Street Style: Stylish SS14 Manchester Students

The sun turned up on Monday, but either way, it’s still brass monkey out there. However, it’s never enough to deter Mancunians from bringing their own style to the streets of the city centre. Our fashionista was on the streets of Manchester to capture some brave trends amongst the 18-20 year old students.

“It’s this confidence that divides Mancunian style and gives it identity”

Manchester style offers individual twists on typical British trends. Style stalking the streets of the city centre for just one day it was enough proof that Mancunians know their onions when it comes to fashion.

City girls are definitely not afraid to clash prints. Our fashionista spotted the bright and bold thrown together and carried off with the confidence to match. It’s this confidence that divides Mancunian style and gives it identity.

A ‘we wear what we want’ kind of mentality, which although can be hit and miss at times, can’t be labelled as boring.

Check prints were rife among the stylish masses and it was clear who made the trend their own; adding a textured twist of a leather jacket or velvet shoe. Masculine coats proved popular for a more androgynous look, with the added bonus of keeping extra warm! A big up and comer for winter is Church and State; white collars on black dresses, blouses under jumpers matched with simplistic shapes and cross jewellery, perfect for colour-phobes and flattering for all shapes and sizes.

With so many looks and inspiration saturating the city Manchester the only question left is where to shop first?
