Stylish Younger Siblings

You know we have all been watching stylish celebs flaunt their ways everywhere from red carpets to photo shoots and even street style. You must admit, celebs are trend setters and what they wear becomes cool a second later. Years pass so freaking fast and you find your celeb style icons getting into different phases, then the sibling effect kicks in. I have collected the scoop about 7 stylish younger siblings, to their celeb style icons older siblings. They might even be stealing the show.

At number 6 we have Ali Lohan .. younger sister of Lindsay Lohan
Ali is younger than Lindsay with 7 years, making her practically from another generation. 
Ali has a little bit of both worlds, some kind of a tom boyish sex appeal and fantastic haute couture. 

At number 5 we have Nicky Hilton .. younger sister of Paris Hilton
Nicky Hilton is a fashion designer, an actual talent I may say. Her style is much more polished and lady like than her older sister. 
Nickey is known for her love for trench coats and classic taste, she always adds some twists but nothing too vulgar. 

At number 4 we have Lottie Moss .. younger sister of Kate Moss
She is freaking old enough to be her mom, however they are sister at the end of the day. Kate Moss is 40 and Lottie Moss is 16.
She is now a model, wohoooooooo. It's kind of hard to define her style, because it's a photo shoot at the end of the day. She looks so cute and I think she has more natural beauty. 

At number 3 we have Elizabeth Olsen .. younger sister of Mary-Kate & Ashlee Olsen
I wonder how is it like to grow up with all the focus on your older twin sister, well it's not too bad considering you are much taller and kind of prettier than them. Elizbeth Olsen is just 2 years younger than Mary Kate & Ashlee Olsen. 
She looks more grown up honestly, with no boho chic sign I guess she wanted to rebel in her own way. Elizabeth's style is so chic, feminine and  classic. 

At number 2 & 1 Kylie and Kendall Jenner .. younger sisters of the Kardashian sisters 
The Kurvy & Konfident Kardashian trio are getting older and way too dramatic, the fresh Jenner faces are making much more hits when it comes to style. 
At first, you could see it Kris was trying to dress them like their older sisters. K & K took another turn with edgy style and went more their age, they are totally less curvy that the older batch; however  I think they are much more natural.

Floral Grunge

I am a huge fan of mismatching, whenever there is a style that is like forbidden to be worn with another style I have to try them together. I believe that opposites attract and we shouldn't be too closed minded when it comes to fashion. There is this abundant place in my backyard that I feel like it's very messy and create a grungy theme for any picture. 
This long Cardigan is so 90's and I think we have established that I love 90's fashion and I want it to come back. Since grunge is such a 90's theme I thought this crazy location is best suit for this outfit.
I am crazy about this top, it's great with this boyfriend jeans. It's floral tight and feminine with a baggy boyish jeans, it's just mismatching heaven happening over here. 
This outfit can be great for a day or evening, I can wear this If I am out with my girl friends or even a casual date. 
I think this Indian necklace adds a little bit of tribal edge to the outfit, which is like very grunge. 
I paired my favorite ankle booties with this outfit. They chunky heel adds some sophistication, however it doesn't make it look too feminine or anything. 
Outfit Details:
Floral Top: H&M
Long Cardigan: Splash
Boyfriend Jeans: Random Store in Maadi
Ankle Booties: Zara
Necklace: Al Hussain

10 ways to Style Boyfriend Jeans with Shoes

They are so comfy, yet they are so trendy. Boyfriend jeans have re-appeared in the Market not more than 2 years ago, pulling the carpet from under the skinny jeans legs. I think Boyfriend jeans are amazing for Hijabi girls,  I have seen a lot of Tehran street styles with Boyfriends jeans and Hijab looking very beautiful. They are usually destroyed jeans, however you can get them not destroyed anywhere if you like to be on the modest side of course. I mentioned them before in the Tomboy chic post, however I just feel they can do a lot more than that.
 Because Boyfriend Jeans is such a stereotyped item, how you style is changes everything. The first I usually thing of is, "What shoes should I wear with Boyfriend Jeans?" the answer is simple ... depends. Here is how to style boyfriend jeans with shoes ..


Boyfriend jeans With Ankle Booties


It really depends on how the ankle booties look. Dressy booties polish the jeans, while booties on the more casual side give a dressed down look.
Play with colors as much as you can, I love mismatching and putting bright colors.
I really love dressy ankle booties with thin heels, they immediately make the boyfriend jeans look feminine.
 
Boyfriend jeans With Ballet Flats
Again it really depends on the style of the shoe itself. Mostly they are less dressy than heels, however they can be a little dressy.
Floral patterns, glittery material and all that gives a really girl look which again lessen the toughness of the look.
 
Boyfriend jeans With pumps

You just can't look not polished wearing pumps. wearing any kind of pumps will elevate the look and makes it polished.
I think the dressier the pumps are, the  better they look with boyfriend jeans.

Boyfriend jeans With Strappy Heels
Oh strappy heels, My favorite new craze. I love how you can wear them with anything and BAM looks hot and feminine.
The most polished look, yet very simple is metal accents within the strappy heels.

Boyfriend jeans With Flat Sandals

Perfect for the summer and perfect for a simple look.


Boyfriend jeans With Oxfords

I love Oxford shoes, I just think they look so chic. I also think Oxfords are comfy and nice, paired with boyfriend jeans they polish them while still looking effortless and Comfy.
 
Boyfriend jeans With sneakers

Perfect to wear while running errands, shopping, on long flights or cruises. You will look trendy, casual and your feet will be in heaven.
Of course canvas sneakers like Converse and Vans give a little less sporty look and a more rock tomboyish look.

Boyfriend jeans With Combat Boots

They give a pretty tough look together, more like an army or street gangster look.
 
Boyfriend jeans With Wedges

If you want to keep your style casual, and give your self a little umph then go with wedges and boyfriend jeans.

Boyfriend jeans With Flip Flops

Perfect to look REALLY down to earth, perfect for the summer. I would wear it to the beach over my bathing suit.
 
I am thinking we could do other styling notes for The all mighty Boyfriend jeans, like which tops to wear with them and things like that.
