What to Wear to Studio MODA (Women's Look Book)
With Studio MODA just around the corner and all the tickets sold out already, we’re expecting the crowd to not just show up, but also show out. Whether this is your very first time going and you’re doing your research ahead of time or if you're a regular MODA front row trendsetter, here’s a roundup of some inspiration for your MODA outfits this year.
Micro purse and top-handle purses
Ever since Jacquemus made their impossibly tiny purses variations on them in increasingly impractical sizes are popping up everywhere. Even though you probably won’t have room for your phone or anything else in it, it’s a really cool look that’s somewhere between purse and jewelry almost.
Monochrome/Tonal
Yes, it’s been a trend for a while. No, it doesn’t look any less cool than it did however many years ago. If you’re looking to break up the monochrome though, you can add accessories in contrasting colors. Or you can combine colors that are within in the same color family, going for a tonal rather than monochrome look.
Statement jackets
Besides being absolutely necessary in the middle of February in Chicago, outerwear is a fun way to play around with an otherwise standard look. Plus, you won’t be freezing if you choose to go somewhere before or after MODA. (Keep in mind that there will not be coat check at the show, so don’t lose your statement jackets)
Big puffy sleeves
Or big silhouettes in general. Puffy sleeves and excessive amounts of fabric are having a moment right now though.
Blazers or pantsuit*
Deliberately labeled pantsuit* with an asterisk. Pantsuits are a classic, but can look a little boring unless you accessorize in the right way. Take your suit from office attire to something edgier by throwing a belt over the blazer, sporting a statement tee underneath (or lack thereof if you’re into the naked pantsuit look), or using bold colors and textures.
Metallics and prints
Shiny fabrics are always a good move. Specifically, metallic tones in satin or shiny finishes. Animal prints have been big for a while, but can look more interesting if you mix them with different textures or metallics.
See you on February 28th at Studio MODA!
