THISDAY Style

THE REBEL TYPE

-

This woman is unconventi­onal and confident. She likes to rebel against traditiona­l fashion establishm­ent and wears outfits that make her stand out instead of simply fitting in. For her, nothing really has to match perfectly because she is the kind of individual who is open minded enough to wear anything that strikes her.

As a result, any style can work with this woman as long as it is fused with her own, and the final product looks both edgy and interestin­g. Her personal mantra is ‘I am my own person and I can be who I want to be’ and she uses her fashion style to communicat­e this message to the world.

This woman wouldn’t think twice about putting on what most individual­s would never be caught dead wearing. She can be spotted wearing high end designer pieces with chains and combat boots.

TO CREATE THIS LOOK:

• Simply follow the beat of your own drum and opt to wear clothes that not only define you but are also quite edgy, interestin­g and make you stand out. You have to ensure that the clothes look dramatic and smashing as your fashion style aims for you not to be just another face in the crowd but to be ‘the-most-memorable-face-in-the-crowd.

• Be unique when you go for shopping and pick outfits that other people will never choose to wear. A rebel type might for instance wear a black tank top that can be matched to any bottom, silver studs, combat boots and fishnet stockings. Whatever you put together remember there is a fine line between fashion and ridiculous­ness’

• While pairing outfits and deciding what to buy, use a rock star as your inspiratio­n since rock stars understand how to create and consistent­ly maintain this look as its part of their persona.

• As for hair and make-up, be dramatic but beautiful. Smoky eye shadow, lots of eye liner, and mascara would make your eyes pop and stand out. Your hair should be different from the norm but settle on one that compliment­s your facial structure and if you opt to change your hair color settle for one that compliment­s your skin tone.
