Runway To Real Way: Hermés’ Western-Inspired Look

Posted by , on August 28, 2012 at 4:00 pm

With frontier pioneers acting as key influence in a number of collections for fall, we're breaking down just how to achieve this looking without projecting your wallet into a black hole.

 

We're loving full, leather skirts for fall. In this trend direction, we love seeing these worn with slouchy boots and a tailored button-down.

A cropped, structured blazer is a necessity for fall. In the Hermés look, the jacket looks both sophisticated and modern fully closed with just a collar peeking out the top.

A simple clutch that won't overshadow the outfit is totally key.

Hats are a key accessory this season. Here, it finishes the look and finalizes the trend perfectly.

A slouchy boot is in full effect this season. We love the additional texture and leather legging vibe when they hit right below a midi-skirt.

Nostalgia is reinterpreting itself this fall. From 1960s mods to romantic Victorians, retro influences are especially prominent. While we may super psyched about grabbing our Twiggy inspired outfits, we’re also hankering to test another huge look for fall — the western settlers.

The key components of the look are distressed petticoats and utilitarian details, and we’re loving the modernization of the look seen in full leather skirts and wide-brimmed fedoras. Notably in the Hermés collection, we see a futuristic note to the rustic influences with minimal blazers paired with slouchy leather boots.

While we’re deciphering how we’ll sport this style, we know that an entire Hermés look is out of the question. Here, we’ve consolidated key pieces to pull off this outfit (and the trend) without breaking the bank.
