Americana-It sounds like a coffee, (from starbucks), but its actually a fashion MOVEMENT. Yes. stateside goes global with triple denim layering, varsity jackets, wonderwoman hightops and old school slouchy t-shirts.
It may sound gruesome initially, (i got flashbacks of new kids on the block and clarissa explains it all), but the key is to avoid overdoing it. No-one's saying you have to look like a douche to pull off this trend (it was hard enough adjusting to harem pants). The trick is to either do it in parts, rather than a top-to-toe denim extravaganza.
Think red, white and blue...its pretty simple. red lipstick (she-ra loves MAC lip-satin in rebel), blue jeans (7 for mankind, true religion, or Levis), white wedges and a simple white T. No need to unleash the dungarees, the cowboy boots, or anything that could potentially turn into a disaster.
Think: stripes (we've been doing stripes for years...why stop now), stars (dust off your 2008 star prints), and polka-dots. clean cut, simple, ambercrombie/hollister, Gap Ad circa 1995.
Do NOT think: sailor, cowgirl, 'topgun' or cabin crew.
