A bold look can be a style that makes you stand out from crowd, a statement outfit or just you being creative with your clothing choices.
Either way regardless of how you approach your outfits you may not realise you are making bold clothing choices. There are a range of bold clothing styles that are considered to be on trend and growing numbers of people are enthusiastically adopting the look.
One age group that has show an affinity for bold fashion choices is Gen Z. This young generation has sown that they often have different attitudes to fashion and their everyday clothing compared to older generations. Although we are finding that Millennials are tending to hop on some of the trends. Gen z have been found to highly value comfort but also want to express their individuality and wear clothes that reflect their personality.
Having a younger generation that is not afraid to push boundaries or wearing clothes that attract comments from others, have meant there have been general clothing trends that feature bold aspects that people may not have realised they have adopted. While Gen Z may be leading the bold look trend, anyone can incorporate bold pieces into their outfit and enjoy the trend too.
Here are some popular bold clothing styles you likely already have in your closet:
Oversized fits
Over the last couple of decades we have seen ladies urban fashion such as streetwear styles really take off. Streetwear first emerged as a part of hip-hop culture in the late 20th century, with rappers on the scene sporting sneakers, oversized hoodies and baggy style jeans. From there streetwear evolved into a casual fashion trend now enjoyed by millions of people across the world.
Oversized clothes are a core part of streetwear fashion and are a great way to make a bold statement with your look regardless of the occasion. You could pair an oversized hoodie with gym leggings or sweatpants and stylish sneakers for a bold athleisure outfit.
Making an oversized style look good is all about getting the proportions right. So, if wearing one oversized piece you might want to try pairing it with other more fitting items to help create balance.
Oversized hoodies aren’t your only option, baggy style pants, oversized t-shirts or denim jackets are also great for achieving a bold statement look.
Bold colours
In order to achieve a bold look, you do not need to go out and purchase a whole new wardrobe. You could simply begin by wearing something with a bright color. Bold and vibrant colors add an element of fun to your outfit.
During the springtime, you might want to opt for some bright pastel colors such as pastel pink, green, blue or yellow to embrace the season. The festive season sees red become a popular color, but there’s no reason you cannot wear red all-year round. You could even try pairing a red shirt with bright red lipstick for a sophisticated and classic bold look.
You could wear contrasting bold colors together or to be slightly more understated, you could pair a bold item of clothing with other more muted tones.
Graphic prints
Graphic prints will always be in style and there are so many options to choose from. To make a statement, you could wear a text based graphic print with a slogan or statement that is important to you.
Alternatively, you could wear fun abstract graphic prints, or a print based on a contemporary painting that you love. If you are feeling creative, you could even design your very own graphic and have it printed onto a t-shirt or other item of clothing.
Wide leg pants
Wide leg pants can be a real statement piece and have the benefit of being very comfortable. These pants come in a range of different fabrics, including denim, linen or even faux leather. You can dress wide leg pants up with heeled shoes or keep the look more casual with sneakers.
Embellishments
If you currently have a more muted wardrobe and want to create bold looks with what you already have, you could consider adding embellishments to your bags, pants or any other clothing item or accessory. This could include sequins, gems or sew-on badges. The options for bold fashion are practically endless!
As the years go on, we notice that bolder looks are making their way further into everyday fashion. From a simple graphic tee replacing a plain white tee, to oversized clothing making a standout outfit. Bolder looks as the gen z popular grows, will become more and more normal as it matches the personality and vibe of the younger generations and the one even below that one.
