Try Rita Ora’s Edgy Mix: Fur Meets Holograms
Streetwear pieces like snapback caps, graphic hoodies, and cool sneakers have seen a resurgence in the past few seasons, but they’ve had a cult following for decades. Artists like the ladies of Salt-N-Pepa and MC Lyte set the tone in the eighties by mixing oversized jewelry with slouchy varsity jackets and knee-high boots; in the nineties, Aaliyah and TLC paired sexy crop tops with track pants and high-tops. The early 2000s saw the likes of Rihanna and Ciara in outfits that were equal parts Givenchy and Supreme, and the latest to join the group of glamorous streetwear-meets-runway girls is Rita Ora. The Albanian singer, signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, is known to throw on sneakers, an enormous fur coat, and a backwards cap during the day, and head-to-toe Stella McCartney with holographic accessories for evening. Click ahead to recreate Ora’s look and break out of the idea that sweatshirts and sneakers are gym-only attire.
