Return of the Trouser Suit & Peplums


This fall, Prada have sent models down the runway sporting the new trouser suit combo, complete with cinched waists, geometric patterns & printed bags to match... I absolutely love this collection, androgyny always appealed to me because I love the cutting edge look, the sleek, tailored designs & or me, the trouser suit is just the epitome of androgynous chic. This fall head back to work, or to play in a printed jacket/blazer or pair a simple crop tee with printed trousers & bold accessories.
Prada has been working the peplums, dramatic silhouettes & the all things Asian (the Kimono styled jackets) Absolutely love it!
Houndstooth print also appears to be back, rearing it's head in the form of structured tops & pencil skirts!

The trouser suit took on a sexier form in Jason Wu's Fall collection, sporting a formal jacket with a matching high waisted short combo & embellished collared shirts. 



Here's a set I created on Polyvore showing the simplistic elegance of the trouser suit. When accessorised you can create a more effeminate, elegant look or pair it with two toned brogues to create a more edgy, androgynous look. However you wear it, add some vintage styled sunglasses & you are good to go! If it's good enough for Prada, it's good enough for us!


Return of the Trouser Suit




Cinched waists are not the only trend that is trying to accentuate the female form. Peplums are here to create the hips some of us may not have & to hide the tummies some of us may unfortunately possess, they're here to stay & have been here since 2010!
Peplums have been heavily featured on many a runway this year including, Salvatore Ferragamo, Bottega Veneta & Emporio Armani  for example in their Fall collection's. I especially loved Bottega Veneta's take on the Peplum. It's very gothic & romantic, & if you didn't know I'm very big on velvets, black's, wines, navy's, highnecklines, chiffon & lace, usually floor length & modest. I'm very dark when it comes to fashion so this take on the peplum really appealed to me! (Middle)
