It’s time for you to do a little homework. So, what’s in your closet? Chic Mom sent Lucid Salon (www.lucidsalon.com) owner Paula Ivins Kinston, who Allure named Best of NYC to Big Apple runway shows to see what’s “in” this season. We’ve created a Top 10 list from her report.
10 — Structure. Fitted jackets with padded shoulders. Skinny jeans. Big belts.
9 — Contradiction. Mix things up a bit with contrasting patterns and textures. Pair men’s trousers with a glittery top. Coordinate silk with wool or cashmere and velvet. Wear The Little Black Dress detailed with studs.
8 — 40s and 80s styles worn with a 21st century attitude. Motorcycle-inspired jackets trimmed with fur or feathers. Animal prints in wild colors like purple and teal.
7 — Jewelry’s big, but a lot is not. Choose a single, chunky necklace and a big bangle for your wrist.
6 — Fabulous footwear. Jeweled flats, platform pumps, over-the-knee boots. Knock ‘em dead with the shoes.
5 — Deceptively simple 40s hair. Slick in the front with a tease pony tail in the back or use a curling iron for all over wave then brush it through for a newer look.
4 — Defined brows. Ditch the pencil, use powder instead.
3 — Smoldering eyes. Eyeliner’s “out”, eye shadow is “in”. Gray is HUGE. Yes, Yes, Yes to metallic undertones.
2 — Red is hot. Pink blush placed high on the cheek bones for that flushed look. Wear gloss over red lipstick for voluptuous looking lips.
1 — Keep it simple. Make a statement.
