Perforated Fashion Trend – A Cut Above!

I like solid colors and clean lines, but sometimes, they can get boring if you don’t add a little twist. The newest way to add dimension to an understated look is with perforated clothing.

I touched on perforated tops when I wrote about eyelet. Laser-cut pieces with geometric cut-outs are the new, hip version of the eyelet.

Perforated clothes give off a sporty vibe, making you look fresh and youthful.  Plus, all those holes are great for midlife gals who want clothes with coverage (I.e., sleeves) but also want to keep cool.

I found this cute, peach-perforated crop top at Banana Republic, and I love how it looks with my dark jeans. 

I’ve been wearing my top with a nude camisole underneath; that’s one way to do it. Another is to layer it with a colored tank or shirt and leave the bottom hanging out. Often, you see celebrities wearing perforated tops with no lining and just a bra. ( I don’t need that kind of attention, lol!)

I looked on the web to see what’s new in perforated clothes, and here’s what I came up with.  The two tops are similar to mine and cute too!

There also seem to be a lot of white perforated tops out there. This is a lovely white tunic. The perforation is just at the shoulder, and it’s subtle and nice.

Perforated shoes were everywhere. I love this  taupe suede slingback and this pink perforated sneaker. I bet the sneaker is comfy. It’s from Uggs.  ( yes, really!) It also comes in a gorgeous desert sand color and black.

Perforated Bags are an easy way to add some pizzazz to your outfit. There are lots to choose from.
