THE NEON BEANIE
So I’m 100% sure there will be people who will hate this post, but I’m going for it anyway! I do enjoy London Fashion Week but when I’m asked where I get my style inspiration from it’s never the catwalk… it’s fun to watch but street style is so much more inspirational. I love ‘people-watching’, looking at what people are wearing and how they style their outfits and something I saw LOADS of this season, was neon beanie hats.
As I usually do when everyone is wearing a certain trend, I immediately brushed this one off with a “if I see one more neon beanie hat I might scream”. But typical of me a week later and I can’t stop thinking about the bloody neon beanie hats! This one in particular caught my attention after I saw Andy Torres wearing it around Somerset House.
It’s definitely a bit weird and attention seeking and something I wouldn’t normally go for, but something made me want to try it and then when I did I fell in love. I love the colour, I love the tight fit (the Topshop ones are way too big for me!) and I even like the weird floppy bit at the top that’s just stiff enough not to look like a slouchy Uni hat. I love wearing all black and accessorising with colour and you’ve already seen me do that quite often with my neon green Monki clutch, so this was perfect for those all black days.
It’s a winner in my books and so far my boyfriend has said “NO WAY” and my mum has given it a huge thumbs up! Your thoughts? …. maybe I shouldn’t ask….
