Fancy feathers? Yes, please!
Feathers have played a significant role in fashion, from ancient Egypt to modern-day pop stars. Cleopatra was known for her dramatic headdresses, while Lady Gaga has incorporated feathers into many of her iconic looks.
Plumes add texture, color, and movement to garments and are often seen as statement pieces in fashion. Whether you prefer subtle accents or bold feathered accessories, there are many ways to incorporate feathers into your wardrobe and create a unique and fashionable style.
Last weekend, I carried my marabou feather-trimmed black fan purchased from Etsy for my annual black-tie event to cool off. Unfortunately, I still experience hot flashes.
In last month’s red carpet Met Gala fundraiser, I saw others flaunting their feathers; for one, Viola Davis’ stunning fuschia custom Valentino.
Another strutting their feathers is the former tennis player Roger Federer’s wife, Mirka, in a frothy light pink long-sleeved dress.
By now, you know my style reflects bold and feminine; in my collection of feathered looks, I have a selection of Sleeper party pajamas, a few poplin button-up shirts with feather-trimmed cuffs, and a feather skirt.
Not ready for a full-on avian experience? Try flirty ways to have fun with feathers in your wardrobe, purses, fascinator hats, or wristband cuffs. Etsy offers an excellent selection of feather accessories.
Even though J. Crew declared bankruptcy, and Jenna Lyons left in 2017 as the creative director; I still shop the site for elevated classic pieces like this feather-hem shirt dress which sold out.
Bold or subtle, is anyone else embracing the feather trend? Do tell
I wish you a happy week. Thanks for stopping by.
