On the opposite side of the globe, the fashion-forward youth excitedly don layers of warm wool, soft scarves and thick coats to welcome the winter wonderland. Here in the tropics though (as we won’t be expecting snow anytime here), we still happily celebrate the season of cool with our own chic Fall-Winter fashion. Helping us get dressed this season is the style leader in casual apparel, AEROPOSTALE.
Today’s style bloggers Johan Aguilar, Chinchin Obcena and Crissey Si show you how to make a statement this holiday season, and lead the way to the most fashionable and most memorable Christmas yet!
Not-So-Typical Guy Next Door
Men can still be stylish without being branded a metrosexual as shown by Johan Aguilar this holiday season with the Hall Pass Collection. Johan loves the collection’s masculine palette of varsity colors such as classic red, blue and golden yellow accented by aqua and greens. For a more interesting take on the trend, varsity accents are presented with updated fabrications and color ways. Stripes are clean and classic, while animal prints and hounds tooth both add a conversational twist.
For an outdoor Christmas rendezvous, Johan looks to the Autumn Rush Collection. Travel and camping strongly influence the collection, as seen with selections such as fleece and flannel, having a color palette of sunset and autumnal hues. Plaids are abundant, graphics are influenced by nature, and global prints are more colorful.
For an ensemble that inspires more spunk and attitude, the Seattle Sound Collection is a sure style win.Yellow, tinted green and rich berry set the tone of this collection. Texture continues to be a big influence as seen in the short sleeve knits and woven pieces. Dip dye and tie dye washes sit well together, while plaids are represented in different types of prints.
Fab Females
For the holidays, Chinchin Obcena and Crissey Si keep it fun and youthful with the Aero City Collection.This boho chic collection keeps the free spirited, cool girl in mind with its selection of edgy knits and delicate prints. To add a modern twist to the collection, new silhouettes such as printed flare denim, a duster vest and high-low tanks have been added. From the flirty shorts to the flowy skirts, each style is uniquely designed for any girl who wants to stand out and create a statement.
Taking the same bohemian vibe and blending it with an English combination of romance and sensibility is theBloomsburg Boho collection. Crissey and Chinchin delight in the collection’s cozy sweaters and knits, as these can be dressed down with menswear-inspired textures to create diverse looks. The collection emphasizes greys and browns that pair nicely with a range of pinks and teals.
Getting ready for upcoming holiday parties, Crissey looks to the Magic Carpet Collection. Inspired by the adorning art of Morocco and Persia, each piece is a holiday must have with its ornate decorative tile inspired motifs and hand-painted florals, and a color palette of rich reds, paired with ceramic blues and olive tones.
Chinchin knows that she’ll never be caught underdressed with the 60’s themed comfortable and chic ensemble from the Northern Lights Collection. Nostalgic prints and florals are highlighted in loose fitting kimonos and sweaters, paired with slim fitting denim. More layered looks with a focus on red, navy and olive colors are created with military detailed bottoms and cozy cardigans, mixed with feminine tops and dresses.
While known for its easy, casual and laidback style, Aeropostale will still help you stand out with their fun, fashionable pieces. This season’s must-haves not only look great as part of your holiday wardrobe, but will help you look fashionably on-point all year round.
