Plaid is very much in!

Prints and patterns are  still popular this winter. The classic plaid look has ventured from the traditional sophisticated accent. You can find celebs such as Kim Kardashian and Karrueche rocking plaid skirts and bottoms. This life-styler reinvented the plaid look with eccentric black and gold shoes. The red plaid continues to give a more edgy look to this fit. Try it out!

Try this one! I know we have all seen the denim on denim trend rocked by celebrities, such as Rihanna. Copy this look, but top it off with your fav fur jacket or peacoat. Balkan music artist wears a blush colored coat and pewter colored heels.

Remember how I hinted towards navy last week? Here's another example on how to stay warm this winter, in navy! Take that summer chiffon button down dress back out! You don't have to wait for Spring! Wear a pair of dark wash jeans to layer underneath. Find a scarf that has navy intertwined to compliment navy blue jacket, and tie the scarf underneath the collar of chiffon dress. Find neutral colored shoes to complete such as a nude or a camel color!

Sigh... Angela Simmons...We were not ready for you to put us in a frenzy like this! I am in love! What really makes her outfit is actually this blonde bombshells' hair! Of course this jumpsuit is amazing, DUH lol. Even the hint of red from her Yves Saint Laurent clutch. What sealed the deal was this very classy and clean braid! Any updo such as a ponytail or bun would've been fine also. If one was to wear their hair down it would've been too much since the outfit is an attention grabber by itself. Try an empowering look like Miss Angela!

It's all about risks in order to not be categorized with everyone else. Who knew that an acid wash denim jacket would compliment this dapper fit?Josh Aaron, one of my current fav life-styler on IG! Follow him @theurbanesavant
