How can I achieve the classic Ralph Lauren vintage military look?
Taking inspiration from vintage military pieces is a great way to add sharp tailoring and sophisticated drama to your wardrobe. Whether it’s a double-breasted blazer with gold buttons, a striking cape with a high, embroidered collar or a tall black all-weather boot, there are a plethora of options to choose from. To balance the bold nature of military-inspired items, trying pairing these pieces with more modern or feminine elements. The overall effect should always be somewhat subtle, ensuring the outfit does not translate as a costume or theme. Vintage military items are especially appropriate during the winter and holiday months. A black velvet pant and striking red military jacket make a stylish combination at a holiday cocktail party while a military-inspired cape will work over many different styles of eveningwear during the season.
What are some stylish ways to wear a belt?
Belts are a great accessory for adding shape and detail to your outfit. Start by building a collection of different sizes, materials and lengths so that your styling options are plentiful. After all, a little black dress or great pair of jeans can look completely different when worn with a belt. Belts look great with jeans and trousers with belt loops, however, they can also be worn atop a dress or skirt in order to cinch the waist and break up the colors or patterns in an outfit. Wear a thin belt over a t-shirt and cardigan for a refined approach to layering or slung low with a maxi skirt for a luxe-bohemian look. Make a jumpsuit look like separates by adding a belt and a slim jacket over top. Remember that buckles can be styled in the middle of the torso or off to the side, depending on what you think works with the outfit.
How do I wear metallic pieces during the day?
The trick to wearing metallic pieces during the day is to pair them with matte colors and soft textures. As long as the metallic piece is styled with traditional daytime elements, the look will be appropriate. Wear a metallic charmeuse blouse with wool pants or a sweater coat, or layer a long wool coat over a shiny lamé skirt. Metallic accessories are also a fine choice; wear them with monochromatic shades of grey or nude for a look that evokes modern glamour.
