Buenos Aires – Style Heritage, Style Destination
How to wear animal prints.
Admittedly, animal prints aren’t for everybody. If you feel they’re too overpowering, there’s no reason why you should wear them.
But I think that anyone can pull off the animal print trend, if done in small doses – accessories such as a belt or a small bag add enough edge to, say, black pants and a solid top, without overwhelming the rest of your look.
If your style is more daring and playful, go for it in leopard pattern dresses and furry coats!
Animal print style tip:
Animal print + neutral colors + a dash of red
For example, animal print shoes and bag, with jeans/black pants, a white/off-white top, and a red scarf.
Platforms
Solid and with heels, chunky rubber platforms are everywhere.
They are versatile, comfortable, go with almost everything, and they are particularly suitable for those of us who want to add some height without compromising our backs!
They come in all forms – platform boots, platform laced shoes, platform sandals – and in black and trendy colors – gold, pastel and, of course, animal prints!!!!
How can you wear platforms?
Your shoes should always be in harmony with the rest of your outfit. Wear platforms with jeans, with narrow or cropped pants, and since they elongate your legs, you have more leeway to build your outfit (longer dresses!)
When choosing the accessories and clothes to go with them, always remember that the ensemble should flatter your figure.
Platform style tip
Bootie platforms + jean + top with flair
For example, wear black bootie platforms with skinny/straight jeans (depending on body type) and add a striped shirt with a trench coat for a complete smart look.
