Nomad style means, first of all, freedom and a carefree spirit. Therefore, nomad fashion style is all about layers and patchwork when it comes to clothes, long sweaters, warm colors, oversize plaid coats, shearling, boots, cozy chunky knits, faux fur vests, long skirts, platforms, handbags with longer straps, feather accessories, exotic and different bold prints and hats. The same rule of layering can be applied for jewelry too, which should complement the outfit, creating the perfect harmony. Take a look to fall/winter 2010-2011nomad fashion trends.
A modern nomad girl need jackets with atypical tailoring and
generous volumes, long cotton skirts, chunky knitted sweaters made
of wool and urban jackets that can easily metamorphose through a
simple styling. The basic pieces of a chic nomad style could be
seen on the fashion runways for fall/winter 2010-2011 at numerous
designers who come to define the new direction of nomad spirit.
Wunderkind, Issey Miyake, Kenzo, Erdem and Haider Ackerman are some
of these designers. Fur hats represent the reflection of necessity
but also of luxury.
For a stylish urban nomad style think of investing in just a few
basic items. Layering seems to be the key element when it comes to
nomad style. Imagine wearing fur and heavy knits over a long skirt.
Moreover, during winter days, this style seems to be not only
extremely stylish, but also very practical and cozy keeping you
warm against the bad weather outside.
Maxi skirts can have a dramatic effect if they are worn with capes
or asymmetrical cardigans. If you are looking for a casual outfit,
a pair of masculine boots, short plaid coat and ethnic hats with
fur details in darker shades are the perfect choice. You have the
possibility to play with layering and take it to a whole different
level by wearing two skirts with different lengths in order to
create a stylish asymmetry. You can even dare to create an original
draping, Vivienne Westwood style, with a maxi brooch. Teaming a
long skirt with knits absolutely requires a belt to cinch at the
waist.
The classic leather jacket is extremely versatile. Besides the
classic combinations, you can also adapt it to a nomad-chic look
matching it with loose pants, a few scarves with tartan print, and
a tweed XXL vest. Two other pieces that you can use in order to
create a nomad outfit are the classic plaid coat and the shearling
jacket.
Accessorize them with a turban, as spotted at Jean Paul Gaultier,
made from different colored scarves, or with a trapper hat. Team
them chromatically with a wide belt and a pair of fingerless
gloves.
During the cold winter days, try layering a thick woolen sweater,
in brown tones, over a long cardigan with pockets applied, and wear
a scarf with floral prints around the neck. For a daytime look, you
can choose short-sleeved sweaters that you can wear over a body
with animal prints and velvet pants. In order to properly
accessorize the outfit, go for a pair of long gloves made in
bi-color leather, as seen at Ports 1961. Always keep in mind that a
belt can help you set all those layers.
If what you are looking for is a statement jacket able to have a
great impact, choose an oversize plaid coat, Viktor&Rolf style.
Wear it with pants that flatter your silhouette, long cotton skirts
and platform ankle boots. As for the accessories that better
represent a nomad style, think to handbags with long straps and
different applications. Moreover, as the cold season usually
requires hats and scarves, don't be afraid to use them in order to
create an urban nomad style, such as fur or trapper hats, scarves
with different prints, tartan scarves and gloves. The jewelry for a
nomad, yet chic style are embossed metal, layered chains, lots of
bangles, and beautiful neckwear.
