STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: '90s Inspired Layers

December 28th, 2016 at 2:06am

In Los Angeles, there’re no such thing as seasons. Even in the mid weeks of November, in LA the temperature is at an all time high. As a southern Californian I’ve experienced no snow, little rain and mostly sunshine. But hey, I’m okay with that. We take pride in embracing California’s wild child, summer like falls and winters. And we do it with style, much like Kaitlyn does. On a sunny Monday afternoon I spotted her homage to the ’90s grunge style of T-shirts and slip dresses. A darling trend that poster children like Drew Barrymore and Christina Applegate made popular in the ’90s, and it’s popular yet again today. Kaitlyn complements the trend in wayfarer sunglasses, paired with vintage stye ankle boots, her tattoos prominently becoming the perfect fashion accessory.

Shake up this trend by starting with a satin, patterned or velvet slip dress and pair it with the T-shirt of your choice; go striped, graphic or even long sleeved! Kaitlyn’s ankle boots are the perfect harmony. You can never go wrong with a classic pair of converse, but adopting this look as a current trend definitely includes a cute pair of over-the-knee heeled boots. Yes, LA gets very few cold days during winter, but if the weather in your neck of the woods calls for more layering, play around with pairing a few of your favorite skinny or straight fit denim jeans. If you own a skirt with a laced or ruffled hem try wearing it under your slip dress to expose that detail. This will give your dress a whole new look! Don’t forget to accessorize in true ’90s fashion, which means chokers. Make it simple with the classic tattoo style or layer a few dainty chains with a lace or jeweled chocker. Voila! ’90s babies, your dreams await!
