"Tell me about it, Stud..." (Sandy, Grease.)
The Highstreet is currently filled with studs… albeit of the appliqué variety. Inspired by the Versace SS’12 runway collection (above) where every model was adorned with more than just a sprinkling of golden studs lining their slinky silhouettes, the trend for an edgier, more rebellious, look is now easily available without the hefty Donatella price tag.
I would recommend heading straight to Zara to release your inner fierce… With subtle studded embellishment on many (if not most) of their latest items, this is easily made an accessible and current look for everyone to ROCK. Here are my Zara favourties:
Left: Shirt with Studded Collar
RRP. £39.99
I would wear this shirt with all the buttons done up, with jeans and a navy jumper - Slightly preppy but with an edge.
Left: Studded Silk Shirt
£59.99
This pretty, floral silk shirt has studded shoulders - I love this contrast and it would look great tucked into denim shorts this Summer. On the wish list.
Left: Studded Denim Pop Fabric Studio Shorts
RRP. £39.99
Perfect for the Summer and can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion.
Left: Studded Ankle Strap Sandles
RRP. £29.99
For those a little more cautious of this trend - literally, dip your toe in and ease your way up!
Left: Blouse with Gold Stud Buttons
RRP. £22.99
Also available in pink, green and orange - I think this is perfect to throw over your bikini on holiday - Buy oversized and tuck the front into shorts.
