BEAUTIFUL IN BAROQUE

Baroque is elaborate, eccentric patterns often embroidered on clothing.  This creates lush details in your clothing.  The pattern grabs your eye.  The drastic contrast detailed gold stitching on lavish, black fabrics boasts luxury at its finest.  Baroque can be found all over on pants, dresses, and tops but look for baroque detailing on jacket sleeves and pockets as well.  This has been a huge trend in fall and winter 2012.  This trend works for all ages and styles, subtle to bold & brash.  For women with subtle style, try a baroque print on pants or a skirt.  Pair a plain colored blouse or sweater with this.  

Naaem Khan represents the trend in this luxurious cashmere top. $2,390

Pants and denim in a Baroque pattern are made in a slim fit as a  pattern can accentuate your size.  Wearing it in a slim fit makes you appear slimmer.  Look for a smaller/petite pattern to make you appear slimmer or those with long legs or who want to show them off look stunning in bolder prints.
