Outfit of the Day: Monochrome Stripes

Trousers: MeeMee – Vest: Matalan – Shoes: F&F – Necklace: Primark

Hey kittens, how are y’all? Surviving the heat? Can you believe we’ve not had rain in Manchester for as long as I can remember – when does that ever happen?! This week it’s been nearly 30 degrees, and phew, I am struggling with what to wear. 

Today’s Outfit of the Day is a might be a little warm for this weather, but it’s just too stylish not to wear. These Beetlejuice Roxy Trousers are such a statement item I couldn’t say no to them. These are my first items from MeeMee and to be honest I’m hugely impressed by them. Heck, I didn’t even realise but these pants are Motel branded. Not quite jeans, these trousers are very unusual, with the stripes feeling almost leather-y. They’re high waisted and skinny fit, although I could have perhaps done with a small size as they’re quite baggy around my calves.

As the trousers are such a huge statement, I kept the look pretty similar to my Sports Luxe look (what a mouthful, eh?) and left the rest of it fairly understated. I quite like the way it looks – bang on the monochrome trend and looking pretty slick. This black vest top  from Matalan with a racerback fit is perfectly sized for a slightly baggy, slightly slouchy look; ideal when wearing high waisted bottoms and you don’t wanna look too bodycon all over!

For accessories, I kept things simple, only adding my vintage chain necklace for jewellery. To finish, I popped on my new favourite Louboutin dupes from… Wait for it… Tesco! I know, I know, I can’t get over these patent peep toe heels either, as they are almost exact dupes of the Christian Louboutin Altadama’s which retail at £550. I love the pop of colour the sole gives – ideal for adding a slight bit of warmth (and matching my signature red lips) when the rest of the outfit is pretty black and white. Literally!
