Ugly Chic - All the Cool Kids are Doing It - a list by jamiem

Options for This Page

About this list:

I am not sure if I am the first to coin this phrase, but I have been using it a lot lately. Ugly Chic. It encompasses everything from revisited vintage trends to new styles that should never have been born - but at the same time, it's all fabulous. From grandpa's old glasses to grandma's old booties, the uglier, the hauter.

Marc by Marc Jacobs 684109 Shoe

First to recommend

Description

I love Marc Jacobs just as much as the next girl - or boy - but these shoes remind me of jazz shoes circa 1989. Available in black or red.

Mike & Chris Madison Cropped Trench

First to recommend

Description

Isn't a cropped trench an oxymoron? It's a bit strange, but it works for me. Mike & Chris leave leather behind and bring us a wonderful summer jacket.

Elizabeth and James Cohen Shirt

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

There's something about this model's expression that just doesn't radiate sexiness - but the shirt can be pretty cute, if worn right. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen bring us a great everyday look with their line Elizabeth and James' new Cohen Shirt.

Bottega Veneta Drawstring Backpack

First to recommend

Description

I thought backpacks were illegal past high school, but apparently I'm wrong. Truthfully, I remember my mother's Louis Vuitton drawstring backpack from when I was younger, and it was fabulous. Bottega Veneta's is stunning and I would proudly own it, if my wallet permitted.

Kimchi & Blue Dolly Shirt Dress

First to recommend

Description

The true test for pulling off the ugly chic look? If it looks like it was $5 at a thrift store, looks better belted, and can be worn with any vintage footwear you own, it's a winner.

Chloé Filao sunglasses

First to recommend

Description

A few years ago, you'd probably find these glasses at a thrift shop and write them off as total crap. Now? They sell for over $300. Chloé Filao sunglasses will draw attention to one's true beauty, as they're quite the contrast to your pretty little face.

Marc Jacobs - Deep V-Neck Mini Dress

First to recommend

Description

Ugly chic can translate to evening wear, too. Marc Jacobs' Deep V-Neck Mini Dress is sparkly and sexy - as bold as the woman wearing it.

Christian Louboutin Sometimes shoe boots

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

1. I will always love Christian Louboutin, no matter what.
2. Please note, even the designer can't decide if it's a shoe or a boot.
3. Perhaps Monsieur Louboutin is giving us a clue with the shoe name - Sometimes. He's encouraging me to imagine the scenarios in which SOMETIMES I would look in my closet and choose these shoes. I'm still thinking...
