Phrase of the week: Street Style

street style:

Adjective / noun

any offbeat or avant-garde fashion inspired by contemporary culture of urban street people

Let's be honest, the real runway is on the streets of New York, London, Paris and Milan.  No need to have fear of missing out on the couture shows because the fashion outside is just as amazing.

Spring Street style trends for 2016:

Fur, metallics, Army jackets,  leather, embellishments, embroidery, complementary colors, and floral patterns
