What I Wore | Fall ’17 Inspired Outfit

Fall 2017 inspired outfit; 5 trends, 1 outfit . . .

Hey guys,finally the harmattan is beginning to surface here in Lagos, one would think that it would be really cold by now, but then we can’t rely on the weather these days, can we?  I can’t wait for the cold times to come so I can get rock my sweaters, jackets, and layer fashion pieces comfortably without having to think of the heat or sweat. ​

I’ve never really been a fan of studio shoots, except if I’m styling or modeling for a brand. However, I’m currently digging this shoot and the second one (shh, wait for it), thanks to the team of amazing individuals that put in efforts to make this turn out great.

​​

What I’m wearing

Sunglasses – Dior

Bomber Jacket – George

Pants – Thrifted

Shoes – Oldie (DIY)

Bag –  Oldie (Roadside Vendor)

This outfit was inspired by some of the trends from Fall ’17 (also the same as AW 17), and that includes;

​

 • Bomber jacket; They are essentially meant for warmth, but who I absolutely love that badass look and feeling that bomber jackets adds to an outfit, who doesn’t? It’s so sad that we can wear our bomber jackets out in Nigeria only in the extremely cold weather during the harmattan and probably rainy season too.
• The color “Tawny port”; As seen in the pantone’s color chart for Fall 2017-2018, this color described as “Tawny port”is one of the colors for Fall 2017-18.
​​• Waist bag; Alongside fannypacks, waistbags are one the in thing right now. Check my next post on trendimg accessories for more. This is actually a regular bag I wore as a waist bag, I was able to achieve that by adjusting the strap and fitting it to my waist, it is the same bag in this post.

• Wide-leg pants; Personally, I think wide leg pants are a combination of comfort and style. Skinny pants (and I’m not talking about jean) took over the fashion space for a while but wide leg pants are coming back with a bang these days, and this cropped wide leg pants is one of my favorite pants right now because of the style and comfort it gives.

• Florals; Florals are synonymous but not limited to summer, you can as well rock florals during fall. However, unlike the bright florals for summer, fall florals are mostly dark and vintage inspired.

My next post would entail a couple of accessories trending right now that you might absolutely love, you shouldn’t miss out on it.
