Style Aria lists down ten outfits that should be traditional misfits when worn together but actually work well when styled right!
1. Denim + Denim – This head-to-toe denim look should, in theory, be extremely monotonous and boring. But, we think it works! It’s perfect for people with petite body types, as it creates a silhouette with no broken lines and gives the illusion of height. The trick is to pick out a shirt in a lighter weight fabric so that you don’t end up looking like a rodeo! Click HERE to know how to rock this look.
2. Dungarees + Crop Top – This 90s revival look works great for people who are uncomfortable wearing crop tops, or have a bulging tummy. Showing just a hint of midriff on the sides, its great for a lazy weekend about town.
3. Denim Shirt + Maxi Skirt – Another blast from the past, this 90’s inspired “denim shirt and maxi skirt” look is the perfect mix of girly and tomboy! This outfit is the absolute perfect choice for a casual day out with friends.
4. Flannel Shirt + Leather Skirt – This combo works well because it tones down the edgy and turns up the casual. You’ll look no less than a chic fashion editor, especially if you pair a loosely fitted flannel shirt with a pencil skirt in leather or faux leather.
5. Formal Shirt with Pleated Leather Skirt – This versatile outfit pair up is so great because the playful and glam leather skirt with heat-set pleats breaks the monotony of the classic white formal shirt.
6. Graphic Tee + Pencil Skirt – Simple yet chic, this look brings together two styles that are on different ends of the style spectrum – the uber casual and easy graphic tee worn together with the classic formal pencil skirt. Throw on a crisp blazer for a work lunch look that’s on fleek.
7. Kurti + Palazzo Pants – This is an outfit with a twist. Kurti is a loose-fitted tunic top that’s usually worn with leggings or salwars. Palazzos are usually paired with crop tops or tucked in shirts. Put them together, and they, in theory should clash horribly. But, surprisingly, they cut quite a good picture styled together.
8. Print + Print – Styling one print with another would, in an unimaginative mind, create a mess and would take away from the impact. But, if done right, one print can complement another print in perfect harmony! To wear print on print right, pick one bold print and the other in small, fine print.
9. Socks + Heels – Another odd trend that was very popular in the 90s, thanks to the cult movie Clueless, earned its reputation as a preppy style. Wear knee high socks with heels, Taylor Swift style, to give your mini skirt a prim, proper and preppy look.
10. Graphic Tee + Tulle Skirt + Crisp Blazer – As far as odd outfit pair ups go, this one really takes the cake. Casual, girly and formal all rolled into one makes a versatile outfit that works great for day and night!
