NYFW Spring 2015 SNAPS

Have you been following along on the Spring 2015 looks at New York Fashion Week? It’s been such a varied display of bright colors and clean lines. Pops of red, orange, and yellow have all found their place on the runway, alongside classic spring staples of black and white stripes. It looks like designers were not shying away from vibrant hues for the upcoming season. There were also a few classic shades of pastels in tonal effects with sophisticated grays and creams to offset them. All in all, the looks have been very inspiring. If you’re ready to get ahead of the curve, take a look at some of the best runway looks in each trend.

FALLTREND: Varsity Jackets

Varsity jackets have a very preppy look and feel but that doesn’t mean preppy looks are the only ones you can create with these chic babies. There are lots of other looks you can achieve using a school varsity jacket. All you really have to do to get some variation is to pair it with different pieces every time.

You can also keep away from the traditional colors and get your hands on printed varsity jackets if you’re looking for a more unique and stylish look. There are also cropped varsity jackets that you can go for on days when you want a more contemporary look. If you have a varsity jacket or two sitting in your closet, check out these ideas on what to wear with a varsity jacket and see how you can make the most out of them.

1. Jeans – if you’re looking for a safe and foolproof way to rock your varsity jacket, simply pair it up with jeans and sneakers and you’re good to go. This outfit combination is a little reminiscent of those days back in school when you had no time to put together an outfit at all and you just grabbed a shirt, put on your jeans and threw a jacket on top. It’s quick, it’s easy, no frill, no fuss, just good ol’ plain and casual chicness. Finish off with heels for a more athletic overall look or wear heels to make it look more girly. To make your outfit more summer-friendly, remember that you can always switch up your jeans with Daisy Dukes.

2. Graphic shirt – for a cool and totally laidback look, wear your varsity jacket with a cute graphic shirt and then maybe pair it with comfy boyfriend jeans. This look is just what you need for a lazy weekend. -

You can also try wearing it with a simple shift dress to create a posh and preppy outfit.  Let me know Lady´s !! xo
