Would You Try: The Sloppy Lazy Chic Trend

Posted by Alexandra C. | Thursday June 27, 2013

Major fashion news: being a slob is now cool.

Seriously. Sloppy, disheveled, hot mess is now a style. And, I'm kind of happy about it. I mean, if I can be comfy and lounge around and still be considered trendy, then I'm a happy (albeit lazy) camper!

Proving that slob = cool, designers showed loose fitting, draping clothes. Paying an homage to grunge (the ultimate lazy fashion), there was plaid, plaid and more plaid on the runway. Not to mention the use of updated, luxurious flip flops.

While I was never a sweatpants kinda gal, I will say that patterns, prints, pretty details and more upscale fabrics make the styles hobo chic instead of simply hobo.

Celebrities have embraced the laid back, lazy attitude as well.

1. Gap 1969 Sexy Boyfriend Jeans (C$79.95)

2. Joe Fresh Printed PJ Pant (C$29.00)

3. Wilfred Lezark Shorts (C$95.00)

4. Joe Fresh Chambray Pant (C$29.00)

7. Zara Combination Checked Sweater (C$35.99, on sale)

8. Brandy Melville Finn Knit (US$55.00)
