I thought I would do something a bit different for this alphabet post and base it around a person. Partly because I find summer fashion posts hard to do because I naturally sway towards wearing dark colours which are not readily available in the summer and partly because it is nice to have a change. So without further ado let's explore Lorde's Style.
Born in Auckland, New Zealand in 1996 with a passion for singing and song writing, Lorde finally burst onto the music scene in 2013 with her debut EP 'The Love Club'. She sealed her fame with her album 'Pure Heroine', which reached the UK top ten. In particular her song 'Royals', from the album, which was an instant hit, reaching number one almost immediately. 'Royals' also gave Lorde two Grammys in 2014.
1. This is an outfit Lorde wore in 2013 and I love it. It is a modern twist on the cute ("kawaii") schoolgirl look. I like how she doesn't let her height (5'5") get in the way of her wearing midi skirts, something that magazines often advertise as being for the taller amongst us. The stripey sock and black shoe combo is great and further proves that a simple colour scheme of black and white really works.
2. Here Lorde rocks a fishnet top and a pleather skirt. This outfit is simple but effective, drawing attention to her on the stage. She wore a similar top in her video for 'Tennis Court', with it working equally as well there. She manages to make the top look youthful instead of like a halloween costume and I don't know many people who could get away with this. Overall it is a brilliant outfit.
3&4. I have included these suits because Lorde has a definite style when on her own stage, generally wearing long flowing dresses with lots of material or funky tailoring like this. I like how she teams her suits with a bralet each time because it brings depth to her outfit. Every piece of tailoring she wears, and trust me there is a lot, is immaculate and perfect for her. Here she looks fabulous in both pink and white, rocking the 'hands in the pockets look' like nobody else can.
