There’s no need to resign style to be comfortable

I hear it time and time again when it comes to style advice for feeling comfortable during a trip: wearing sports sneakers for walking around, get your leggings and white tee, bring your simplest clothes so you can coordinate easier… while all of this works for people whose style tends to gravitate more towards basics, it doesn’t really do much for those of us who prefer more complex and intricate pieces, like the ones I’m going to show you in this post.

Here’s what you need to know about the clothes and shoes I brought to my trip:

I) I wore a basic grey melanged tee only once (and I had brought a white one but that was left behind in the suitcase).
II) I didn’t bring any sports sneakers with me. Unless you count the Adidas Superstar, which are more of a casual, trendy piece.
III) I brought lots of printed and patterned tops, contrary to popular advice.

Without further ado, let me show you how I styled my looks during my week in London as a form of inspiration:

I will be the first one to admit that this look only make it 15 minutes outside; it was too chilly to even wear OTK socks.

BUT, I have to say that over the knee socks are perfect when you want to wear a skirt and still want some warmth on your legs (and you haven’t thought of tights LOL).

I’m wearing

Baker boy hat from Primark
Gryffindor scarf from WBTour
Mustard blouse from Zara
Courderoy jumper from Zara
Denim jacket from 47Street
OTK socks from Todo Moda
Gryffindor sneakers from Primark

This is probably the simplest outfit I wore during my stay in London.

But, as you can see, the individual elements that I wore to put the outfit together are everything but basic. The wide leg high-waisted pants were perfect for the fishnet T-shirt with lace I wanted to wear so badly (plus it was really warm that day!).

I’m wearing

Baker boy hat from Primark
Fishnet T-shirt from Zara
Brick colored pants from Pull&Bear
Lacey socks from Scombro
Adidas Superstar sneakers from Adidas Originals

This outfit deserves tons of attention, because LOOK AT THE SHOES! This is proof that you don’t need to wear sneakers all day in order to be comfortable and be able to walk around a lot! And, even though my Stockholm looks aren’t showcased here (mainly because I totally forgot to document them), you can see from my Stockholm Travel Diary post that I wore gladiator sandals as well.

I’m wearing

Denim jacket from 47Street
Grey melanged T-shirt from TEX Argentina
Floral summer dress from Forever21
Socks from Primark
Platform vegan shoes from Sofia de Grecia
Black hat from H&M
