TREND REPORT | STUDS & SPIKES ♥

Hi everyone! A new seaon has come w/ new trends & to be honest, it seems that we will have an amazing winter this year with all those studs & rock inspired clothes!
I've decided to write about new fashion trends - whats new this season in a few posts - i divided them 'cuz they are many! At this post, i'll tell you all about studs & spikes!

This season - autumn winter 2012-2013; we'll be seeing studs & spikes everywhere! Almost every brand has studs & spikes in their new collection and i mean everything! This season, we'll see these at bracelets, scarves, shorts, tops, jackets, leggings, hats, boots, shoes, bags & even at sunglasses! 

Season's rising trend 'Rock Chic' look is accessorized with more studs! So be ready to seeing these everywhere! You can rather buy or even do it yourself! You can buy studs from internet too.. I personally love studs & my autumn/winter closet is almost ready; full of studs & amazing new stuff - you'll be seeing me wearing them alot at my blog posts.. Until than, lets have a look on how you can use or combine studs & spikes..

Shorts? Love wearing them at Cold..
Well at summer, we used to wear them alot but as the weathers get colder, it seems that denim shorts will stay in our closets & instead of them, dark colored ones will be used this season. About the colors, we'll see black, galaxy designed & maroon colors everywhere! About the material; velvet, leather & satin is used. Some might have studs but just a little, dont exaggerate studs at shorts - keep them simple as possible as you can.

Here are some examples on how to combine them: But you can easy wear them with socks & pantihose combined with biker boots! Cool, isnt it? :) 

I know these shorts at the pictures dont have studs but its just an example on how to wear them; imagine that they have some studs on them in addittion, lol :D

Biker Boots yaay! :D
I'm in loveee with all of them! Jeffrey Campbell or other boots.. They are all amazing & compared to shorts; exaggerate studs at boots! You can also diy at home, and if you do; dont even miss an emply spot; just put another stud! More is better! :D

The material is usually leather or suede. Color is black, brown or nude.. But avoid using nude & suede ones at rainy weather; you dont want to ruin them right?

Me wearing my Storets.com studded boots :)

Well neon trend isnt over yet but it is less used.. But here is an amazing neon studded boot that can light up your day! :)

Studs gone crazy; shape isnt important anymore and here are skull studs! :))

A different backless wedge.. You probably wont wear these but just wanted to show it anyway!

And here is the model i L-O-V-E!!!! I've seen these type of boots at Bershka, Pull & Bear, Stradivarius & Zara with affordable prices!

Color maroon is one of the It colors of the season.

You can combine these boots with anything you want! Leather pants, leggings, shorts, skirts, dresses, pantihose or etc.. These boots get along well with darker colors..

But if your boots are light colored like shown below, why not combine with white? But black is always better :)

For nighttime, there are pretty girly ones too. You can wear these with your little black dress..

Sneakers & Flats

Converse shoes are great example for this trend. They get along with anything!

They'll add a sporty look & you'll also have the 'I wear what i want, i dont care what i wear, i dont follow the trends, i create them - but still look gorgeous, i guess i'm naturally cool' look! :D But please dont be girly or too much fancy; 'cuz you might end up looking wannabe!

When you wear converse type shoes, you have to quit the look 'Girly or fancy' and focus on the look 'Relaxed, comfortable, rock & even metal'. Imagine this look: Converse shoes combined with glittery dress & a pretty bag! A big no! Stay on the cool zone & if you wear Converse (studded or not) try to look least fancy.

There are some girly studded sneakers too. Now you can be fancy! Here is an example picture given below.

About loafers; they can be worn with both fancy & non-fancy clothes & accessories. You are the artist, just use your imagination & create the most suitable look for yourself!

You can find studded loafers at Zara, Steve Madden, Romwe, Oasap, Bershka, Pull & Bear, Stradivarius, etc..

Loafers are more girly compared to converse or other sneakers (studded or not). But still has the rough look; so when you wear loafers,stay away from floral or geometric designs.

Leather & Denim Jackets

I love this part of the post.My closet is full of studded leather jackets! :P

Anyways, if your style is already punk, goth, rebellious, metal or etc., than you are lucky; and this means you know how to combine these with. But if you are new to these type of jackets; well lets see how you can wear them :)

Before we start, you have to choose one answer below:

1) Recompense 'cuz its my lifestyle!

2) I'm wearing these 'cuz they are trend now! :D

These have one thing in common: no matter what your style is; as soon as you wear these jackets; you are no longer girly!  (I mean you wont look preppy, fancy or frilly) Be ready to your new look! Of course you can combine these with any type of jewellery or accessories but just make the balance. Cuz there is a thin line on being 'Stylish' or 'Wannabe'

These studded jackets that are shown above & below are more girly ones.They can be worn with golden bracelets, girly necklaces or earrings; chic bags.. etc..

You can wear these with dresses, skirts, anything that matches - but keep the design simple. You wont want to look so mixed right?

Sorry forget to mention about studded vests: these vests look amazing with white shirts!

But this type of leather jackets need a bit less fancy accessories & jewellery. 

Do NOT wear mixed patterns. Wear a plain shirt under your studded jacket.

Another rule: If you wear golden studded or spiked jackets; never combine them with silver accessories.

The same thing is valid with silver studded jackets. Just maintain the color. Dont go out of the tone.

There are denim jackets too! Well these ones are also the jackets that you must stay away from the look 'Girly'.

These pictures are great examples on how you can wear these jackets.

But no matter how you combine these with, just stay away from complexed look; stay simple. The more you look plain & simple, the more stylish you'll look. And people will go crazy & think how you look amazing without any effort. Just think Kate Moss; she looks flawless in any situation; she is cool, sexy but always stylish with the 'Rock Chic' vibe.

And some bloggers:

Be prepared to be a Rock Chic this season! :)

Bra & Corsets: Hello dear, let me hug you! 

Hahah, i never thought studded bra's had a purpose! But now you know! :P

Okay, lets be serious and talk about styling these bra's :D

First time i see these, i never thought i'd love them but after seeing people rocking these bra's, i changed my mind! They were awesome! Here is a girl who used this bra perfectly. No breast is shown, classy & trendy look. Love it! 

I guess none of you think wearing these over normal bra's, right?! :D

They can be used as corsets too.. Oh and btw, i guess you have to have smaller breasts to use these bra's properly, or else it'll be too much eye candy! lol

Well, i'll make a styling post wearing this bra soon! I have no idea how to combine it yet, but i guess i'll find out or steal the style of the girl at the first pic :D

I Need more Bags!

A woman can never have enough shoes & bags... I want them in all colors and it'd be better if they have studs on them this season! :)

You can be girly as much as you can with studded bags!

There are no rules this time; you can combine these bags with anything or any pattern you want! But just dont forget this rule: silver studs - combined with silver accessories & golden studs - combined with golden accessories!

As long as you obey this rule; you can even wear this bag with a floral dress!

Here are some classic models that have studs on them. J'adore nude color & if you are going to work, you can esily combine this bag with your nude, black or red high heels. If you have a classic look; combine this bag to add a difference to your look & be the prettiest chic among your friends! ;)

I told you, you can even wear these bags with floral designs; here is a perfect example: Floral dress, jacket & studded bag. A very nice chic look!

Hmm neon's are still hit this season; but not as much as it was before. So its better to use 1 vibrant color at the whole look. Maybe a neon studded bag can completely change your look & mood. 

Oh! Isn't this neon bag amazing?! :)

Houndstood & studs.. Hmm i didnt like this combination so much, it is too much.. Keep it simple.. It's the golden key to perfection.

I am in love with this bag! This combination is missing only 1 thing: a studded leather vest or jacket! But still gorgeous anyways :D

Oh la la!! Here is a chic studded bag! Glamorous!

Oh i'm going to die; J'adore these bags & clutches!

A very chic clutch for a party! I can imagine myself with this bag; wearing a little black dress & golden heels! Oh la la! <3

And here is another bag for daily use.. Pff, let's hope this stud-spike trend lasts for many seasons; cuz i'm about to diy studs everywhere! :D

Arm party w/ Jewellery & Acessories

Studded or spiked bracelets are soo easily combined! Eventhough these type of accessories are cult items of Punk or rock style; you can wear them with everything. You can get them from Romwe or Asos.

Also as jewellery; studs are everywhere like rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces or hair accessories.

What do you think about this earring? Not my style but looks nice :)

This earring reminds me of fairies :D

Oh i love this hair accessory! Perfectly covers the hair bun!

And if you dont like hair buns; here are different hair accessories:

There are no rules at arm party; silver & golden tones can be matched! Just avoid combining them with any other studded jackets or boots!

This picture shows how you can be elegant with studs - black, nude & studded bracelet.. Doesnt look bad; actually added a touch of style!

Other studded stuff that i was too lazy to categorize, lol :D

And now, all other studded stuff is here! Have you thought wearing a studded cardigan? Well, this season there are no rules & taboos; studs rule the world! 

Cardigans + studs = I never thought i'd see these two together; cuz they have completely different styles.. Until now! It doesnt look that bad, does it?

Leggings + Studs = If you combine it with simple boots and top, go for it! Still looks cool :D

Collar + Studs = They are in 2 types:

1. You can easily put & take them off; like necklaces.

2. They cover the collar of the shirts.

They look amazing stylish; i suggest everyone. If your daily work outfit needs a touch of difference, just diy the collar of your shirt! 

And here are more pictures you to get inspired; i also attached a video:

And the DIY studs on Collar video:

I personally prefer the shirts that has studs on their collars; seems more normal to me :D

Hmm nice spikes at the sides of pants..This is a different place to put spikes..

Spikes at the knees.. I'm not sure if this looks nice.. But sure it'll be usefull in a fight; perfect for self defence!

Oh i didnt like this one. Actually what is the purpose of this? No comment..

Spikes at the side of the jacket.. Well, if you dont like studs at the collars, you can give a chance to this one too..

Here is a studded backpack.. Nice idea.. If you are going to school that has rules on what you should wear or not; the only place you can put studs is a backpack! :)

Woahh! Spiked hats.. That's too much for me! I'll pass it..

Spikes on collars, nice look.

Spikes on cardigans, i've mentioned these above..Looks nice :)

Shirt + Studs = I'm lovin it! Just keep the rest simple!

And this is the end of 'Studs & Spikes' post. Hope you like it & was helpfull. Next week, i'll continue 'Fall - Winter' trends with another post too. Until than, enjoy the post & dont forget to comment. Love you all my readers & followers, 

xoxo,

Paris..
