Statement pieces are every girl’s best friend!

They always come in handy when we are simply confused about what clothing piece to pick or don’t have enough room to carry many clothes.

Here’s a quick guide of handy pieces making life easier-

Tote bag

We talk a lot about what clothes are trendy, but don’t talk too often about the accessories, or as in the case: what bags are trendy. Bags actually have quite the spotlight in fashion right now. With lots of different distinct bags trending: One of them is the Tote bag! They’re a bit chunky in their appearance, but still pretty neat.

This statement piece is common in black, green, brown, but also popular in patterns such as leopard, glen check or classic stripes. The tote bags might not be the best ones for your shoulders as oversized tote bags are easy to overpack, but they’re also functional from that perspective. You can carry a the world with you inside those bags. What makes them a statement piece is that they’re a big part of one’s outfit, due to the visibility of the size. Tote bags in statement materials such as (faux) leather, fur, suede, or patent leather are stylish and a chic detail to any outfit.

If you don’t own this piece, I think investing in a timeless one is a must! A classic one in black is a reliable staple, but a brown one could also do. I. If you own a black, brown or white tote bag, there’s a high likability that it will match with the rest of your outfit – especially your boots! If you go for a tote bag in a fun colour or pattern, make sure to make the most out of it by matching it with your outfit. For instance, if you work a tote bag in stripes, how about a striped top or a classic houndstooth jacket? It’s all about embracing the print mix!

Ripped jeans

Ripped jeans are denim jeans with tear or rips, often on the knees but possibly in other locations on the pant.  They were popular in the late 1980s during the hard rock/heavy metal era and in the 1990s and 2000s during the grunge era.

Pants that are showing natural or manipulated wear & tear are often referenced as distressed. Worn and ripped jeans remain popular as they are still sold in stores and manipulated by consumers currently.  In the early 2010s, ripped jeans came back in style, as a 90s revival, but were sometimes introduced as Distressed – similar to ripped jeans, but the horizontal sewing point was occasionally removed to look like it was distressed.

Not all distressed jeans that were worn are a fashion statement.  Ripped jeans were simply a result of over-wearing.  Prior to the 1970’s, ripped jeans were mainly associated with the less fortunate.  The lower end of the working class  could not afford to part with their denim.  Obviously, if a family cannot afford to purchase new pants, they may continue wearing them past the point of their own personal preference. The reality is that long before people were wearing torn jeans to express personal style, people wear torn clothing out of necessity.

Ripped jeans is one of the most versatile pieces of clothing and has endless ways of pairing it up which is fun! whether it’s a casual lunch or an office meeting!

Your go-to casual outfit formula: a pair of ripped jeans, classic tee and fresh white kicks. Add some sunnies and your favourite handbag and you’re good to go. For a casual winter outfit try combining a pair of ripped jeans with an oversized sweatshirt. Simple yet effective.  For a very on-trend outfit try styling your ripped jeans with a pair of fishnet stockings. It’s the perfect evening outfit that’s sure to turn heads. Take note from Kourtney Kardashian and team a neutral sweater with matching heels to your ripped jeans. Elevate a simple t-shirt and jeans outfit by adding a blazer. Wrap a flannel shirt around your waist with your ripped jeans for the ultimate 90’s grunge look. The grungy look of ripped jeans keeps a lace bodysuit from looking over-the-top sexy. This is the perfect summer outfit for day or night and is a Khloe Kardashian’s go-to!
