It’s funny to see how we went all the way back from colorful opulence, texture and silhouette to minimalistic black outfits. Undeniably, a minimalistic look saves our lives on a daily basis, makes us look put together, when we don’t feel like it and has always this snobby bobo atmosphere around it that we probably don’t even mind about too often.

At the end of the day, the colors we’re wearing are supposed to reflect our inner self and who does not want to be perceived as the streamlined intellectual that he is.

I guess many of us don’t.

Despite its conformity and shadow like appeal, when wearing all black, it can bring you in a Peter Pan Neverland like situation, where after a while you forget you’re wearing black, you forget you’re actually just comfortable and now you might be asking yourself why your whole wardrobe is full of different nuances of black sweaters and wool pants. It’s like forgetting, that you decided to go minimal for a reason and now you’re just a shadow loving not to think about how to dress, cause it’s just so easy.

This year we need to bring back discomfort.

It’s so easy to implement it, when it comes to sports, our health or something more relevant than our fashion taste maybe, but the way we dress is still not irrelevant, its effect is maybe not seen in your next blood test, but you know deep down, you got to dress more the way you actually feel and not the way your mind makes you think you should feel.

Maybe a long intro on why I decided to go for the most striking turquoise cardigan I could find, but may I say, this color brought back life into my life?

We’re all aware we’re into cardigans due to Mama Miu Miu’s impeccable ideas, a knit that you can take off any moment and that (for now) appears to be chicer than just a wool knit? Yes.

Pairing it with one of my best second hand finds to date (Balenciaga Spring 2018, yes, the good days) a skirt and make it super cliché? Yes.

I found some other versions of the similar era here and here and if you can’t live without black, I force you to have texture and this what we have here.

I love playing with ultra femine, conservative and oldschool types and destroy all their power by using different textures and colors, that’s so fun. And disturbing.

And that what it’s all about. As long as we can, we need to try to disrupt the given, try to challenge the norms we’re used to and bring out something better.

I’m sure this look in all black would have been super chic, but it wouldn’t be exciting right?
