Skirts on pants?!..........yes or no?

This may be a new trend over the world this season, but Egyptian women have owned this look  for years now. It's a special favourite among veiled women, since they don't have the privilege of wearing short skirts, they came up with the idea of wearing them over their pants.

I've never been a big fan of this particular trend. I believe that a skirt is made to be worn separately as well as the pants, and not to be combined together.

The good news is, for those fashionistas that are willing to try this trend here are some inspirations on how to pull it off!

For a casual non-dressy look, pair jeans and a nice top with a puffy mesh skirt, barely showing the jeans. Loving, the layering in this skirt.

This looks like something to wear at a formal event, when you've had no time to go on your wax session. Wear a chiffon skirt on a pair of dressy pants and a nice strapless top.

This look would work perfectly for work. Specially if you're working in one of those Egyptian conservative companies that don't allow you to wear skirts unless they cover your toes. but this outfit is great for a conservative formal look.

So,I did some research and found some ideas from Egyptian movies, that can be pulled-off as costumes for your Halloween party.

Finally, for the not so outthere women, be inspired by the Egyptian Cinderella Soad Hosny, in this polka dot outfit.

Pulling off the distressed denim look

When a new trend is in, people in Cairo tend to go overboard and you see people wearing or doing the same thing everywhere to the point it sickens you and you hate it.

I've been going out lately, everywhere I turn I see women wearing ripped jeans. They made me hate the trend even though I've been wearing ripped jeans for years now. It's not a new thing, back in the days people would think that you're from some punk/ rock chic or they would look at you as you're dirty or something.

But, now its ripped jeans eeeeverywheere, even old women in their 50's are wearing ripped jeans.
Its become so much, that a friend of mine told me that he had women coming in for an interview in ripped jeans. Which is a whole other story ( U don't even wear jeans to an interview!!!) what are you thinking?

You have to know what suits you best, many trends don't suit everybody. Not just because it's in fashion, means you have to follow the trend and wear it. What you wear is a definition of your style and partially who you are.

So, if you want to be trendy here are some tips, on pulling off the trend. But first, know what suits you best!

Keep it simple.
    Don't go overboard with the rips on the jeans, it's just ugly. If you want to show off so much skin         you're better off without them.

It's nice to show off some skin, but just a peek, keep it classy.

Mix and Match
    Give your outfit and edge, like keep the top formal but the ripped jeans would give the not so formal look to it. By wearing a blazer or a white shirt.

Finally, please please please. Know your fit!
 When it comes to ripped jeans, go for the boyfriend fit or if you want to go for the skinny fit buy ones that fit comfortably so you don't end up looking like this while pulling off the ripped look..
