Black pinafores a-go-go
May 17th 2007 05:59
For any young style monger the contradictions that are Sydney weather in May produce a host of difficulties and the only solution is layering. And the best kind of layering? Why the black pinafore dress of course!
I can hear some of you screaming, but Alice, didn't you say yesterday that ubiquity is death? Here comes the important distinction between an overdone trend and classical elegance. Trench coats, high leather boots, large (but not too large) sunglasses and black pinafores all have something in common, even if every second person on the street is wearing them, each item has sufficient flexibility to be adapted by the wearer. Audrey and Marilyn had entirely different body shapes but each worked the elegance factor in their dress styles.
The black pinafore can work for everyone, depending on the cut, obviously. So if you don't have one it's time to invest, they can be worn over long sleeved tops or under man-style jumpers for day, with bold jewelery and heels at night, over skinny jeans if you like that sort of thing and in just about any weather Sydney wants to throw at you in May
. You won't regret it. Trust me.
