Expert shares tips to turn runway trends into everyday style
Have you ever been inspired by runway outfits but struggled to replicate the same in your wardrobe? Well, while haute couture and avant-garde designs may seem extravagant for everyday life, there's a way to infuse a touch of runway magic into your daily style. Actor, model, and fashion influencer, Akash Choudhary helps you get started. Men, please take note!
Experiment with crop tops
Crop tops are a runway favorite. "You can incorporate them into your daily attire by pairing them with the right elements," says Choudhary. He suggests adding a stylish jacket or layering it over a contrasting T-shirt to strike the perfect balance between edgy and sophisticated. "This way, you retain the trend's edgy appeal without showing too much skin," he adds.
Incorporate metallics and shimmer
Don't shy away from metallics, sequins, or shimmer, advises the model. "Incorporate these eye-catching elements subtly into your outfit. For instance, if you're wearing metallic pants, keep the rest of your attire neutral," recommends Choudhary. Another option is to wear a T-shirt with sequins or stones and style it with a matte jacket and pants for a dazzling yet refined look.
Androgynous fashion
Androgynous fashion, as showcased on runways, easily transitions into daily wear. Choose unisex basics and explore various styling possibilities. According to a fashion expert, "Pair sheer and body suits with simple denim, trousers, or shorts for a chic, versatile look that defies traditional gender norms. Remember, it's not just about what's on the runway but how you style it to make it your own."
Try out frills, laces and layers
Incorporate the charm of frills, laces, and layers into your wardrobe to make your clothes stand out. "Opt for clothing items with subtle detailing, such as a jacket or shirt adorned with these elements. It is a great way to elevate your party or special occasion look, adding a touch of uniqueness and sophistication," says the fashion influencer.
Opt for neutral tones
One simple rule while incorporating runway style is to use neutral tones as your canvas. Choudhary says, "When experimenting with runway trends, remember to balance them with neutral tones." "Whether you are going all out with metallics or adding intricate details to your outfit, neutral colors provide the perfect backdrop, allowing your statement pieces to shine," he adds.
