STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: The Pussy-Bow Blouse Is Back

With a heavy heart I must admit that fall is right around the corner, and the beginning of a new academic year is approaching us at the speed of light. What does this means in terms of students’ wardrobe? On any campus as cold as the ones in England, it means a return to wearing as many layers of clothes as possible and a great comeback of classy coats and knitted scarves. English autumn is a marvellous opportunity to express your own style and show your flair for combining not only alluring outfits, but also practical ones.

This Fashionista put an amazing fall outfit together inspired by one of the major trends presented on the Gucci catwalk—the pussy bow blouse. This top is not just about a Margaret Thatcher primness, it’s about bringing a lightness to your standard outfit and adding a touch of femininity to the most usual ensembles. The floral printed pussy bow blouse and white ripped jeans gives a casual edgy feel to this stylish combination. To pull it together, she wore a gray woollen coat and accessorizes it with a delicate gold bracelet and ring. A large black clutch is the perfect finishing touch to the outfit while it fits all her needed items. Additionally, her flatform trainers make this look comfortable and casual all at the same time.

What I find really attractive about this look is its versatility. Thanks to keeping a balance between elegant and casual wear, she can achieve an effortless look that will be suitable for a day full of lectures and meetings with friends. The practical side of this outfit makes it possible to incorporate the newest fashion trend into our new fall wardrobe without any unnecessary sacrifices.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Use autumn to experiment with your outfits. Try to play around with colors; for example, create combinations of white, burgundy and mustard. But don’t forget to add some gold or silver to make your outfit stand out from the crowd.”
