Guest Blog: Neon and Floral with Jen from The Style Crusader
We’ve long been big fans of Jen from The Style Crusader’s chic, elegant style and so we were thrilled when she agreed to write a post about the latest trends to arrive on site from our SS12 collection – neon and floral denim! Here’s what she had to say…
There’s nothing I love to wear more than a pair of skinny jeans. They go with just about everything and are so easy to wear. I love that this season they’ve gotten an update with bright colours and floral prints. Why wear blue denim when there are so many other great options? It’s the easiest way to update your look for the new season.
I styled the 7 For All Mankind Skinny Garden Party jeans with a pink polka dot top by Muriee and an easy black biker jacket from Madewell. To give the look a bit of a tailored feel I decided to wear a pair of classic black heels from Zara – I’d equally love to wear these jeans with Converse though.
The awesome thing about statement trousers is that they act as the centre of attention for your entire outfit. They are bold without trying too hard and work just as well during the day as they do in the evening.
Try the Gwenevere in Hot Neon Pink with a loose white T-shirt, big dangly earrings and flat sandals during the day, or go for the Skinny in Kauai Floral Print and wear them with a crisp white shirt and blazer for a dinner date. They’re great for taking to the beach but also work perfectly when paired with a chunky sweater for when the weather isn’t too great.
The thing I love about these trousers? They offer an immediate burst of happiness. How can you not have a great day when your legs are acid bright or covered in ditzy flowers!
