How to: Wear fishnets

Nailing the fishnet trend is fairly simple, as long as you own it, you're almost definitely going to be able to pull it off.

I started wearing fishnets with jeans about a year ago and I really loved how it looked and the statement it made. Since then, fishnets have grown to be a huge trend and many people love it. Who could blame them? I get that the fishnet trend isn't for everybody but, if it is for you then you're in the right place because I've compiled a little guide that's going to help you smash the fishnet trend.

I promise you, they are the ultimate fashion accessory.

This was the first outfit I EVER paired fishnets with and it's safe to say, I still really love it. I wanted my outfit to be quite simple but have a few statement pieces to give it an edge, those statement pieces are: fishnets, red leather jacket and a scrunchie on my wrist. I feel like the jacket and fishnets work really well together in getting the outfit to say what I wanted it to say. So, if you want to dress up a simple outfit I'd suggest throwing on some fishnets and a coloured jacket to really give it that pop.

The jacket I'm wearing in this was from a vintage store. The bodysuit is from New Look. My jeans are Joni jeans from Topshop. My shoes are Old Skool Vans.

I love, love, love this look. I still own everything in this picture apart from the boots, I lost them which makes me more sad than you know (haha). Again, fishnets really made this look and helped it come together. I love how much more the fishnets are exposed in this outfit, thanks to the huge rips in my jeans. I promise I didn't fall over if your Granddad asks. So, even if you only wear fishnets with jeans you can constantly switch up the style of jeans giving you a completely different look each time. As you can see, I've also got myself some super sparkly socks and I just love how they look with this outfit. You could have any socks you want with your outfit, they could be plain white or have cartoon characters. Whatever you choose, it will really give you that bit of umph.

My jeans are from Topshop as well as my socks. My shoes are from New Look.



Of course, there are plenty of other ways for you use fishnets. I once wore a huge levis shirt with fishnets tights and I really liked how it looked. There are also many different types of fishnet tights: smaller diamonds, bigger diamonds, sparkly, pink, yellow, white. So, even if black fishnets aren't your style please be assured that there are a pair of fishnets out there.

Thank you so much for reading! It's a bit of a shorter post because I've been so busy with work and life at the moment but it means I've got lots to write about for the future. I would love to hear your thoughts as well as your style tips for fishnets.

Anyway, I hope you have a lovely week and I will be back next Tuesday!

Get the look: Polyvore

When I was about thirteen, I used to write fan-fictions (haha). Honestly, they are so funny for me to read back. Anyway, the thing that I used to enjoy the most about writing fan-fictions was making outfits for characters using polyvore. So, I decided that I'd use polyvore to create some of my dream outfits and to also give you a bit of inspiration. I had so much fun doing this and I really hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed making them.

                                                                    Black and Red

I love this outfit SO much. I think that all black outfits pretty much always look amazing but adding a pop of colour, such as red can really make all the difference and give your outfit a bit of edge. I kept this outfit simple with black skinny jeans and also a simple black crop top. I haven't gone for excessive jewellery as jewellery wasn't the thing that I wanted to make a statement. The statement items I've chosen are the patent block heels (I need them in my life right now) and of course, the read leather jacket. I have one very similar to this and I like to style it over my shoulders instead of wearing it like an actual jacket. I love the little Gucci clutch, I think it's beautiful. I wanted it to have a pop of red so that there was a theme running through this outfit.

If I was going to wear this outfit anywhere, it would be for a city break in London. I can imagine shopping in this outfit. I love it.

                                                                         Casual

I love, love, love this look. I wanted to keep it really casual and basic, hence the lack of jewellery. It's a very simple outfit but I also think it's still really stylish. I love the colour of the jumper as well as the knit, it looks heavy and really good quality. I think it would fit well. The skirt is my favourite part about this look, I think it makes it iconic but also has a ring of innocence about it. It's so detailed, it looks like a piece of artwork. It's a seriously beautiful skirt but it's Gucci so I don't think it's going to be in my wardrobe anytime soon (haha). I then added an orange rucksack and baseball cap to try and help a theme flow through it.

I think I would wear this outfit to go on a lunch date or maybe to grab a coffee. Either way, I love it so much.

                                                                   Festival fashion

I created this look knowing that I wanted to make something I would wear to a festival like Creamfields, as it's the festival at the top of my list to go to. I love this look. I think it's very simple and pretty, it's very feminine but it's still perfect for a festival look. I think the shorts are adorable, I love how they have the detailing at the top - I've never seen that on a pair of shorts before and I really feel it makes all the difference. I decided that the colour I wanted to run throughout the outfit was a nude pinky colour hence the pink timberlands, nude glasses and sun hat. My favourite item in this look is the bralette, I'm all about pretty lace bralettes at the moment. They really are a girls best friend, am I right ladies?? I also love the matching flower earrings and necklace. They're gorgeous.

    Night Out

 

Now this look is probably my favourite out of all the looks that I created. It's just amazing and I would thoroughly enjoy wearing this on a night out. If only (haha). Again, the skirt is Gucci but, isn't is beautiful? It is so detailed, everything from the flowers to the pleats and the studs and the little belt have been thought out very well and you can really tell. The skirt is such a statement that I couldn't pair it with any other patterned pieces cause that would completely clash. So, I thought this simple bralette would be the perfect item to accompany with it - Making the outfit really come together. As you can see, there is gold on the skirt which meant that I had to pick gold jewellery. I love how the jewellery seems to match, especially the choker and earrings.

 

I just think it's a well coordinated outfit and every fashion girls' dream.
