Trend Watch: Comic Book

Comic Book

Comic Book by theclosetbychristie featuring a lined jacket

A very unusual trend that I’ve been seeing popping up all over Polyvore is a comic book inspired trend. I’ve seen everything from bags to tops to jewelry- all inspired by comic book characters and images. These images include superheroes, primary colors, and onomatopoeia. For those of you who skipped forth grade writing class, onomatopoeia is a word that’s actually a sound. In this case, examples include boom, pop, and kaboom. This is a trend that I wouldn’t have necessarily predicted to be a big trend. But in fashion you just never know, so we’re watching this one!
In the above set, I featured a look with a comic book inspired piece. I paired a TOPSHOP ‘kaboom’ crop top from Nordstrom with a pale yellow Rag & Bone blazer and a beige Elizabeth and James silk puff skirt. I love this look because although the crop top is a little alternative in style, the rest of the look is so ultra feminine. The contrast is stunning! I accessorized with black Christian Louboutin pointed-toe heels and a pale yellow and ivory TOPSHOP color blocked crossbody. For jewelry, I decided to go bold to meet the style of the top. I chose a Dorothy Perkins big bangle set and MARNI geometric earrings
