[Press play before I show you how to Steal Solange's style.]
With the likeness in their voices, you may be forgiven for mistaking Solange’s
vocals for her older sister Beyoncé. But, she
is a musical talent in her own right, with the genius and confidence to match
her sister. Her take on Pop and RnB is experimental, drawing influences from
all over the world and multiple eras, much like her approach to clothing. Solange
is a fashion icon. Her striking look is stylish and fun, making her the envy of
fashionistas everywhere. Her outfits are eye-catching; amalgamating masculine tailoring,
bold colour, and clashing prints. Solange’s wardrobe is one of my most coveted;
I couldn’t help myself compiling a post about how to get her look!
This
first look is about incorporating clashing prints so that they don’t fight
against each other. Here I’ve paired the smaller print of the red trousers with
the large leopard print of the jacket, so that they complement. The white She
Likes heels are a versitle addition to your warderobe, worn smart or casual.
I have fallen in love with the
bright and bold statement these leopard print trousers make. Granted they are a
daring garment to wear, and you have to be confident in your conviction to wear
them, but Solange’s look is all about making an
impact.
This
outfit is more casual and comfy. The flowiness of the fabrics used in the
Glamourous trousers and ASOS jacket, give it an elegant touch. I love how
the colour continuity in the shoes and jacket brings the outfit together.
I love the way bright yellow
looks against Solange’s skin tone. This outfit is inspired by the Rachel Roy dress
she wore at the Met Ball 2012. I couldn’t find a maxi dupe but I think this
shorter version by AQ/AQ is much more
wearable. I love the gold accessories, but gold is my favourite colour so I’m
biased!
The African/Aztec print on this
matching set by Missguided is the perfect example of incorporating Solange’s
love for print into your going-out look. I like how the Office shoes are from the
same colour palette of monochrome and yellow, yet don’t detract from the top and
shorts. The detail on the She Likes cover up keeps the look interesting from the back.
This
look is only for the brave! It’s a loud and proud tropical explosion. I’ve
tried to translate Solange’s tailored siloette from her designer pieces, into more
affordable pieces like this set from from River Island. Her look often includes a low neckline so this ASOS top is perfect. The neon pink bag is an
extra shot of colour just in case the bold floral print wasn’t enough!
Solange
is a big fan of a shorts suit. The print on this Boohoo twin set is gorgeous
and I like the detail in the multiple colours the pattern is made up of. Miista
shoes are becoming a favourite of mine and theses brouges are to die for!
If
you aren’t a big fan of bright colours and loud prints, this outfit may be
more up your street. I picked out some muted winter florals in these beautiful
pieces from She Likes for a slightly more subtle look. The navy Missguided blazer
is great for throwing on over so many outfits you’ll get plenty of wear out of
it.
What do you think of Solange's style? Do you have any favourites pieces? Leave me a comment below.
