Street style: Istanbul
London’s got nothing on their chic
Mina TumayLondon is having a stab at spring, but in Istanbul, the softer season has arrived properly. Though the locals don’t think it’s as hot as I do, they’re already rocking the spring style. Today I visited the shopping district of the Asian side, right by the sea, to ask locals about their style.
The robe coat
She slays with the Vuitton.
Neslihan was my favourite out of the bunch. We clicked instantly – we had matching Stans. She said that the most important trends of the season were sneakers (obviously) and the robe coat – it’s not as high maintenance as a thick winter coat, but still keeps you warm on chilly spring evenings.
White trainers
Dem shiny Supergas tho.
Sinem went for monochrome simplicity. She believes that the most important trend is wearing signature and stylish sneakers to complete the look. Totally agreed.
Long coats
The coat is just perf.
I was drawn to Sena when I spotted the pom-pom on her backpack, but she claims the most important piece of the season is the long coat.
Denim
They were the cutest bunch ever.
Cem – in the denim jacket – believes that the most important trend is wearing colourful and patterned statement socks. Cagla thinks anything 80s will do.
Khaki
Oh hai there!
This one’s men. My spring advice would be to wear statement sunglasses and anything khaki. And tote it all around in a small backpack.
