The classic safari style is back again and Chatelaine‘s Tyler Franch highlights the essential pieces to create this chic, trendy look.
The safari look has been around for years, well, at least since Indiana Jones hit the silver screen. This menswear-inspired trend has a breezy, laidback vibe composed of neutral, earthy tones. This look is a classic — mainly because it is made up of classic pieces.
To get this look, let’s start with the basic palette: a white blouse and a pair of comfy khakis. This will be your canvas. From here, it’s time to accessorize. A safari jacket is a key player in this look, so choose a deep army green colour to maintain that neutral look. Because of this style’s masculine nature, it is important to select a jacket that is big enough to close, but fitted enough to keep that feminine silhouette. For an extra lady-like feel, a jacket with a built-in belt will work wonders for your shape. If you crave a little extra glam, throw on an animal-print or bright hued belt.
To up this style even more, choose a snap brim fedora in a brown shade and a matching bucket bag. The bucket bag is making a huge comeback this season and is perfect for any age and any gender. To finish off your safari look, toss on a pair of heels (snake skin is Tyler Franch’s favourite!). Heels have this magic power to transform a casual outfit into a fabulous outfit. The safari look is easily adaptable to everyone’s own style, so play up your accessories to make it you.
