Fall Styling Notes
I don’t know about you but I’m very excited for fall. But knowing our current erratic weather, I feel like we might not even have a fall, we’ll just cut straight to winter. Anyway, this time around I made a few changes to a classic fall uniform that I can’t wait to do everyday. The key here is to either delete from, or maximize a classic.
Just boiling it down to a few key pieces for a very minimized wardrobe. That perfectly braided men’s belt, the worn in black but almost grey acne jeans…the cashmere sweater you want to wear everyday even though you have like, 20 different ones. I’ve been wearing this grey sweater so many times that there are now holes around the armpits. Serendipitous I suppose.
The sneakers pictured are Adidas Roundhouse. A quick link to the jungle.
Accessories, not deleted from the wardrobe but maximized. Tom Binns safety pin earrings and large hoop earrings.
You see I don’t really see the point of wearing hoop earrings unless they are at least 4 inches in diameter.
Now onto the one jacket I plan to wear everyday, or rather, a classic car coat. Mine’s from Joseph and I got this a while ago, and it was fleshed with your average long sleeve. But it’s time to let scissors meet the elbow. Because right now I just feel like wearing a long sleeve coat is almost like wearing a straight jacket. Can’t deal.
And lastly, I also crave the look of thick socks or leg warmers pulled up high with jeans tucked in. Yes it’s cankle city central and it’s all good.
Forgot to shower, please don’t judge….
Have to tuck in the earphones, otherwise I go nuts.
always amazing….
Oh my god. Your black and white shots are ridiculously stunning!
Hi Luxirare, did I understand correctly that your Joseph jacket originally was long-sleeved but you cut and hemmed the sleeves to the elbow? if so, wow that’s so brave!
one word: DOPE!
Swag.
You should do a post on how you take care of your hair …
Jesus I love your androgynous style. None of this “menswear” made for women; straight up borrowed from the boys.
LOOOVE
LEGWARMERS! You know you are perfect
This is so fucking good. I’m so doing this for fall. I just recently got my first pair of high waisted, black Acne jeans and I really see why you like them so much. And good thinking on making the sleeves on the coat shorter, works so good!
Also, I really like that sweatshirt. It’s a bit of a pity that sweatshirts are trendy all of a sudden, that means they’ll be expensive too. But I guess I could always get some at an ‘el cheapo’ store!
I love it all so much. Where is the sweater from? It’s perfect.
I hate earphone wires, I just bought some wireless earbuds from Jaybird. http://www.amazon.com/Jaybird-Freedom-Bluetooth-Earbuds-Fit-Bluetooth/dp/B005B28DOM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1346881888&sr=8-1&keywords=jaybird+earbuds
I’d also like to know where the sweater is from! Thanks.
I love it all except the coat and leg warmers. I just can’t. The earrings are on point though.
I love the socks, sneakers, jeans combo (and the earrings and the grey sweater — everything about that one picture on the stool, actually). I’mma gonna steal that for myself!
I was really skeptic about the hoops, leg warmers and the coat’s cut, but after that stool picture… I’m totally sold. Probably can’t pull it off, won’t even try it, but kudos Luxi, kudos.

This makes me really miss and long for living in a country where it isn’t stinking hot and humid all year round… haven’t had a proper winter in years!
Great taste, I had no doubt about your look. Love the earrings and the jacket!
Plus, we finally get to see more of your face! I’m just sooo curious to see your eyes for once…
I love the idea of wearing a different colored long sleeved shirt under a jacket with sleeves cut at the elbow… might try that one of these days.
Very nice blog!thanks for sharing the blog.I wish you to post the new updates regularly.

Separately I wasn’t sure about the pieces, but they really look great together! You just changed my opinion on hoop earrings!
“You see I don’t really see the point of wearing hoop earrings unless they are at least 4 inches in diameter.” – exactly!
How does your hair stay so gorgeous and tousled?!
Perfect. Shortened sleeves just look right.
love this look. i really do. it’s perfectly casual and completely cool/ spot on.
xo
Stealing all this!! lol
God I can’t wait for this summer bullshit to be over. I want wool! And layers! And layers of wool!
I’ve basically stopped buying clothes, and have turned to my husband’s closet – to his annoy-ment. His cashmere sweaters and tops in general are great. But I’ve been working on adapting some of his pants – (he’s really big – 6’5, over 200 lbs). Trying to work on some TLC / Aliyah paper bag cinches???
Love yr. high tops! I buy from the boys department too. Cheaper…
Damn, girl. I’m sooooooo in love with you and your aesthetics.
THUG.
You really can make that outfit work. But this shoes?! Sorry, the combination with the legwarmers makes them even worse.
Sorry, but your still beautiful anyway.
Love this, all of it!!!!
And the safety pin earrings are AMAZING!! Where did you get them?!
Hey, what is the Acne jeans model you are wearing called? I am always on a hunt for a prefect, comfortable, super-slim black jeans, in fact that is my single most important wardrobe item, so you know- you would help A LOT with this info:)))
I can’t get over how much I love this outfit. UGH. SO GREAT. CAN’T DEAL!
