So over the past year or more, while shamelessly trolling sites like Lookbook and Chictopia, I've noticed a trend that I'm not really into. Think BLACK, leggings, tights or skinny jeans, with sky-high strappy platformy type shoes, a leather jacket or blazer, and usually some sort of Alexander Wang-esque t-shirt. Maybe there's a dress or two thrown in there or some sort of crazy shoulder pad, but it's all black and it all blends together in my mind. I WANT TO SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
I'm not opposed to any of these items on their own, but all together all I can think of is a bunch of fashion robots taking themselves too seriously. I don't want to cite any examples because I don't think it would be fair to single anyone out.
Instead I've decide to show off some favorite photos from The Sartorialist to show some quirky, yet not at all unwearable alternatives to the black sheepwear of today (yes I realize many of them have a menswear bent, but hey, we all go through phases right?).
