When I picture Juicy Couture, it brings me back to the early high school days when everyone had to have the velour and terrycloth matching tracksuits. Juicy was obnoxious to say the least with large velour bags that said “Juicy” across them, or even sayings such as “I like Things.” (My Mother was so confused as to why I needed things with Juicy plastered all over them, but hey she went with it). The one thing I will never forget were the ginormous charm bracelets. I mean these things were so chunky there is no way someone could ever argue that they were practicalo when it came to having to write all day in class. But when a trend is a trend, you pick which pieces go along with your own personal aesthetic.

Vetements is European, Parisian to be exact. Vetements is also basically a design collective to sum it up. The leader of this is named Demna Gvasalia, who previously worked for Balenciaga. Fun fact: Vetements translates to “clothes” and is pronounced “Vet-MAHN” But, don’t go racing to add these items to your cart as they aren’t exactly part of the college budget as you need to drop at least a grand to buy something. What I Do Not Understand: How can Juicy be priced at $129.00 for a hoodie at Urban Outfitters, and then $29.99 on sale at Kohl’s when they look EXACTLY THE SAME… Typically when brands do the whole off-price sector of their brand, you can easily tell the difference just by looking at it. But I must say, Urban does have some more streetwear oriented pieces vs. Kohl’s. I remember the days when I would save up $78.00 at Bergdorfs to get one short sleeved juicy jacket. But, now they are more affordable and reasonable as some hoodies are down to $54.00 at Urban. What Brittany is wearing: She is bringing out street style at it’s finest pairing this red Juicy Couture X Urban Outfitters hoodie dress with some tights. I absolutely love these tights which are also from UO, as they also make you do a double take looking like tall socks as well. The mix of the sexier tights with the more rugged hoodie is the perfect combo. The pop of red also goes perfectly with these Gucci sneakers that she finished the look with. (These she got studying abroad at a Gucci outlet). Overall I give this look an A as Juicy has toned down their look. The “Los Angeles” in the front discreetly is so much better than having JUICY across the chest.
