With Style Week Jamaica just wrapping and Caribbean Fashion Week about to commence, it's not difficult to understand why many describe this time as Jamaica's fashion season. Fashionistas will be heading out to these events to take inspiration from the fashions they see, while others will channel their inner fashion goddess.
This week we feature three fashion looks: (i) elegant (ii) sexy and (iii) chic.
Look 1: The elegant look is typically one with a simple silhouette found in a column with the length or illusion of length lending to the elegance. Classic or bold metallic accessories add polish and a dramatic effect.
Look 2: The seductive look often features some skin, which is best in one area only. For this look we featured a side slit to show the leg.
Look 3: The chic look is one that may either work for a young or a mature person. This look is styled with a black belt for more subtlety, but when matched with purple shoes, shows how it may be styled to be more vibrant and youthful.
