Read on to uncover your inner villian and embrace a style that speaks to your boldest, daring self
Futuristic Vibes
Retro Sunnies with Bug-Eye Frames
The key to nailing this look is by utilising bold colour combinations - think neon green, punk purple, and gothic black, and pairing them with retro bug-eye sunglasses for an instant style boost. The flared corners exude a sultry feline allure. Pair with black hiking shoes for a casual streetwear touch and layer a light-coloured jacket for effortless sophistication. You’ll be turning heads as you strut down the street.
Dark Academia Heiress
Ultra short bottoms with a plaid blazer
The main component of the Dark Academia trend is its darker palette, which includes maroon, burgundy, brown and forest green. These colours and shades align with the autumn weather seamlessly.
A tailored plaid blazer layered over a crisp shirt, complemented by a striking red bag, epitomizes the must-have trends for Autumn/Winter 2024. The ultra-short bottoms paired with leather flats create a striking contrast. This ensemble captures a beautifully rebellious spirit that merges edginess with refined elegance.
The Everyday Wasteland Aesthetic
Artistic on top and vagabond on the bottom
Opt for an asymmetrical design on top, paired with a structured denim jacket and a romantic lace satin skirt to create an artful layered effect. Take your Halloween up a notch with a spacious tote adorned with your favourite bag charms. The more complex the combination, the better it captures a spirit of rebellion, whimsy, and the dynamic clash of elements, making it all the more stylish.
Romantic Minimalist Gothic Punk Aesthetic
Dark Couple Styling
You can never go wrong with an all-black ensemble paired with boots featuring form-fitting lace tops, sheer fabrics, and soft materials, that bring a welcoming touch to gothic style. This fusion of dark romance and gothic punk crafts an enchanting dark fairy tale for couples, exuding both mystery and allure.
Men in Skirts with a Street Style Touch
The Art of Layering Skirt Pants
Skirts for men are already mainstream – just look at celebrities like Oscar Issac, A$AP Rocky, and more. Layer a striped shirt over a classic white tee, and pair loose-fitting trousers with a skirt for a more dynamic look. Complete the ensemble with a spacious metallic chain bag and street-style inspired kicks to enhance the depth of the oversized silhouette. The sophisticated stripes and flowy skirt challenge traditional norms, effortlessly creating a bold contrast.
