Adut Akech’s Approach to a Meaningful Wardrobe in 6 Outfits
Fashion’s finest members, such as top model Adut Akech, are rarely seen in clothes that are unexpressive in some way. This idea behind street style and how it defines personality is what drives these women to craft effortless looks for the everyday, that ultimately reflect who they are.
This means the whole process of acquiring clothes is different as well.
As we continue to grow in the vein of sustainable shopping habits we explore additional ways to minimize our impact, in addition to the best route which is shopping from brands with sustainable practices. Methods like, curating your closet of few pieces that work in a variety of instances and that hold up quality to last, are also ways to shop less and appreciate more. All of these variations of thoughtful shopping, help the unifying goal of lessening the ecological footprint of the fashion industry.
One of our ways to shift the way we shop for clothing, is to take notes from Adut. When she is not on the runway for Chanel or Versace, she’s crafting her own runway in cities around the world.
Statement Pieces in Practical Fabrics
We have discovered that this skirt is in fact Adut’s mothers. Appreciating vintage and styling it so that it looks none other than a skirt off of a current runway, brings meaning to this outfit, and surely contributes to the unifying goal.
2. A Fantastic Holiday Dress
This can be a great tradition to start that will have an impact in a variety of ways. Instead of cringing every time you want to buy a gorgeous holiday dress that you will likely wear once, vow to re-sell it each year and buy a new one. If you keep this tradition going, you are continuously giving clothes another life cycle and keeping your wardrobe fresh at the same time.
3. The Timeless Blazer + Denim Combo
What was most important here was the perfect fit of both pieces. Investing in tailoring pieces like denim and blazers, that get worn frequently for years, will increase longevity and the overall look.
4. Practical Co-ordinates
Adut sticks to a classic tailored suit when wearing two-piece sets. The styling options can be endless for the right pieces. When separated, the garments take on a new life.
5. Fall Pieces in Summer Colours
What is interesting to the eye, is what we don’t expect to see. The masses are quick to opt for those fall colours that we see in our favourite sweaters and jackets, but a more authentic approach is these pieces in unexpected palettes.
6. High-Waisted Dress Pants
You can truly ask any lady who has had the pleasure of acquiring a pair of dress pants that fit them just right. These pieces make their way into your outfits multiple times a week, and offer a gorgeous silhouette if the high-waist hits at the perfect spot.
