Fashion Friday: Tracksuit Trend

Emma

As a lover of fashion I live for the latest fashion trends, though I don’t always go for every trend

But lately I have been loving and rocking the tracksuit trend. This can be rocked up and down, to different events.

one of my favourite fashionistas

You can switch it up by adding high heels and down by wearing sneakers. I usually go for the high heels look as I am a lover of high heeled shoes. The trick is in knowing how to wear the tracksuit and not let it wear you. You cannot wear any tracksuit with high heels, if you going for this look you going to need to make sure that you Do Not wear a baggy tracksuit with heels, you can wear your baggy tracksuit with sneakers.

High heels go with the body hugging tracksuit, and at the ankles it must not be flared it has to be a tight fit. If your tracksuit is long like if it goes down to your ankles you can pull it up a little bit so as to show off your shoegame, but beware not to pull too much and end up having a camel toe. One last thing you need to know about the tracksuit with heels trend is that it goes with certain shoes too, it does not blend well with any type of high heel.

Then we come to the flared tracksuit or baggy I usually rock it with sneakers it goes well with sneakers as it covers the top of the sneakers. But flared or baggy does not mean it cannot be tight, you can have it tight at the right places like hips ,as I tend to think oversized clothes if not rocked correctly it can make you look too big and not flattering on certain parts of the body.

Gone is the era when you only wore tracksuit to the gym so go on ladies rock those tracks and slay

Fashion: Mary Chiwenga

Fashion: Mary Chiwenga

Ok so like everyone in Zimbabwe and the rest of the world I have been following our politics closely, it has been interesting times in our beloved country. It is also where I was introduced to the name Mary Chiwenga, she is married to our vice president.

A lot has been said about Mary Chiwenga but what seems to be people’ main fascination about her is her fashion sense. Before I go on let me say I am no fashion police or fashion expert but with the little knowledge that I possess this is what I have to say for all you social media trolls.

First of all fashion is different for all of us, what I like might not be what you like but does that mean you have to criticise someone because of their fashion choices? So in a world full of tall girls that have confidence issues when I saw Mary rocking high heels and walking tall with her head held high and neck very straight the first thing that came into my mind was all the young tall girls who were ridiculed and bullied because of their heights that they ended up slouching to try and appear short or not so tall.

I was pleased by the way she carried herself and height, she was saying to the world hey world this is Mary Chiwenga I am tall and I am not ashamed of it and yes Gina I am rocking these shoes that other tall girls like myself shy away from wearing.

Did I mention that these internet fashion police wannabes also came for her hairstyle? Well apparently when you have money or when you have made it in life rocking cornrows is a fashion Don’t!! well Mary was rocking those and I personally do not think it was because she cannot afford your Brazilians and other types of expensive hair but this is the hairdo that works for her and what she chose.

So to all the people who had plenty to say about how this lady dresses and what type of hairdo she rocks , like seriously of all the things you could have said or asked about her this is what you took time from your boring lives to talk about? Did you stop and think of all the little girls who are being bullied at schools because of their heights and because they choose not to have their hair ironed out?

What messages are we sending to our daughters when we judge someone based on their physical appearances and the way they do their hair? And let me just say I took time to look at some of the people who were mean commenting her photos and I will say this “Bye Felicia”

God Is Love
