The Chelsea Girl Look

[iSpot]

I really love this style, but I never quite noticed this look when I was in Chelsea Maybe this look is more from the Nico era ? Maybe someone can correct me but I only see Sloane Rangers or save lilacs/flower prints when I'm there

i think it's so pretty, edgy , sophisticated and sexy.

I love it! I also love that red D&G coat w/ white buttons posted a few pages back. I've never really followed this look, but I'll definitely be incorporating a few ideas from this thread from now on! Girls in my school try to do this look by wearing a striped t-shirt, denim mini, black tights (or footless tights) with birkenstock clogs. It's disgusting..they're not doing this look justice, they're just confusing styles!


Dbear I love your avatar, so cute!

Unfortunately a lot of people end up looking like that when they try to copy this look. They just go with what their ideas of this look are not what they really are, which isn't always a bad thing, but in this case it is.

And thank you Shugga, I really like yours too.

Even when the 'chelsea girl' style is out of fashion I'll still be wearing things like striped tees. I don't really care whether it's in or out of fashion; I've always been a big warhol fan.

i agree, now ive got into stripes im sticking with them, i wasnt sure about them until recently and i now love them. What i like about stripes is that there is so many types (even though the emphasis at the moment is on 'prison stripes' skinny stripes, wide stripes, vertical/horizontal, colour variations etc etc

I know this question was already posted, but i want more ideas. What else would a chelsea girl wear in the spring/summer?

 

[skinny_boho]

I questioned it!

I love this style wholeheartedly..
yeah it reminded me of that Andy Warhol movie starring Nico too..(I think somebody mentioned her somewhere..)

there's biopic movie of Edie coming up this year..so maybe it's the major influence..?

So because you asked for more pictures i tried to find more that had something to do with the Chelsea Girl style. Now remember not everything in the outfit is Chelsea Girl but I picked the outfit because it reminded me of tis style. Also since people keep asking what you could wear in the warmer months for this style, I tried to pick out outifts that you could wear during those months. Not all of them are, but a bunch of them are.
