Okay, so not everyone is cut
out for a head wrap. It’s no big deal. You can just leave it. It always does
add a bit of drama though, so for the brave, go for it when you’re keen to make
a solid statement. The idea with being sundowner chic is looking either casual
in a smart way or looking dressed up in a casual way – I think I just said the
same thing in two different ways. Oh well. So, find yourself some statement
item that you can pair with a staple type garment for a really upmarket leisure
look. I like going for local designer pieces, because they are usually designed
to stand out. I pair them with either denims or in this case, a pair of vintage
tuxedo pants. What you get is a completely dressed up look that works for day
and night. I then add a solid casual element by wearing a pair of low-cut
sneakers – this then tones the look down to something a bit more casual and
less fancy-pants. With this kind of look, I recommend you choose one section to
host the drama, either upper body or lower body – never both.
Get this look!
