Print clash winter fash

The colder it gets the more I want to wear bright colours & bold prints, with the big chill upon us, let's look how we can style up prints, colours & layers this long winter, No Debutante style. 

My style is quirky, I throw stuff together to see if it works & mostly it does. I do not take my styling too seriously & I often get inspiration from designers & people who are equally as quirky. It makes for a fun world! 

I have been on the look out for printed trousers lately, it is my current obsession. I had some lucky finds at Monki with the polka-dot & striped trousers (see below for these bold printed gems) & today I have resurrected my leopard print leggings (purchased at H&M about 5 years ago). 

Leopard print has been all over the AW 2018 fashion shows but I seriously overdid leopard print a few years back, I ended up with a tonne of leopard print everythings, which then put me off it, too much of a good thing really can be too much! It's been a few years now & I have decided to let leopard print back in to life....just a little.....

No Debutante loves these Monk polka-dot trousers paired up with the Fruit Salad red batwing crop hoodie

Fresh Prints

Hey hey Fashionistas! It's been a busy month for No Debutante, I have met and interviewed Bristol independent Fashion brands True Soldier and the newly opened Recreo for Bristol 24/7, with two more Bristol fashion events coming up in April including the brilliant Fashion Front fashion show and a fashion salvage event with Kecks Clothing for Fashion Revolution Week. Get yourself down to both of these events, No Debutante will be there photographing and documenting whilst interviewing and even helping to judge the fashion salvage competition! Come and join the fashion fun!

No Debutante has also been working on a few projects of her own with local photographers and going back to my fashion designers roots which I am really excited about. Watch this space for more on this.......

What has No Debutante been wearing this April? Still not managing to shake off the tights and layers in this breezy country, I have flooded April with colours and prints to brighten things up! Expect lots of boldly printed shirts, mashed up with sportswear and Dr Martens shoes (my latest treat to myself for working full time). I love to mix smart with sports, try it, it's not as bad as it sounds! 

 Fresh Prints of Bel-air

 Smart Sports- Mixing shirts and Dr Martens with joggers

When colour clashing I like to add a pair of my favourite Tezla earrings, there are so many colours and styles of Tezla to choose from, there is always a pair to suit any outfit!

My bowl cut hairdo, changes colour by the day, how?? I have my bleached hair coloured pink and as I wash it the Crazy Color slowly fades out leaving random sections pink and washing out of other sections. It goes a lovely fruit salad colour, who needs mood enhance hair colours eh? 

I'm still loving Monki's oversized and peplumed dresses, they hang so well and have oversizing just right! I just have to keep going on about them even though I really don't want to big up corporate brands (high street giants H&M own Monki), good styling and cutting just can't be ignored!

Slip dresses, culottes and sportswear will be following me into the summer months, hopefully without so many layers and few more, bare legged opportunities! I'm actually cold whilst I am writing this, come on summer, come and play, spring is being a dick!

 Retro Sports (and bare legs eeeek!)

 Culottes and lots of culottes

All clothing from BTR, Adidas, Reebok, Lazy Oaf, Urban Outfitters, Dr Martens, Tezla Designs,  Topshop, The White Pepper, Monki, Vision Streetwear, Primark and Miss 4ire.

Baggy Trousers

There is so much going on with the way we wear trousers at the moment moving us a million miles away from the safe skinnies of the past ten plus years. The more avant-garde streetstyle fashionistas and designers have been flying the anti-skinny flag for a few years with trousers getting more voluminous and experimental with lengths and prints, but now it looks like the high end fashion designers and even the high street may have come round to the idea that voluminous is good and skinnies are dead! 

The current looks for trousers are so versatile at the moment, whether you are a die hard jeans wearer or not a lover of trousers, the new trousers will surely have something for everyone. 
The love of prints this year from gingham checks, florals, stripes, 80s graphics, fruits and aztecs, appear on all the new shapes, either print clashed up or with a minimal top. If you are not quite ready for the new voluminous shapes in bold prints, try the minimal versions in black, grey and Khaki browns (for the boys), with streetwear, sportsluxe influences. 
There have also been a few examples of sheer trousers lately, you might need to be a layering hero (or over confident) to wear these but an interesting new look none the less. 

The styles that are big this season are baggy and bold, choose from baggy pajama flares, boxy tailored flares, cropped flares, culottes, oversized long shorts, cropped trousers,tapered and high waisted Mom jeans,  jeans cropped above the ankle with a raw hem, tracksuit bottoms (sportsluxed up with heels or turned up at the hem for a new take on sportswear), baggy turned up tailored trousers, elastic hem sportsluxe, and for the very brave, very oversized, turned up trousers (in a print, if you dare).

Fix Up Look Sharp Vs No Debutante

Following the Fix Up Look Sharp AW15 Preview event last month I was very excited to borrow a bag of FULS goodies to dress up No Debutante stylee. For those of you who are not aware FULS are an Independent fashion label based in Bristol, all the garments are made from donated fabrics and clothing into one-of-a-kind fashion pieces to raise funding for CLIC Sargent's vital work with children and young people with cancer.
 
No Debutante loves Fix Up Look Sharps' use of bright prints, colours and unique and voluminous shapes and styles, as I have said before, I love a label that pushes fashion boundaries leaving the more conservative fashions miles behind.  It was an absolute pleasure to style up these Fix Up Look Sharp garments  and I seriously could have carried on styling up the garments for hours, I had such fun with it, print clashing and layering the FULS garments up with my own wardrobe, which seemed to work rather well since these are the exact style of garments that I go for!  In this post the garments are from the SS 2015 range and I will be sharing the No Debutante styled up FULS AW 2015 Preview range very soon. You can preview the AW 2015 range here

There are currently a few collabs under No Debutante's fashionista belt and all will appear on the blog over the next few weeks! Including more from the fun filled Fix Up Look Sharp, Bristols Upcycling queen Helen from Kecks Clothing and the fashion salvage team from Bristol Textiles Recycling. Watch this space!
