got neo-grunge?
H&M has a fun, cheery illustrated moodboard of the Fall fashion trends at HM.com. Their layered-knit Neo-Grunge look is an especially cozy way to face falling temperatures, with various parts of uniforms (blazers, especially), sportswear, knits of every kind - all combined in a casual but bohemian manner.
Some affordable ways to Neo-Grunge up your wardrobe:
You no doubt already have many of the many components, like knits & scarves, so just toss in a few add-ons to hop on the trend & bundle up - without spending a bundle:
- snuggly sweater & matching beret - Mango.com
- Lux Exeter shrunken blazer - UrbanOutfitters.com
- brightly patterned tights - UKTights.com
- craftsy, yet edgy, Thera Black necklace - ViceVanity.com
- snazzy metallic bowler - borrow for $20/month from BagBorroworSteal.com
Go 80s in a chocolate patent leather Dr. Marten-style boot from Sonia Rykiel (SoniaRykiel.com) or more feminine in a pair of Frye Tina Button Cuff boots with a heel (FryeBoots.com).
The (fashion) devil is in the details, so stay out of style purgatory by defining your waist with a belt, and rocking a classic pair of leather gloves & proper, ladylike lipstick (shelve the gloss for a while).
