THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO DRESSING LIKE INFLUENCER­S

- BY KONYE NWABOGOR

Looking to take your look up a notch? Then taking a page out of your favourite influencer’s book is a great idea. The fun thing about following influencer­s is that they dress b-o-l-d-l-y. They also make fashion seem fun. Not all of us have the time or energy to put together a whole new outfit every morning but taking a cue from your favourite influencer is sure to make a fashionabl­e difference.

Androgyny

We all know that men’s clothing can be very comfy, but have you ever thought about mixing up your feminine pieces with men’s clothes to give it a cool juxtaposit­ion? If you haven’t then maybe think again because an androgynou­s look will not only give a cool vibe but also a rather powerful look. ALERO

Wear a Suit

If you’re a sucker for that Instagram boss lady vibe then power suits are the only way to go about it. With this particular trend, you have the liberty to either go all out with pattern on pattern, a super bold monochroma­tic suit and belted blazer or take the more subtle but equally powerful route of girly pastels and muted tones. Paired with sleek jewelry and accessorie­s you’re sure to turn heads.

Play with colour

We are so used to the monochroma­tic look that at a point it becomes hard to step out of our comfort zone. This isn’t saying you should go all out on the very first day, but rather ease your way into the trend. If you feel that this isn’t really your cup of tea, start off by just playing with colourful accessorie­s, adding a brighter bag or solid coloured shoes can make any boring outfit fun. DIANAH GWENDU

Belt it

By now we all understand the importance of accessoriz­ing and belting up is by far the most practical and interestin­g one. You can go for the sleek and sophistica­ted ones or turn around and go for the chunky ones with the huge logo of the brand embossed on it. Or better still, make use of a belt made out of same fabric with your attire. It not only adds a certain vibe to the outfit but also cinches in at the waist giving you toned look. AMA GODSON

Play with patterns and textures

Mixing up different patterns and textures is definitely one of the favourite techniques used by leading stylists, designers and influencer­s. This is something that is often overlooked when you are getting ready in hurry, mixing of these two elements gives a certain dimension to the look that cannot be achieved easily otherwise.
