When it comes to Marmite trends, surely there’s nothing more divisive than fashion’s current obsession with everything Western.
As part of a generation that grew up on a steady diet of Hannah Montana, I’d thought that this look was something we’d left behind us but no.
You can’t move in shops right now for cowboy boots, fringing, frilly blouses, denim jumpsuits and other pieces that Miley Stewart would be proud to own.
The key to pulling it off it to keep it simple and pared back – wear your fringed jacket with a neat pair of trousers and runners rather than baggy jeans or you run the risk of looking like an extra in Brokeback Mountain.
We’ve spotted a shirt in Zara that we reckon makes a perfect gateway piece for incorporating the trend into your wardrobe.
This is just €15.99 and thankfully is less Milky Bar kid and more ‘I work in fashion PR’.
We reckon this is a great way to refresh your work wardrobe as we move into the warmer months; a subtle nod to the Western trend that, depending on where you work, should go with lots of what you already have.
