Ralph Lauren Spring/Summer 2019 for Men
The men’s fashion at this year’s Ralph Lauren show was something rich and aspirational! The materials used, much like in the women’s collection, were mixed and beautifully designed! It was all about suits for the 50th anniversary of the Ralph Lauren brand, but each suit had a little uniqueness thrown in to add the Lauren touch! Photos by Vogue One of the most consistent parts of this collection is the fact that the designs, for men in particular, are not too loose fitting. Instead, they are tailored to precisely fit each model. This gives the fashion forward suits a more professional look while also being exceptionally designed with crushed velvet…

Ralph Lauren Spring/Summer 2019 for Women
The old soul in me simply loved the Ralph Lauren 5oth anniversary runway show this New York Fashion Week! There were so many different elements jam-packed into one show, yet his collection remained so cohesive! What was most prevalent trend you noticed in this show you ask? The accessories! Photos by Vogue We saw a touch of New York and a touch of London mixed into a super modern and super classic collection with men’s and women’s fashion for Ralph Lauren. The rustic and modern vibes ran through the structure of each piece and the overall color scheme. The muted browns, blacks, and burgundy are all colors you would normally…

Tory Burch Spring/Summer 2019
Tory Burch gave us something to think about with this collection. The question raised with these designs are, “How do you make something almost completely different, yet with your invisible fingerprint on it all at the same time?” Well, whatever the answer is to this question Tory Burch figured it out seamlessly! Photos by Vogue We are used to seeing Tory Burch pieces that are very colorful and with lots of prints. But while all of the other designers are currently experimenting with mixing prints, Tory Burch its experimenting with basics! She took what she was known for, and toned it down. All the while, these designs are still unmistakably…

Kate Spade Spring/Summer 2019
Despite all of the fun and fashion, New York Fashion Week was also a emotional milestone. This was the first fashion show after the loss of company founder Kate Spade. There were many impactful tributes dedicated to her, from the all pink runway to the programs with the iconic quote “She left a little sparkle wherever she went”. This collection will be a memorable one for the brand for many reasons, only one being how amazing all of these pieces are. Photos by Vogue This whole runway show seemed to be 60’s inspired and I loved every bit of it! From the fun prints to the all pink outfits, this…

Princess Sleeves for Fall 2018
For fall fashion, we already discussed the exciting neon trend that has made an appearance, and how crop tops will be the fall surprise only Faintly Familiar readers will see coming. Now, let’s take closer a look at another fall 2018 trend: the princess sleeves. Yes, you may be thinking of the Seinfeld episode with this puffy shirt, but I assure you this trend is nothing like that! I have always loved a strong shoulder in tops and and jackets, a structured shoulder can make all the difference in tailoring! The princess sleeve is that extra something added to an otherwise simple look. It is a soft, elegant feature and…

Neon for Fall 2018
Did someone say neon? The future of fashion is everything neon! We saw so much of this on the runways earlier this spring, but now it is taking over the fall’s trendiest pieces! There are many elements from the 80’s that are back in style, but they each one deserves its own article. Today I am discussing the way you can incorporate a touch of neon into your wardrobe! For the men, you can wear a cool, crisp tee that has neon lettering. Want to go all in on this trend? Wear a brightly color solid shirt! A basic, neon t-shirt will catch the eye and keep you in style…

Color Blocking for Men
It looks like color blocking is going to be a pretty big fall/winter trend for 2018. There is no reason that you can’t get ahead of this trend and lead the way! The aztec print t-shirt my brother Jacob is modeling is a great example of how you can us color blocking to your advantage early. The colorful print really stands apart from the solid colored pocket on the front of the tee. That one simple element is the perfect way to grow into even more color blocking as the season goes on. If you want to keep it simple and only dip a toe in the pool of color…

40’s Inspired Top
If there is anything I love as much as watching a classic film, it’s wearing clothes inspired by the silver screen era! I found this chic floral top in the clearance section at Kohl’s for only $9! Just seeing the fluttering cap sleeves and feeling the lightweight material gave me vintage vibes. When I tried this top on, I was immediately taken back to a different time! My favorite touch in this top is the delicate, feminine sleeves. For a while now I have felt the pulse of an older yet somehow modernized style trying to surge back into fashion. Maybe we will have a little taste of The Great…

The Knotted Romper
What better way to welcome the new month than with a cute romper? This is one of my favorite rompers in my closet! I bought it at the tail end of last summer, maybe that is why I am so fond of it for this time of year. The print vertical styled print is one of my favorite aspects of this romper, I’m also a sucker for anything with stripes! The sleeveless look keeps you cool in the heat while the print keeps the romper interesting. My favorite feature is hands down the knot in the front, though! Not many rompers have a knot to tie so this versatile feature…
