STYLE GURU STYLE: Urban Edge

July 13th, 2015 at 2:10am

Mesh detailing and pops of color with an urban edge…what better way to describe Alexander Wang’s designs, especially his spring 2015 ready-to-wear collection. I love the fact that he is always using elements in his designs that are youthful, a little off-the-wall and comfortable enough for someone to actually wear off the runway. Many of his designs include mesh and jersey that have a very sporty-chic look. He also styles many of his outfits with sneakers and other flat shoes. Although there is usually a lot of black and white in his collections, this one featured quite a few pops of bright colors, especially blue.

This runway show inspired me because I am obsessed with bright colors and sneakers. I love to look edgy and fashionable while still being comfortable. When I found this T-shirt dress with the athletic numbers, floral print and mesh strips, I knew I had to have it for the summer. I paired it with my classic high-top, black Converse sneakers and some bright blue lipstick for fun. It was a little risky, but that’s the best part about fashion in my opinion!

I love T-shirt dresses this season because they are so comfortable and cute! You can easily pair them with almost any shoes or accessories depending on what look you are going for. When trying to pull off an urban glam look (which is probably my favorite), Alexander Wang is almost always a good source of inspiration. Remember that looks like this are all about taking risks, adding some mesh or leather and being confident while you cause a scene.
