LFW street style edit
It's that time of year again. The time when bloglovin, instagram, and twitter feeds are flooded with street style pics, blurry runway shots, and presentation reviews. Due to the sheer volume of it all, I've fallen behind on keeping up with the constant flow. And from what I've seen of NYFW, I don't think I'm missing out on much (street style wise.) Last year many people had toned down their outfits after Suzy Menkes started a wave of backlash against outlandish, peacocking outfits. It seems this time around all that has been forgotten. And it hurts my eyes.
There were so many weird, garish layering looks that confused me beyond belief. I can appreciate a good fluffy coat, but not with 5 other statement pieces packed along. And oh, you're going to complain how it's 5 degrees (Fahrenheit) outside but then proceed to have bare legs while draping your coat over your shoulders, instead of, I don't know, wearing it?
And then there was London. London is usually my favorite in terms of street style, and this year was no exception. While the street style wasn't the best, it was definitely an improvement from NY.
Obviously I don't have any sort of background in fashion so my opinions are from a plebeian's point of view, but some of the choices were just screaming "give me all the attention!!" instead of "yeah I'm a fashionable gal just living the fashionable life at fashion week."
Was I the only one who felt this way? What are your thoughts on fashion week street style so far?
