Petra Collins Style: The Ultimate Guide
Anything flowy, dramatic, somewhat bohemian and edgy but in a dazed kind of way – that is Petra’s style. It’s a little bit ’70s queen who goes to the disco on Thursday nights but it also brings a touch of something haunting. (The haunting touches are not necessary at all to capture the look, though.)
Floral prints are key. Contrasts are also a thing. Sneakers that are dirty and worn paired with long floral dresses – à la Fetish-era Selena Gomez – are something she would go for any day. If you wear fleece lined tights and layer a jacket on top and a hat, this look can work for winter.
For look two, I thought we could talk about prints. Now I know you might be thinking two things. 1. Prints can be daunting. 2. Plenty of people wear prints in abundance, so is it really noteworthy?
In fact, Petra’s manner of wearing prints makes them the opposite of daunting, and it’s pretty unique. She uses jewel tones and chooses retro-influenced pieces that go well together. Her entire wardrobe just seems so curated – in a good way! She clearly knows what she likes and sticks to it.
In the look above, Petra pairs a vintage inspired dot print pussy-bow blouse with navy blue plaid trousers that in theory should scare us off but instead look so darn cute and ’70s chic. I like that this look is polished yet different from your usual combo of a blouse and trousers for work. Anything vintage-inspired and in interesting colors will get the look.
