STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Extra Long, Please

January 28th, 2015 at 2:10am

No matter what store you go into, oversized clothing is all over the market. From cotton shirts to shift dresses, Fashionistas and Fashionistos are buying their basics two sizes too big on purpose. Can’t get enough of the oversized trend? Try something new with the extra long trend. Recently, hemlines have been growing by the minute and sweaters are no exception. I saw this Fashionista walking to class and her bohemian style immediately caught my eye. Her extra long cardigan with a long striped shirt and African-inspired necklace is the perfect outfit for class or a day out on campus. ASOS has a lot of clothing to inspire this trend. This cable knit sweater is gorgeous and even has a side slits for some added detail.

This winter season expect super long and shapeless silhouettes when it comes to skirts and dresses as well. Say goodbye to the mini and hello to the maxi with this knit dress from Free People. This piece is amazing and on-trend with the extra long look for future seasons. For winter, pair with tights and your favorite booties. For spring try your favorite pair of brown wedges and some sunglasses. Speaking of sunglasses, this Fashionista’s John Lennon-inspired glasses are so ’60s. Get a similar pair or even try this style with regular lenses for a twist on the typical personality specs.

When it comes to jewelry, this outfit could not do without. This vintage necklace completes the elongated look with African beads and a big pendant. Free People has amazing accessories similar to her look, like this coin pendant. No matter what style you want to rock, incorporate the extra long look in your next outfit.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Comfort is key. When dressing for the day, I always try to incorporate something comfortable and cute. That’s why I love this extra long sweater.”
