pfw street style by fash n chips
one of the less mainstream looks this autumn/winter season has been the pious trend. a look that combines demure hemlines with rich fabrics like velvet and lace. it’s certainly not an easy style to get right, but it’s definitely one we adore! we think this trend is a striking and unique way to show off your fashionable side.
gracing dolce & gabbana, valentino and alexander mcqueen autumn winter 13/14 catwalks this mock modest look is not for unbelievers! it’s all about luxe fabrics and structured lines giving this otherwise prim style a modern and chic twist.
it can be hard to pin down this prim look without causing you to pray for your bank balance’s forgiveness (some of the striking frocks in this style are far from heavenly for your financials), so for our how to today we’re giving you a practical and affordable way of incorporating some of the elements of this style into your daily wardrobe!
one of the primary elements of the pious trend is higher necklines, with interesting embellishments, and floor skimming hemlines with additional asymmetrical flairs. we are in love with this particular blouse and skirt combination.

the gorgeous thing about the above skirt is the striking side slit, which is gives this demure maxi a striking and eye-catching twist. to top off this heavenly look we’d pop on a statement piece of jewellery in white to keep with the monochrome vibe of the pious trend.
