What To Make Of Aztec...

A recent trend that bombarded the streets of England is Aztec. I'm not sure what to make of it - is it a bit too out there? I like to stick to what I know primarily - however sometimes I think it's necessary to be different and make a change. I went shopping today everywhere I looked I could see Aztec prints hence my inspiration for this;) .. anyways I thought I'd give Aztec a go considering loads of celebrities wore it including Kim Kardashian (and I love her LOL)

I brought a pair of shorts that I could wear on a nice day - here's a picture of them:

I went shopping with my friends with the shorts on (with a black camisole, black tights underneath, black pumps and a tan colour necklace), and it was weird because at least 4 people stopped to ask me where I got my shorts from, so evidently Aztec seems to be a really popular style! If you had showed me a picture of this a month ago, I guarantee I would of said 'Eww, why do people even wear Aztec prints - they're ugly', but now I genuinely think that Aztec is quite a cool trend, BUT it depends on the colours, style of pattern and what the garment is. I googled other Aztec things and I personally think that these leggings are DISGUSTING!!


Seriously, why do people do this to themselves? Maybe it's just me but I would NEVER be seen dead in these (haha).

Aztec prints can be worn in many different ways - on cardigans that you can chill at home in, or on skirts that you could go to a party in; but it's all about keeping it simple. Let the Aztec garment make the statement, and don't clash it with 110 other things that make you look even more bold - like plaid ... What's up with that? Do you want to look like a disco ball of patterns? Teaming an Aztec skirt with simple black heels and a black camisole would be perfect - it's so simple yet so eye catching.

There are some mens Aztec tops as well, not too sure if I would put it on a male though? Anyways that's just me, lemme know what you think - thank you for reading x

  1. I'm not a fan of Aztec at all!! My friends keep telling me to try it as they wear it all the time - your article has inspired me to try it out, but I don't think that I'll like it even then. I feel it's a waste of time. What do you think I should do?

    1. I used to be exactly like you! Try it, what have you got to lose? It's always good to experiment and be creative with fashion! Good luck, let me know how it goes! X
