There’s a wonderful looseness to fashion at the moment, at least at street level. For the first time in ages girls are finding loads of items they love and, you know, just wearing them. The strict rules of the past have been put aside for a while and we have to say it’s so refreshing. It’s like girls are covering themselves with style glue and rolling about in the best jumble sales of all time.
Nicole has subtly linked her items together here (patterned scarf and patterned tights, green jacket with green head band) and clearly has a great eye for colour but there’s a feeling that this outfit comes from the heart not the head. We especially love the feathered hair adornment against the striking hue of her tresses – quirky headwear is always a good move. Let’s make that a rule when rules come back into fashion.
Feather head band from Topshop
“I like accessorising my hair with head bands.”
Scarf from Majorca
“I’m really into that mustard colour at the moment.”
Jacket from an old vintage shop
“It’s my boyfriend’s, he gave it to me. It’s some old horse riding jacket.”
Skirt from Zara
“I wear high-waisted things all the time.”
Tights from Primark
“I like the pattern because it was reversed, usually the pattern is the darker part.”
Reebok trainers from Schuh
“I like the fact they have gold laces, I love gold. I wear a lot of hi-top trainers but I do wear a lot of shoes as well.”
