Woke up this morning thinking how much I wanted to try and make this seasons sporting trend, my own, by putting my own unique touches to it. However it seemed almost impossible without changing it completely! As we all know the Olympics are happening this summer hence why there has been such a wide surge of sporting garments from draw string shorts to mesh elongated tops and vests, with the bralet becoming extremely popular, this trend screams relaxation, but yet still I felt that the trend was weak. I thought of only using specific elements and moods from the sporting trend, such as the dropped waistline, mesh fabrics, structured silhouettes, managing to maintain the relaxation feel. The trend I chose to place these elements into would be this SS12 grunge look, which I am absolutely in love with and it never seems to go out of fashion!
By mixing an elongated black skirt with an elongated mesh jumper it gives the elusion of a taller physique and thinner silhouette keeping a relaxed feel. I added a simple leather jacket and studded handbag to rock the look up a bit while the simple but gorgeous wedges make black the new summer colour. I finished off with simple accessories to not over compensate the outfit and keep simplicity as the focal point. Hope you guys like it!
