When Less is Too Much: A Lesson in Style from Solange

Is there anything remotely cute, or even appropriate about this look? In what dimension/planet/parallel universe does this look good? You have to tell me, because maybe I'm losing my touch. We have an ugly floppy hat from Little House on the Prairie, a sweater that looks like a robe that looks like a rag. Pants with a color so offensive, it should be criminal. Finally, let's not forget the most obvious: Solange thinks a bra is a shirt substitute!
On a side note: I'm all for natural hair, but why would you show up at a Garnier event with a bad fro? Why? Why? Why? Because you're the edgy Knowles sister, eh?

  1. Agree to disagree...

    I actually think this look is very fly! The play on 70's/boho works very well for her. Solange has always been innovative when it comes to her style. She does and wears what she wants, and that self-confidance makes her a "style icon" of sorts.

    And about her fro...what makes a "good" one? In my opinnon her's is BAD-ass!

  3. I was going to wear something similar to work the other day but my brick red pants were at the cleaners. Thank God because a co-worker wore hers, crisis averted :)

  4. @shay - This fro looks like she forgot to comb her hair. My mom had a good fro, without bumps! And I remember it was a lot of work!
    I liked Solange with really short hair or braids...this is not my cup of tea, no.

    And yes you can disagree but...that outfit makes me laugh...still!

    @Tracy - Thank god!

    @Veins of glass - I don't think she's ugly but she tries so hard to be different from her pretty (and very mainstream) sister that she's not always enhancing her beauty.

  5. I like this look! Although it may be more fitting on a yacht on a summers day..lol Bravo to Solange for not following the "norm" fashion trends and creating her own look. I'm also certain her fro is supposed to look that way. There is more than one way to wear them.
