Do you love or loathe the crinkle look?

Oct 03, 2015

Do you like to wear crinkle fabrics? Or do you think they look unkempt?

I like them as they are a totally modern fabric built for the busyness of our everyday lives. They are easy-care and as their name suggests – don’t require any ironing, which in my books is utterly fantastic!

This season is perfect to embrace the crinkle look as it is in tune with the boho chic trend. Let Starts at 60 Style share with you the art of wearing crinkle successfully!

1 Don’t wear double crinkle!

I would avoid this as a general rule as it can go horribly wrong.  Instead, choose one statement piece – like a pant, cardi or a scarf to add some interest to your look.  A cool crinkle summer dress is perfect in an Australian summer!

2 You want obviously crinkly

Ensure that what you have chosen looks obviously crinkly and not like you have been too lazy to iron it.

Some things are best left on the rack – in the shop!  Choose wisely by avoiding cheap fabrics which will not hold their shape and never look good.  Some cheap crinkly skirts can flatten out when you sit down, which spoils the look.

4  Go for colour or a print

Aside from black and white, I would recommend going for a gorgeous bold colour or an interesting print.  Try to avoid wishy-washy colours, they don’t come up as well.
