So, the word 'glamour' has transformed over the years and become something we may not necessarily want to emulate. However, thanks to brands (particularly well-know beauty names - cough cough Charlotte Tilbury) adopting the term 'old school glamour' over recent years to showcase ultra feminine, bold collections, the word 'glamour' is falling back into the good books. Combine that with a little talk of Marilyn Monroe, a sprinkling of celebrities dressing as old Hollywood stars for Halloween and a splash of some of the best wavy hair tutorials Instagram has ever seen, and you've got a pretty decent argument for embracing old school glamour. You want to go all in? Easy. Triple the size of your hair and flash a cleavage. But what about when you just want to bring elements of the style into your everyday life - without stopping traffic? Hmm....
The beauty of any style is that it will be interpreted differently by everyone. Personally, I feel as though old school glamour screams of femininity and sex appeal, with an air of aloofness. It's this very reason I added a pair of sheer gloves to my accessory collection this season. Will they keep me warm? Hell no. But if you hadn't noticed - that's not at aaaall when this style is about. The summer equivalent would be a pair of slim cat eye sunglasses, or an oversized sunhat with gold-tone hardware. Catch my drift? Interestingly, there's something historically sexy about sheer gloves. Perhaps because they hint at what lies underneath. I mean, sure it's just a load of fingers and 90% of my legs are on show anyway - but what are the gloves hiding?1?! Joking aside, it's an undeniably feminine way of injecting your #ootd with some old school glamour.

Forget the transparent strappy sandals and platform pumps, this style is all about elegance. My new favourite addition to my shoe collection? These Ilari black suede pumps via Moda in Pelle. The pointed toe will always be a fail-safe option and ten thousand times yes! to the heavy embellishment at the heel! These pumps give an entirely new meaning to ''take me as I am, or watch me as I go'' - such a statement! The entwined gold-tone floral metalwork is completed with gemstone detailing, making them the perfect evening shoe for special occasions this festive season. Once again, this is another contribution to achieving the old school glamour style. Ultimately, it's about feeling feminine, sexy and entirely in control. And what could be better than that?!

Thanks to Moda in Pelle for working with me on this post!
I am ALWAYS for the old-school look. If I had the money, my wardrobe would be purely dresses, and all with that vintage, 40s, 50s vibe. The feminine, graceful, sexy undertones that came from that era are everything!! I love this look you created; the gloves, ugh, they're perfect. And the ruffle top from Ralph Lauren is the perfect touch x
ReplyDeleteOld school-glamour isn't about flashing cleavage.
ReplyDeleteQuite the opposite, in fact.

Yes to glamour!! I think we've gotten very far away from taking care of ourselves and embracing a bit of fun and decadence. I think for some, it causes them to feel down about themselves but, glamour can be a bit of self car really. These pictures are stunning x
ReplyDeleteThe gloves are cute but oh my goodness those heels are stunning! Glamour indeed, what a beautiful design! :)
ReplyDeleteHope that you are having a great week! :)

Love your gloves! :) You always have the best outfits
ReplyDeleteOh wow, those heels are something else! How utterly gorgeous. Completely agree with you with old school glamour. While I'm never going to feel confident enough to go all out, I love adding little touches to outfits, even as small as a vintage red lip.

I'm down for old school anything. I love nostalgia & vintage vibes. I like following vintage accounts for inspiration too. Your gloves are très chic. :]
ReplyDelete// all the best,

old school is always a good idea! In fashion I am a fan of the grunge 90s look but in photography I can go further away to the 40s with those amazing mechanical cameras(:

Couldn't agree more. I'm inspired by Historic fashion that is for sure. Coco Chanel for example, elegance and so incredibly chic.
ReplyDeleteI love your pretty elegant gloves they look so chic on you.
