The Outfix

May 7, 2014

Double Duty

by Matthew T. Murray


As far as tricky trends go, a bralet tops the list. And while I don't suggest you saunter into the office in this saucy little number, I wholeheartedly advise you to to strut your stuff in these looks this weekend.

When the climes get sweltering, a bralet is perfect for an easygoing daytime jaunt around Central Park or a nifty nighttime look. Sidenote: when tackling tough trends, always dip your toes in with the inexpensive version before diving head-first and spending triple digits on that Clover Canyon bralet you eyed at Intermix. This version is Topshop and it's 18 buckaroos - the equivalent of a week's worth of iced coffees at Starbucks - or what I spend there shamelessly in a day.

For a dainty daytime look, pair it pretty with a sporty-chic skirt (thanks again to the magical elves at Topshop!), trendy tortoise frames, a gleaming silver sandal and a country-chic bag. If you dare to wear to work, I kindly suggest you pick up a blazer from Madewell or H&M to avoid the porno-chic tailspin this trend may veer you headfirst into.

For evening, distressed boyfriend jeans tone it down while pop-art Miu Miu stilletos vamp it up. A colorful and kitschy plaid clutch complements the navy hue of the bralet and a hot pink lip screams with style.
