The Revolution of Paisley

Paisley is one of my favourite fabrics. If tells stories, it's full of colour and most of all, it's easy to find in a charity shop. However, you can either look amazing in Paisley or look like your nans carpet.

Why Paisley?

Paisley is a very brave design to go for. The typical paisley shirt Is full of different colours and drawings that stand out on their own, no need to worry about matching jeans or skirts. You have to be confident wearing Paisley, just think fuck yes I am in Paisley and I look fucking amazing.

How to wear Paisley (women)

Women can style Paisley in two ways.

The Paisley dress is slowly but surely becoming a popular choice in high street shops. Team with thick black tights and dr martens and your basically the new Alexa Chung.

The Paisley shirt is something that charity shops are known for. Go baggy and tie it at the waist to get the "I might look like I have no future but this shirt is important" look or wear it quiet fitted with a black denim skirt (and once again dr martens or perhaps black loafers) to have that 60's band groupie look.

How to wear (men)

For men you have to be confident and not think oh no the #lads at footie will think I'm a right one. Think Miles Kane, think Liam Gallagher, think George Harrison. Wear with dark coloured jeans, desert boots and a parka and you will look, as they say, smart as fuck. Thanks to pretty green, Paisley shirts are now more easy it get hold of, unless you like rooting in vintage shops for hours like myself.
