(Roland Mouret)Slouchy posture may always be a faux pas, but this season slouchy silhouettes are another story.
(Stella McCartney)Effortless slouch apparel was a dominant trend on the spring runways in spring '09 with some of my favorite designers, Chloe, Stella McCartney and Marc Jacobs as front runners in getting the look right. Since then, celebrities have been getting their slouch on, and this trend has been gaining momentum on the streets, making it hotter than ever this spring and summer.
(Stella McCartney)To rock it like a pro it's important to be able to define the fine line between slouchy and sloppy. It might be a no fuss, no muss look, but every fashionista knows it always takes effort to look effortlessly chic!
(Isabel Marant Slouchy Jumpsuit)Look for loose fitting pants, tops, jackets and dresses in a relaxed yet sophisticated style. Pieces should loosely drape your frame. Try to avoid looking like you're drowning in them. Balance is key (although a little je ne sais quoi never has never hurt!). Choosing proper proportions can make or break any ensemble there are no exceptions to this rule when pulling off the slouch balancing act. If unsure, it's always best to focus on one area to avoid looking like a fashion train wreck.
(Dries Van Noten)For instance, try tucking a loose tank into a skinny jean or fitted skirt OR try a slouchy bottom with a fitted top. If up for more of a challenge, feel free to take on bigger risks, and try to work several slouchy pieces. Keeping in mind that it's important to add a shape with the clever use of accessories.
(Givenchy)Actually accessories are very much getting their slouch on this spring and summer and are a great option for people who don't feel slouchy clothing works well for their figure (trust me; it's not for everyone!). Over-sized slouchy hobo purses or an over-sized slouchy scarf always look chic and are a great way to get in on this trend!
