Gymnasium Leonhard


I have to admit that I took this picture at home before going to school. Juan knows exactly how to combine casual clothes with elegant accessories. He wears grey tight track pants in combination with black chic leather shoes. He wears an over sized black vintage blazer with two golden buttons. Underneath the blazer he wears a simple marine blue cotton pullover. The elegant shoes and the chic blazer he mixes with the casual pullover and the track pants make the outfit appear much more special and interesting. He throws his long black scarf casually over his right shoulder. The buckskinned bag lightens the rather dark outfit up.

The young woman on this picture wears the popular “nerd glasses“. She wears clunky “adidas” sneakers in combination with grey washed out skinny jeans. At the moment many people combine skinny pants with clunky shoes as you can see looking at other examples showed on my blog. Underneath the blue “adidas” down coat she wears a fake fur gilet. The red scarf fits well to the blue coat. As school bag she uses the very stylish cloth bag on which I already commented in the previous chapter.

The student on this photo wears a grey-pink woollen rough-textured scarf combined with a sweet skirt with similar colours that is frayed. Underneath the skirt she wears black stockings and black ballerinas that are barely visible. The rather short coat has a voluminous cut. The design forms a balloon and the round-formed shoulders of the coat underline this cut. The coat is decorated with three shiny black buttons.
I’m happy with the picture because in the background you can see written on a poster “Fondation Beyeler”, a little detail that I find nice.

On this picture you can see a young woman wearing a classic oversized Norwegian pullover with snowflakes and snow crystal. She uses the pullover as skirt. Underneath the pullover she wears shiny leggings. It is quite popular to use pullovers or big t-shirts as skirt at the moment and it doesn’t matter if the shirt or the sweater is very short because often leggings are also accepted and used as pants. The woman wears a big woollen hat. The leather bag is very beautiful and fits her style.

Jenny Holzer


The Asian woman you can see on the picture is very special and unique dressed. She combines three different green colours together but still they harmonise perfectly. If she had combined similar green colours they would have ruined the outfit. The light green skinny jeans fit the special dark green coat. The coat is quite lovingly processed. The borders are sewed with an intense red coloured cloth that matches nicely the green colour of the coat. The borders give a nice form and structure. The ends of the coat are round which stands out especially when looking at collar. This detail makes the coat so extraordinary. The third green appears in her bag. The style of the bag is very English. The typical English style will be very trendy this winter. Big clothing stores like “Globus” sell this style.
The snakeskin shoes are not that well chosen because since the rest of the outfit is rather special she could have combined it with simple accessories. The shoes as well appear a bit clunky what does not fit to her since she’s quite delicate and small.
I stopped this stylish young couple on their way. The blond woman a wears voluminous fur gilet that she combines with the simple colour black. She wears a black sleeveless silk blouson that is decorated with a bow tie. She stays quite masculine wearing pleat-front trousers. The style that women are dressed masculine comes from the jazz age. At that time women started to think independent. They didn’t want to depend on their men anymore and showed that by wearing short hair and dressing more masculine by wearing trousers. The style of the roaring twenties is quite hip at the moment. She combines her rather boyish outfit with black Minnetonka’s.
Her boyfriend wears black jeans in combination with black chic leather shoes. His white cardigan builds up a great contrast to the dark trousers. He wears a special blue coloured scarf that falls casually thanks to the cotton out of which it’s made.


The woman on this picture combines casual with chic. She wears a simple blue jeans and a rather plain blouson in combination with a very elegant black coat. The coats collar is furred. The cut of the coat is quite simple and straight. She wears black leather boots and a dark bronze coloured leather bag in her right hand.
