How to wear your metallic trench

I attended night 1 of SA menswear fashion week in Cape Town this evening and it was excellent. Some of my favourite designers showcased, inclusive of ALC Man, Magents, Issa Leo, just to name  few.

So what did I wear? Of course I had to be on trend! Actually - I wore 3 trends in one outfit! Yes, 3!!


Trend 1 - Metallics!

Metallic silver is huge! I played it down with a darker silver (pewter) to give it a more sophisticated feel.

Trend 2 - The Trench!

This classic trend is here to stay. Mine is a more feminine version with puffed sleeves ans ruched waist, to soften my boyish frame.



 Trend 3 - The ruffled hem!

A continuation of this trend from dresses and skirts into coats! I love how feminine it is!

If you don't mind the extra edge, add the 4th trend - fishnets! 
Whoopa!!! 
Ps - My 'on trend coat' is 10 years old!! Yes - I love recycling!

Coat - Primark
Heels - Identity
Shopper bag - Forever 21

I especially love these ones because it has the pleats which adds some fullness to the bust and the flare hides the hip, but still gives you gorgeous femininity! Another variation of this style is the one above with the triangular contrast insets. It boadens the shoulders and shows off your slim waist. Beware however, if you have a fuller waist of course! Make sure that you wear a length that is right for you - this one would have been perfect, just above - or below the knee! Don't be afraid of a chinced waist and some pleating on the waitline! This will cover th...

Beauty unveiled

Women often feel pressurised in believing that true beauty is what is depicted in fashion magazines, the latest cosmetic ads, or the standards created by global trends.
