’s in a warm and earthy color.

5. Fringe scarf – if you’re a fan of scarves during the fall and winter months, you might want to give fringed scarves a shot. Fringes on your scarf also help create more movement in your look. They also help create a more interesting texture for your outfit that, in return, makes your outfit look more noticeable and interesting .
