Matchy Matchy may be rather predictable and bleah… BUT I suppose we can still have fun with it, right? My favorite matchy matchy looks are any bottoms (skirts, shorts, trousers) paired with a cropped top or even better, a bustier. A look that sort of reminds me of 1950s French Riviera & Sophia Loren. For a more business/office, smart look it’s now OK to pair printed trousers with the same print shirt, OR even worse better with a blazer. Now this, I’m not really feeling… though I know that the deux-pieces concept is supposedly gaining terrain right now… I don’t know. Yet. Here are a few street style looks that seriously make me reconsider this trend:
This one color head-to-toe was a big thing last spring as well, and to be honest with you I don’t even know what the big difference is between the monochromatic trend & the matchy machy one in one color… Anyway the idea is to match your bottoms with any type of tops: blazers, shirts, bustires, blouses et ell. Get creative… we so need to with this super coordinated trend.
I am absolutely in love with this trend. Great pics <3

I’m really liking mathy matchy in the pictures, but I dont think I could pull it off.. or a lot of people for that matter… But a well written post with many a question asked and answered.

Thank you Kristy! happy you enjoyed it :) xox
Your first paragraph hit it on the nail! I’m okay with some of those outfits, mostly the ones where there’s less fabric and when they’re on a 6ft model…. Mostly I feel like my brain can’t handle the onslaught of print.
haha! so true so true Caroline, toooo much print :)
I am loving it ! Great street style selection !
