Chokers and neck ties have been so extremely popular this season. Whether it was the thick velvet band around the neck or the thin leather strap wrapped around twice and tied at the front both have been very prominent for street style. The good part about this trend is that its not limited to the warmer months and no doubt I will be continuing it into winter as well. Instead of spending your money on an expensive pre-made version in store why not make your own. All you need is a thin (or thick depending on which look), piece of velvet ribbon which you can easily find at your local craft store. Just measure around your neck to get the perfect length and trim on an angle so that it doesn’t fray. Either pin it at the back for a tight look or tie it in a bow below your hair. Simple!

Off the shoulder tops are flattering on all body shapes and luckily there is a huge variety out there. ITs such an easy to wear trend and definitely adds a little something extra to your casual looks. This is definitely a trend that we will be able to carry on through Winter with so many long sleeve and knit options available. Try some of these street styling options when looking for ideas:

Vintage band tees are back with a vengeance. This is an easy trend to get into because not only are a bunch of stores selling them at the moment but you can also find some bargains at op shops, market stalls and maybe even your parents wardrobe. Not only are they easy to source but they are also easy and comfortable to wear. You can wear them with basically anything. Dress them up with skinny jeans and a pair of black heels, or down with a pair of cut offs and sneakers.

This season has had some major 70s vibes going on. From flare pants to over the knee boots it seems that the 70s are back so why not play it up a little. Flare jeans are great to pair with a cute little flowy crop or even an off the shoulder style. Even pinafores (like this Cord Pinfore from Glassons) or button up A-line skirts in Denim, Mustard and Burgundy with a floral patterned tie up top or even something with a bell sleeve. The great thing about a lot of these styles is you can definitely carry it on into the winter. When putting together an outfit don't be afraid to mix colours and patterns, try mixing something you wouldn't usually and it might surprise you what comes from it.  

Fringe and Tassels are very popular at the moment which is very fitting for the 70s vibes. Its easy to find a piece you can basically find fringe on anything at the moment including bags, shoes, keychains, necklaces (even dresses and skirts) Its definitely worth investing in a piece to carry through all of the seasons this year. And of course I cant forget to mention lace up heels. In both the over the knee style and some of the more simple shorter looks. Although they look like a lot of work (especially if you saw the three people lacing up Kendall Jenner's for the MTV movie awards) there are always little cheats out there. For example there are much easier ways to go about it. For example a lot of the high street options have zips on the back. Its definitely a style worth checking out. (Flat options also available)
