When we talk about harnesses, we are talking about a relatively new trend in the world of fashion. So it might be hard for you to know how to fit it into your wardrobe; what to elegantly combine it with and how to style it. So let’s take a closer look at this trend.
First, it is important to emphasize that there is no right or wrong way to wear harnesses. It all depends on your creativity, trying and experimenting. Everyone has their own style preferences. However, finding your personal style of wearing harnesses is not difficult at all.
In order to draw inspiration, I will introduce you to several types in this article.
What should not be forgotten?
When styling a harness, it’s important to remember one important thing – layering. Pieces from your wardrobe that have unconventional shapes, such as t-shirt dresses or oversized pieces, are ideal. Harness can help you to create a beautiful defined shape of the figure and an original and unique look of the outfit in these cuts.
Highlighting curves
Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t wear a harness to accentuate your silhouette even more. You can opt for a tight dress or a bathing suit that will complement the harness. For example, if you choose a harness that fastens at the waist, you can achieve the much-vaunted hourglass figure.
Even under clothes
You can also choose to wear the harness under your clothes. You can highlight the empty neckline under a jacket or give a completely new look to a backless dress. Harness is a tool to revive an outfit – so use it to your advantage, according to your imagination.
Minimalism
Many people in the world like to style a harness in the spirit of “less is more”. In a minimalistic spirit, you can create very interesting, eye-catching, yet very elegant and sophisticated outfits. Nothing can go wrong with, for example, a white shirt in contrast with a leather harness. Also, a plain black turtleneck combined with high-waisted pants complete with leather suspenders are a great everyday choice.
Experiment with colors
If you want the harness to be the highlight of your outfit, consider using colored variations of harnesses and layering them over the top of your outfit. Navy blue, blood red, cheerful yellow or soft white? That’s up to you. If you choose shoes or small accessories of the same color, you will look like something cut out of a luxury fashion magazine.
For all seasons
However, if you want to achieve a softer effect, for example with a light floral summer dress, it is great to incorporate black accessories into the outfit such as hats, pumps, handbags complemented by a harness. You can easily style the harness over a coat, and complete the outfit with a scarf of the same color. You will create a comprehensive, but still visually interesting look.
