Let’s face it – Beyoncé is one of the most successful and glamorous women in the world, but her sister Solange is just as amazing. At just 27 years old, this DJ, singer, actress, model and mother is a seriously impressive (and busy!) woman with a killer wardrobe to match. With a flair for colourful and bold style statements, the team at swiish have developed major envy of Solange’s incredible wardrobe.
Solange’s eye-catching style, confident attitude and trade mark Afro hairstyle, have landed this budding style icon with magazine spreads, modelling contracts and a seat in fashion’s front row. In contrast to the stereotypical black fashionista uniform, Solange’s penchant for bright coloured clothing is a refreshing change. From striking canary yellow to a dazzling emerald green, this woman knows how to rock daring, bold colours. Solange effortlessly pulls off this look by keeping her shoes simple and in neutral tones, and wearing a bright contrasting lip to set off the colour of her outfit.
What we love most about Solange is her fearless approach to prints. We’ve dubbed her our ‘Queen of Prints’ for her unique ability to mix, match, contrast and accessorise bold pattern-heavy outfits. Whether it’s separates, dresses, street-wear or red carpet glamour, she manages to pull together enviable outfits with ease. When it comes to patterns, Solange works to the mantra ‘more is more’. She pairs on-trend prints with clashing accessories, statement heels, tonal lipstick, and… well, more prints! And we love it all.
As we always say, the best accessory is confidence and doesn’t Solange have bags of it! Knowles’ works her bold, colourful style from street wear to movie premiere with an extra large dose of confident-cool attitude. This fashionable musician turns every outfit into a spectacular best-dressed moment. It’s no wonder she has a cult following of fashion-obsessed fans. Solange Knowles is a fashion star on the rise – definitely one to watch.
