SA Fashion Week 2019 recently came to an end – and we we’re blown away! Every season we look forward to seeing the trends guests, celebrities and influential designers are putting out there. But besides the trends we see coming down the runway, the red carpet never seems to disappoint! Take a look at our favourite street styles this year and how you can get the look…
Layers
A longer length blazer can look frumpy over a loose skirt, but if you add a belt detail which will cinch in your waist, you’ve been successful! Pair it with ankle boots that are low enough to show a little leg.
Check Blazer, R2 199, 4 to 16, Witchery at Woolworths

Neutrals
If you can’t decide on a colour, neutral is the way to go. Minimum effort should be put into styling your look, just add a micro bag and you’re good to go.

Printed
We know prints have taken over the fashion world and we can’t help but love it! Find a piece that’s fully printed or ease into the trend by wearing it in a smaller dose.
