Rock That Denim!

Denim is undoubtedly the most worn material globally. Everybody loves denim! On the previous post, we predicted that neutrals and nude colors are bound to rule this year.

However, while that is true, we feel that there is lots of room for denim to dominate this year too; like it has in all other years. Undoubtedly.

Here are a few ways in which you can rock your denim pieces:

1. Denim on Lace.

How absolutely lovely! You may want to dress down but still achieve a chic look, effortlessly. Why not match up some lace and denim?!

2. Denim on Leather.

Everybody loves leather. Leather pants, leather shorts, leather jackets, etc. It is incredible how denim and leather are instantaneously in sync. You can never go wrong with this one.

3. Denim on Boots.

Meeting up with friends? Or maybe you want to go out on a chilly night? Stay chic and fab in denim and boots; you could never go wrong.

4. Denim on Heels.

The best thing about denim on heels is the smart casual look. We all love to look sharp at the workplace, and this look is perfect for Fridays and Saturdays. It can also double up for a party look.

5. Denim on Denim.

I mean, why not?

6. Denim Shorts.

Denim shorts are great for when going by the mall, or to the park, or to the beach. Basically, the go-to look for a chilled out day.

Neutrals in 2017

It is a brand new year, and fashion lovers and style enthusiasts all around the world are waiting to see what fashion trends will rule 2017. Looking back over the past few decades, it is safe to say that there is nothing completely new in fashion, except for significant modifications on fashion trends that make a comeback in the industry.

We have already spotted a few celebrities bringing back makeup looks from the 70’s and the 80’s; and we can bet on a few fashion and style trends from these two eras making a comeback.

However, at Fashion Icon Kenya, our bet is on one specific trend: Neutrals.

The past year saw some of the international fashion and style icons rock neutrals on several occasions, including Olivia Culpo and the Kardashian-Jenner clan.

Seeing as they are women looked up to by hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of young girls and women across the world, we see neutrals taking over this year.

Another reason why we feel that the neutrals have it in 2017 is because of the dominance we saw on the runway over the various fashion weeks that happened in 2016. The designers are feeling that vibe too.

Stay tuned to Fashion Icon Kenya for details on where you can grab a few of such-like, chic and classy pieces.

In the meantime, enjoy your week!
