Category Archives: Style On TrialUnderwear as Outerwear: Sophia Leopard Mesh Padded Cup Strapless Dress
Yes, you read that correctly: mesh padded cup dress. As in, mesh padded cups, like you’d expect to see, say, on a bra or on nightwear – only on a dress. Of the sort that you’d usually expect to wear out, say, in public. Can anyone else see the paradox? Of course, at £20, you might not mind keeping this little number to the confines of your own bedroom. But if you do want to wear it beyond the front door, please be prepared for some serious attention to come your way. We won’t speculate on the kind of attention you should expect… Sophia leopard dress, £20 from Boohoo. Sponsored Dresses of the WeekSixties Style on Trial: Miu Miu’s patent leather jacket
Hot on the heels of the jacket potato jacket, the Fashion Police bring you the PVC jacket! There’s much working in favour of this item. The bow detailing is cute. The slant pockets are adorable. And it definitely has the sixties vibe going on – it is more than a little reminiscent of the kind of thing Twiggy might have modeled. But just look at it and tell us, with a straight face, that you don’t see “bin bag”! What do you think? Could you pull it off? If so you can buy it for €1,350.00 from My Theresa. Style on Trial: Snake print leggings from Topshop
Hey, everyone! Want your legs to look like a couple of reptiles! Topshop is here to help you do just that, with their snake-print leggings, £22. On the plus side, you know all those people who have phobias about snakes? Just think of the fun you can have with them. On the minus side, however: well, to be honest, it’s pretty much ALL a minus side as far as we’re concerned, and we say that as people who don’t even have a particular problem with snakes: just with these leggings. What about you, though? Yay or Nay to the snake-print leggings? (Click here to buy them) Dressing gown chic: Sonia Rykiel cashmere-blend long-length cardigan
In fairness this is not actually nightwear. It is a cosy, warm cashmere cardigan, ideal for chilly winter days. But you can’t deny that it looks more than a little like the kind of cosy you’d snuggle into after a relaxing bath rather than the kind you’d wear out shopping on a Saturday – because it looks undeniably like a dressing gown! Being cashmere blend, of course, it comes in at cashmere cost – £1,565, should you have such readies lying around to spend on post-bathing luxury. Or, should you fancy hitting the high street in something that might be mistaken for your robe. And which, as such, might see you barred from your local Tesco… Sonia Rykiel cashmere-blend long-length cardigan, £1,565 from Net-a-Porter.

Shoes! And… shells! OK, so it’s not the most obvious of pairings, we’ll give you that. It’s not like you can’t see a pair of stiletto ankle boots without thinking of crashing waves, golden sand, and lots of little creatures living inside seashells, is it? Haus of Price, however, have managed to make just that connection, taking a pair of regular looking ankle boots, and then sticking seashells to them, in the manner of a child’s craft project. What do you think of the result, though? Do you find these pleasingly unique – after all, it’s not everyone who’ll have a pair of seashell shoes, now, is it? – or are you wondering how long it would take to pick all of those shells off them again? Tell us! (Click here, meanwhile, if you just want to buy them) Style on Trial: Rochas brocade skinny pants
Woah, man, these pants are, like, totally awesome! Like really, way out! If I stare long enough, I can totally, like, see stuff in them! Sweet, dude! Of course, if you’re not a seventies hippy throwback, you might find reason to question the design of these trousers. If, for example, the idea of camel toe doesn’t appeal, a pattern which emphasises the area may not be to your taste. Similarly, if you’d rather minimise your thighs, big circular targets highlighting each individually might not create the desired effect. Or maybe you’re tall and svelte and want to play up the 70s revival, in which case these brocade trousers, teamed with wooden platforms and loose flowing locks could be the perfect solution! If so you can grab a pair from Net-a-Porter for £985. What do you think? Yay or Nay? Style on Trial: Cowl necks for men
But what do you think? Are cowl necks the next big thing in menswear? Or is this a style that should be reserved for women’s sweaters only? You decide. If you (or your man) likes the sweater above it can be purchased here for £34.99.

Awww – lookit! An ickle bunny wabbit! Wiv sparkly bits! How cuuuuute! Cute on a four year old? Yes. Possibly even cute on a ten year old. A teenager might just pull this off with enough “innocent chic” aplomb, and worn with a dash of irony I can even see it cropping up in the lecture theatre… But we’re going to stick our necks on the line and say that if you’ve graduated? You most likely can’t pull this one off. Which is a shame, because you know we’re all about the stripes! So, will you be channelling your inner toddler this season? If so hop (yes, we went there) on over to Oli.co.uk where £40 will buy you a free pass to nursery school – and possibly a few bemused looks to boot! | |||||||
