Solange Knowles Marking Her Niche With Style

Being fashionable doesn’t take much with the likes of H&M, Zara, and ASOS. No diss, I like all three online and flagship stores for their sagacious price points while having a penchant for staying au courant. However, style is different from meshing a bunch of chichi pieces together.

Affordability, accessibility, and a team of people are void in the realm of personal expressions vicariously through well-thought out pieces created for a look. Having a knack for panache is an innate sense of being that plays throughout ones choices of clothing, making an unthinkable get-up a notable outfit that somehow works. Yet, as complex as that can be for someone who righteously doesn’t possess such flair, on the right person, even a grey tee and a pair of jeans could make the cut for Fashion Week and be well-received.

Solange Knowles has this thing.

Besides being a mother to Daniel Julez Smith, 7, the younger in-vogue Knowles, 25, sings, deejays, models, and was last month’s British Vogue choice to grace us with her daily ensemble offerings. And I must have drooled from the over-excitement her taste in clothing evoked in me!

As difficult as it was, here are my top ten picks ever of the stylish fledgling name-to-watch-for in years to come.

Simple look with punches of color against muted tones.

One piece eye-catching swimsuit with dancing colors.

Pieces of glamour with different, accentuated textures, shimmering wedges.

Daring look without crossing the raunchy line.

Simple sophisticate.

Perfect around-the-way girl look.

Casual, dressy print. (Peep the wedges though! Goodness!)

Confidently oozing sex appeal (and covered up).

Non-forceful lines and colors.

Classic, pulled-together, chic.
