Retro fashion lives and breathes in the style of Solange Knowles!
Let me just start by saying "I LOVE SOLANGE'S STYLE!". Her fashion sense is like no other, she is the epitome of a fashionista. Cause seriously, who else can don a pair of yellow neon trainers with novelty laces without looking cringey to the  max? Solange has the ability to dress in most things and still look fabulous, she can even effortlessly make 90s-kid dream-laces look very high fashion. I understand that not everyone will get her look, but there is something so special about the way she can mix 'n' match fabrics and prints in a way that is just flawless. She is constantly taking worthy fashion risks and pulls them off elegantly. Fashion is all about expressing your own individual personality,  and Solange does just that whilst revamping old trends and starting trends of her own. Its not just about the clothes either, its about the hair. I love how curly and fun her hair is, she is probably the only celebrity who could make me consider cutting my hair and letting it grow all natural. It is also due to seeing her don box braids that has made me fall in love with long box-braids.

Here are just a few reasons why I idolize Solange's style:
1. Ability to effortlessly mix prints
2. She is not afraid of colour






3. She has an artistic approach to fashion and her individual style. This allows her to wear one large print whilst still looking young and fresh, without wearing short or revealing clothing.
4. Retro elegance- my absolute favourite images of her are when she is dressed in a retro style.

5. Embraces various cultures in her style of clothing, whether it be African, European etc.
