Until a few years ago, celebrities didn’t dare repeat a dress or an accessory fearing the prying eyes of the fashion police. However, appearing in the same apparel at more than one occasion is no longer considered a fashion faux pas. ‘Repeat fashion’ is currently in the vogue and British royal Kate Middleton is hailed as the fashion icon, who made it incredibly popular, and often nails her looks perfectly.
Kate was able to cleverly pull off the elegant Alexander McQueen yellow coat dress, which she had worn at her daughter Charlotte’s baptism, again at Prince Harry’s wedding as well. Her ‘repeat fashion’ created a stir on the social media with many lauding and criticizing Kate’s determination to take a fashion risk at such a high profile event. Anyways, the repeat fashion made trending by the celebrities can be easily followed by commoners too.
Accessories
Accessories add the perfect balance and panache to the looks. Oversized glasses, statement jewelry, trendy stalls or jackets could elevate the style in repeat fashion. Eminent couturiers say that since people would easily remember dresses with large prints or patterns, it is wise to repeat the clothes which are plain. While repeating the iconic jeans – kurta combinations, an antique chain and printed overcoat would make it trendy. Long jackets could be worn with jeans and top. A repeated short dress could be made unique by wearing a long stall to the front and securing it with a trendy belt. The chic look could be rounded off with an oversized bag in hand.
Tucking in a shirt with a lehenga skirt is not only stylish and unique but also a perfect combination of the Indo – Western style.
Makeup and hair style
Simple and heavy makeup looks could be alternatively tried when apparels are repeated. Smoky eyes and bold lips would make your face standout than the dress. Styling your locks into soft curls or a pony tail with one look, and trying a low or messy bun in the next would be a stylish addition.
