This winter, fashion is all about indulging in rich
fabrics, like brocade and velvet, that make you look and
feel expensive. Wear luxe jewel tones and your most opulent accessories.
Baroque is incredibly en vogue. It was all over the runaways at Alexander McQueen and Dolce and Gabbana, and now it's in magazines like Elle Canada and Marie Claire.
The history: "Baroque is a period in the history of Western arts roughly coinciding
with the 17th century. It's also a style that used exaggerated motion
and clear, easily interpreted detail to produce drama, tension,
exuberance, and grandeur....an abundant amount of details....and an overall sense of awe." [source]
So how can you incorporate this style into your own look?
How to wear Baroque this season:
Choose a show-stopping dress in your favourite Baroque print and colour and pair it with modern, sky-high heels and pared-down accessories. OR Wear a glamorous 17th century accessory with neutral pants or skirt and a blouse.
