Call it indecisive, an identity crisis, or (if you feel kind) – absolute styling genius! Wearing feminine and edgy pieces simultaneously has always been one of my favorite styling techniques. I love finding the balance of both my personality and style that expresses my pie baking/ballerina side and my imaginary rock star/spy/tortured artist side. Combine your love for lace and and leather as I give you 3 tips for how to wear edgy and feminine clothing together!
1. Choose an cohesive color palette
When mixing two opposite styles, it’s important to find some common ground to create an outfit that looks put together. The easiest way to do this is to choose a cohesive color palette. Adding the black fringe purse and black booties makes the moto vest blend easier with the blue jeans and pink blouse because of the unified color palette.
2. Balance the edgy and feminine pieces
Oftentimes, two extremes are hard to pair together. A thick spiked choker is tough to pair with a pastel Kate Spade A-line skirt. It’s not impossible, but it’s pretty tough. When pairing edgy and feminine pieces, choose only one extreme. For me, I wanted to dress down the “extreme” femininity of the blouse so I added the black moto vest which is less of an edgy extreme.
3. Accessories complete the outfit!
Use jewelry and handbags to add the final touches to the balancing act of feminine and edgy styles. I chose these jeweled blush earrings to complement the blouse and the dark fringe purse to play off the vest. When in doubt, choose neutral accessories to bring together the conflicting styles.
Embrace every side of your personality and experiment wearing edgy and feminine clothing together. You will get more use out of your wardrobe and you’ll look amazing!
