Winter Nomad: 5 Pieces to Make The Look
Winter weather is where urban bohemian, or “nomadic” street style really comes into its stride. There’s so much opportunity to play with layering of fabrics, the clashing of prints, and the quintessential outerwear pieces that make nomadic dressing what it is. This is a very textural trend, heavy on woven fabrics, patterns and fur.
One approach is a la Lanvin 2015 with an earthy, more traditional colour palette. Think anything from burgundy, rust, to emerald green, combined with ethnic prints and woven detailing. Fringing, (faux) fur, and flowing silhouettes are all your friends here - a checklist that can easily be ticked off with a printed maxi dress and a fur jacket.
For a more current take on the trend, accent your outfit with flashes of the unexpected. Take something we usually associate with the nomadic trend and twist it around. For example: silver snakeskin boots instead of a typical plain python will heighten the drama of the look, while a slogan t-shirt paired with a printed maxi skirt will take your look in a more street-style direction.
