I often come across many fashion prejudices such as: after 30 a lady shouldn't wear trainers, a hoodie is a sporty or teenage thing, T-shirts with slogans are infantile, or streetstyle isn't fashion for women. Yes, here in Slovakia there is extreme pressure on women to be dolled up and sexy. I've travelled through many countries, but the Eastern Bloc countries are definitely at the top in this. Sometimes I marvel that some women would NEVER put on trainers because they aren't sexy, and even after 50 they happily go for a glittery manicure or wear hair extensions. Oh well, the same old saying again: "So many people, so many tastes."
Anyway, streetstyle fashion is absolutely trendy and is guaranteed to take 10 years off your age without any rejuvenating procedure!
But how do you do it? Simple. Sock trainers are the basis of street fashion this season. A massive hit that, together with so-called ugly sneakers, is offered by almost every brand now. These "boxer" sock trainers are much closer to my heart. Once you put them on, you won't take them off again, I guarantee it.
How to wear sock trainers?
In every visual, moodboard or lookbook of the brands we see them worn with dresses. For our conservative Slavic conditions, however, I recommend wearing these great trainers mainly with slim jeans. Whether you put black, blue or white ones with them, you won't spoil anything. They combine very well with "brand" or slogan T-shirts.
I wear them with a Givenchy hoodie and a classic grey oversized black coat. The choice of handbag or backpack is up to your taste. Such an outfit is street, yet at the same time minimalist and trendy, exactly so that I feel confident and comfortable in it.
And finally, as a bonus I'm adding a short backstage video from the shoot, which we just quickly filmed with Tom Loft as it was about minus five degrees and all our limbs were freezing. So for a better visualisation of this streetstyle outfit, definitely press play...
So what do you say, do you like this version of "rejuvenation" not only of your wardrobe, or do you belong to the aforementioned type who wouldn't put on trainers whatever happened?!
