Style Inspiration: LIGHTS


Hello! Hope you are all well. I've done a similar post to this before on Kate Moss but I thought I'd share another style inspiration on my current favourite person, which is LIGHTS. If you haven't heard of LIGHTS before then she's a 25 year old electro-pop singer from Canada.
When it comes to my style, I'm not hugely adventurous. I found a look I like a few years ago and I stuck with it. I'm all about plain vests/tees which I layer under checked shirts and jackets, throw on a pair of skinny jeans and a pair of boots/Vans and I'm good to go. Therefore, when I discovered who LIGHTS was I thought "Holy crap, I love this girls style", mostly because it's my kind of thing. She has now become my go-to fashion inspiration when I'm feeling a little stuck for ideas. Like me she's always in black skinny jeans or denim cut-off shorts. She also seems to love a denim jacket, both pictured are from Topshop (and I own both of them). Crop tops are also a bit of a LIGHTS trademark, often revealing the tattoos which she has on her stomach. Also, oversized shirts and combat boots are more of her clothing loves and she once said "If I'm wearing a flowery dress, I'm gonna feel less like I can kick somebody's ass, then if I have combat boots on", my thoughts exactly ;)
One of my favourite things about her style is that it's very attainable as she is a high street shopper, hooray! Many of her clothing items are from Topshop, Urban Outfitters and American Apparel. Her boots are often from Steve Madden.
It's not just her clothes I love. Her music, tattoos, hair and make-up are also all fantastic so if you haven't checked her out yet, I think you should.

Hope you enjoyed!
Love, Phillie. xxx
