STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Boho Backpacks

February 17th, 2015 at 2:00am

It’s no doubt that a backpack that’s both comfortable and large enough for your schoolwork can cramp your style. With that being said, one must do their research for a stylish backpack that fits these criteria.

Lately, I have been swooning over Aztec print and bohemian fashion on the runway. The latest Balmain resort 2015 show emphasized a mix of colorful beaded fabrics, tribal prints and bohemian style ponchos.

Creative director, Olivier Rousteing, said that a recent trip to L.A. sparked his creativity where he felt like the natives were “embracing fashion.” Rousteings’ collection is a mixture of wild and free prints with different beaded textures and bohemian prints. The designs represent multi-ethnic cultures and diversity.

This Fashionista takes a minimal approach on the latest trend with a blush cardigan layered over a gray T-shirt and black leggings. She complements her look with a classic pair of white Converse All-Stars and gold Ray-Ban Aviator Classics. However, her bold purple, rust and turquoise Aztec print backpack is what catches the eye, and adds flair to the Fashionista’s look.

Many different styles are available for those Fashionistas/os who want to incorporate this staple print and item into their wardrobe but aren’t exactly sure what they want. Aztec prints range in styles and colors from bright and graphic to black and white.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Definitely neutral colors! Neutrals, like browns, blacks and grays, will make the Aztec print and color stand out. This makes it easier for everyone to see!”
