Okay, so I’ve been seeing Rihanna’s street style pics everywhere, you know? And I just thought, damn, she looks cool. Effortless but also like she really thought about it. So, I decided, why not give it a try myself? See if I could capture even a tiny bit of that vibe.
First off, I had to figure out what makes it Rihanna style. It’s not just one thing, right? I spent some time scrolling through photos, trying to pin it down. What I noticed was:
- Oversized stuff: Big jackets, baggy jeans, hoodies that swallow you up. Comfort seems key, but styled up.
- Mixing things up: Like, she’ll wear fancy heels with ripped jeans, or a sporty top with a super glam skirt. High fashion meets casual.
- Confidence is everything: Honestly, a lot of it is just how she carries herself. She owns whatever she wears.
- Statement pieces: Always some cool sunglasses, unique jewelry, or a bold bag.
Armed with this vague idea, I went straight to my closet. I wasn’t looking to buy a whole new wardrobe, just wanted to see what I already had. I pulled out my widest-leg jeans, you know, the ones I bought thinking they were cool but never really wore. Found an old band tee that’s perfectly faded. Then I grabbed my trusty oversized black blazer – figured that could work for the high/low mix.
Putting it together was the next step. I tried the jeans and tee first. Okay, comfy, but not quite it. Added the blazer. Better, felt a bit more intentional. But something was missing. Accessories! I dug out some chunky silver hoops and my darkest sunglasses, the big ones. That definitely helped.
Footwear was tricky. Rihanna often rocks heels, but I was just running errands. So, I went with my chunk-sole combat boots. Felt like a good compromise between her style and my reality.
Then came the real test: actually wearing it outside. I felt a bit self-conscious at first, not gonna lie. It’s definitely a ‘look’. More put-together than my usual jeans-and-sweater combo. The oversized fit felt good, though, really comfortable. I walked around town, did my shopping. Nobody pointed or stared, obviously, but I did feel… different. More noticeable, maybe? Mostly, I just felt kinda cool, like I’d put in a bit more effort.
So, what’s the verdict?
It was fun! Definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone a little. I don’t think I nailed the effortless vibe completely – probably takes practice, or just being Rihanna. But I liked mixing pieces I wouldn’t normally put together. The key takeaways for me were playing with silhouettes (baggy is surprisingly wearable) and not being afraid to mix casual stuff with slightly dressier items. I’ll probably try combinations like this again, maybe experiment more with layering. It’s all about trying things out, right?
