Statement Fashion in 2014

Laura Springer asks if statement fashion is easier to achieve than it was in the past.

TLDR

What comes to mind when you think of statement fashion: crazy hairstyles, killer heels or just generally dressing like Lady Gaga? Not anymore! In 2014 it is easier than ever to achieve a statement look that stands out from the crowd with the help of something as simple as a bold accessory. Forget having to assemble a completely eccentric outfit in order to make your statement. Now, style icons such as Olivia Palermo are simply adding a chunky necklace to a plain outfit creating a look that appears original and sophisticated. What’s the best thing about this new fashion craze? It costs a fraction of the price and can transform almost any outfit from day to night. However as we are moving into autumn, why not brave the iconically British bowler hat to add an essence of boho to your look whilst keeping you warm at the same time. Alternatively, if you’re more of a makeup muse, take inspiration from celebrities such as Lily Collins that have popularised the bold, berry lip which is also an easy way to automatically give any look that desired autumnal feel.

Statement fashion in 2014 can be achieved in many simple ways, allowing you to put your own stamp on many different outfits without breaking the bank. Forget having to spend money on bold pieces of clothing that, although may catch your eye in the shop and fill you with optimism about having the capability to change your look, in fact never actually get worn. They simply become dust collectors that are destined for the local charity shops.
