Lindsay Lohan in white over-the-knee New boots
When we wrote about over-the-knee boots as a 2010 fashion trend, we didn't list white as one of the must-have colours to buy. There are a few reasons for this; white leather often comes off as cheap (even when it's not); marks easily; and has a bit more of a super-hero quality that doesn't always translate well to the streets. Lindsay Lohan managed to carry her pair off without too much drama, though we still don't think investing in white is the best option over a more classic colour.
Spring/Summer 2009/2010
As soon as we spied the stand-out take on the military trend in Twenty-Seven Names' Spring/Summer 2009/2010 collection, we knew we were in love. A budding New Zealand label with a strong future on the horizon, Twenty-Seven Names bring a youthful aesthetic to their work that successfully walks the fine line between underground cool and mainstream appeal.
We adore the simple, almost sporty takes on the sheer trend; and the midriff-baring tops which are great for either layering or solitary wear.
For a hippie-infused casual look there are some slouchy peace-sign print tees, and if you click all the way through the lookbook (which we would definitely recommend) there are a range of jackets - from boyfriend blazers, to the military band jacket pictured above, to a trench-style cape. Suffice to say, there are definitely some pieces in this collection I am keen to get my hands on!
