Fashion icons for everyday inspiration

Many people have fashion icons, people they look up to for their clothing choices. The difficulty with fashion is that it can be very out there. No one wants to end up looking too Carrie Bradshaw if you get our drift. So at Al Thawadi Tailoring, we have put together a list of fashion icons that can inspire you for your everyday wear.

For the women, we have gone a bit niche, but check each of our muses out and you may see why we have included them in our list.

First of all, Garance Doré – she is a French artist and author who is best know for her fashion blog. Her style has been described as sassy, with an undoubtedly Parisian chic. But as she is based in Los Angeles, she manages to blend more international influences into her outfits that translate well to us “normal” people. Head over to her blog where she also shares her platform with other women you may find inspiring like we do at Al Thawadi Tailoring.

Now if you’re feeling brave and want to wear something loud that will grab people’s attention, then look no further than Helena Bonham Carter. The well known actress knows how to turn heads on the red carpet, but she also dresses boldly in her everyday life. While floral print skirts and neon trousers have been caught on camera, we think her style strength lies in her knowledge of how to make layering work. It’s definitely on trend and the time of writing, and that makes her a firm Al Thawadi Tailoring favourite.

Now onto the men. We’ve gone for way less niche here, but we wanted to give you executable fashion ideas. We would encourage you to take a dive into the fashion history of David Beckham (though not too far back). We think that he has often been ahead of the curve – his willingness to experiment with his style is an amazing asset in the world of fashion. There is little doubt he will remain an icon within the fashion game for many years to come.

If on the other hand you are on the hunt for timeless and sophisticated fashion inspiration, then supermodel David Gandy may well be your man. At Al Thawadi Tailoring, we think that this kind of classic style never goes out of fashion! Whether you are keen to rock the classy gentleman look yourself, or you are looking to purchase something for someone special, checking out David’s latest looks will provide you with more than enough material to work with. His partnership with M&S in the UK which was a success from the start, includes a fair bit of loungewear (which we know is in high demand this year) but if you’re looking to step out in style, head over to his Instagram page.
