THE BULLETIN - 11 - December 2015
Fashion is often predicated on originality. Shock factor and the ensuing oh-I-need-it feeling is, youd think, the result of something new. But what about the trends so damn good, we cant give them up after one season? Were not talk-ing timeless staplesscrew diamonds, a crisp white silk shirt is forever. Unless you spill wine on it. Then its not.
Were talking about the trendy pieces that you worry wont work in a few years, but invest in anyway. And then we just so happen to love them so much that we reuse, recycle, and repeat. Read on for four trends so alluring that we just cant let go.
Adidas Stan Smiths and SuperstarsStarting around last spring Adidas Su-
perstars and Stan Smiths under-went a major revival. Although
the traditional white Su-perstars with the black
3-stripe and the clas-sic green-accented Stan Smiths are
by far the most popu-lar, featured collabs ddefinitely gave these sneakers a dynamic edge. The sneaker world nearly imploded with Phar-rells Supercolor Superstar collection, featuring 50 hues that spanned the rainbows spectrum, individually monochrome on the classic silhouette. Raf Simons also did a few monochrome renditions of the Stan Smith, swapping the the 3-stripe for a per-forated R; the collabs standouts were the beige and the metal-lic versions. These kicks can be easily adopted into your ward-robe, especially if you choose to cop the traditional versions, just swap them in for those Chuck Taylors youve been wearing since middle school.
The A-Line SkirtThese adorable minis are a definite nod to the 70s, but please do not feel obligated to pair them with ruffled peasant tops or calf length go-go bootsjust dont do it. The A-line skirt is best paired with toned-down tops, like a black mock-neck or a simple tee, tucked in. Whats nice about the a-line mini is that
it becomes the centerpiece of your look; many retailers are of-fering them with a combination of front buttons and oversized pockets, made in denim, cord, or patch-work fabrics. S i n c e these skirts are so popular you can find them for pretty cheap.
The Dad HatThe name may catch you off guard, but there is nothing quite as cool these days as a classic cap, like the kind your dad has with his favorite sports team on it. Honestly any old cap will do, go dig through your closet and find the ones you tucked away during the Trucker Hat a n d Snapback epidemics. Random logos and designs are all game, but feel free to cop a cap from OVO Store or Nike for added dopeness. The Dad hat is perfect for your bummy days, so pair them with leggings/tailored sweats and cool outerwear to achieve the lazy-cool aesthetic.
Bomber JacketsBombers first made their appearance in the 1940s as functional, warm outerwear for aviators in World War II. Many of them were made in leather, accented with fur collars, however with military revision, bombers began to appear how we commonly imagine them today. The classic sage green color used for this outerwear was originally purposed for effective camouflage during the Viet-nam War, and the bright orange lining was so the jackets could be turned inside-out for rescue visibility. With time these jackets were replicated and adopted into everyday wear; bombers are now available in any color, but dark greens, maroons, and navies are ideal for fall/winter dressing. Take a note from Kylie Jenner, (perhaps this should be the only note), and pair your jacket with a simple crop top and ripped jeans to achieve the sporty-styled look.
