Head to toe in green, smart casual

If you can, wouldn’t you want to have a wardrobe that works for almost every occasion? Such versatility is what we call „smart casual“. Originally the term has been described in 1924 as a “sleeveless dress with three-quarter overblouses, in smock appearance completing it for streetwear.” – that women’s look, a mix of chic and office attire is similar to what we now consider smart casual.

This style, or in other words an elegant-and-meanwhile-sporty style, is one of my favourites. I love the comfortable feeling, while still combined with elegance – it makes the perfect match – just like this simple, all in green outfit.

I matched basic green casual leggings with an elegant green MONKI flower shirt and topped the outfit with a pair of sporty Nike sneakers and socks – unusual, but different and eye-catching. So try to be outstanding and different, be happy and sexy, be yourself in a fashionway.

What a way to start April

The spring is just around the corner, but not quite yet and on the 1st of April in Vienna it is like winter. After the long winter I can’t wait to welcome the spring and to put the coats away, but even though the astronomical spring is already here, it’s still cold like a sweater time. Still, I have put away from my wardrobe my thick sweaters and left only couple of jackets, hoping those are the last days of the coat season.

One of my favorite looks at this time of the year is fake leather pants with a simple sweatshirt and a warm coat. For this outfit I chose white cream Zara fake leather leggings with a cool Pull & Bear sweatshirt and topped them with a matching Burberry rain-friendly Jacket, MONKI teddy coat, Bershka boots and a Zara cute bag, all in cream in a fashionway.

Head to toe Colorful

The spring 2022 trends will give us some of the boldest colors yet – from hot pink and orange neon green to sky blue. When it comes to being colorful, you’re going to see outfits in head-to-toe colors this spring. That doesn’t mean that an outfit has to be of several different colors – it could also be in shades of pink, white, green, or all pastels. Colorful or monochrome – either way the coming spring/summer season is not going to be boring.

In line with that, the winter coming to an end I tried to add some colors to my wardrobe and made this outfit, matching pink, orange, green and sky blue. I went for an orange Zara sweater, a pink jacket, blue Zara jeans, a green Zara bag and beret, lovely MONKI socks and Love Moschino sneakers.

Winter white with a pop of pink and black

I always associate the winter with the white color and maybe that’s the reason why most of my winter clothes are in this color. But not only white, of course – one tone would be too boring. It’s one good tip I can give you – keep the most of the outfit in one main color and add a pop of secondary ones.

Obviously in this outfit of mine the main color is white with a pop of pink and black. It consists of my great 2-piece winter jacket – white and pink, THE NORTH FACE pink beanie, a great Chiara Ferragni white logo hoodie, a black sweet little Kenzo bag, a fake leather Calzedonia pants, a pair of nice matching Love Moschino sneakers, black & white LOVE MONKI socks and cool fingerless black OVS gloves – everything matched in a fashionway.

Checkerboard print

Since the start of the Corona pandemic in 2020 we have seen so many aspects of our lives change – our day to day life, our ability to see friends and family and how we work. And of course, the lockdowns have changed fashion from how we see it to how we buy it. Me for instance – I started favouring the more comfortable every day clothes and buying many things online thus missing the enjoyment of the the real shopping activity. Somehow life started looking like a black & white photo – lacking variety… Or like chess, where we have to do only certain moves. In that line of thought, the checkerboard print, which is very trendy and almost everywhere now, fits perfectly to that fashion and I like it. I found these checkerboard wide leg relaxed fit jeans and a fluffy Jacket by MONKI and matched them with cream Bershka boots and a small Pimki bag, in a fashionway.

Combat boots season

Combat boots are characterised by their particularly chunky soles and their striking profile. These wind and weatherproof shoes, which are also really comfortable, have their place especially in the transition period and on cold days. Although combat boots were originally designed for the battlefield a long time ago – we no longer go into battle with them, but we can certainly still engage in a fashionable contest.

I am showing you today a comfortable, practical and stylish feel-good outfit. I wear the black boots with trendy Bershka jogging pants and a short Zara black top. In addition a black faux leather Jacket and a small black MONKI bag.

Basically, the rough boots go with any imaginable outfit combinations. As always, it depends on your own taste and wardrobe. I particularly like outfits with joggers, mini skirts, oversized shirts with sweaters. I even like to combine combat boots with dresses because the rough shoes are ideal for style breaks – boots with nice, elegant dresses for example!

Oversized blazer with biker shorts

I am obsessed with the elegant street style fashion and the bike shorts are one of my favorite must haves. Beige and black are my colors for the bike shorts and here I show you an outfit in „color on color“. I matched the beige shorts with a cream-beige Zara short top and a cream-beige H&M blazer. The accents are the accessories – a brown Monki bag and a pair of black Monki combo boots.

Green overall

The summer green to autumn gold – the grass is no longer green, but some of my outfits are still in green, as the green is one of the colors you’ll see everywhere in autumn/winter 2021. The mix of elegant and street style trend is my favorite – so, this outfit matches that – the nice Bershka overall with stylish Zara bag and rough white Bershka sneakers with matching Monki socks.

I always prefer wearing brighter and more joyful colors even if the weather is saying otherwise, simply because it cheers me and those around me, up. Not to mention this season there’s an abundance of mood-boosting highlighter brights to sink your teeth into.

Designers such as Versace, Prada, Molly Goddard, Jill Sander, Nina Ricci, Miu Miu, Stand Studio, Ganni and countless more embraced bold hues like green for this autumn/winter.

Transparent dresses

The spring/summer season 2021 brought a lot of fashion trends but there is a very popular and eye catching one that is here for some time now – the transparent dresses. This is a relatively new trend, carefully crafted by stylists and designers and represented by many models.

This clothing made of luminous thin fabrics is perfect for the lovers of evening looks – elegant styles were developed for them, mostly floor-length. The dresses can be completely made of translucent fabric, with or without lining, with individual elements or inserts of the material. And this style is not only formal – transparent dresses are also nice for the everyday and can be successfully worn in hot weather or for a walk. It is such an outfit that I want to show you today – this MONKI light pink dress, matched with black Calzedonia underwear, Bershka strappy sandals and a small cute black H&M bag.

White, cream white and pastel

I like playing with colors and matching closely similar colors – the mix of white color with cream and pastel is unusual, but eye-catching and modern.

It is the changing spring/summer weather that motivated me to make this outfit. A nice white top is always classy and of course, matched with jeans, even double classy. I found this pastel jeans at Pimkie and and the top at Zara. I topped this classy combination with a cream H&M summer blazer. The gentle hint coming from the cute black MONKI bag, matched with the black&white shoes, balances the whole outfit in a fashionway.
