Q- How would you define edgy? What makes a person look edgy? What are the key pieces needed in your closet if you want to be edy?
A- Edgy is one of those fashion words that you can’t really define. Well, I can’t anyway. Everyone has a different definition. There are different degrees. There are different types of edge. You know? For example, I am wearing thigh high boots at the office today. Pretty edgy for office attire but if I headed over to a S&M joint tonight (which I’m not) I would probably look pretty tame.
Just for kicks, lets see how the old dictionary defines “edgy”:
–adjective, edg⋅i⋅er, edg⋅i⋅est.
1. | nervously irritable; impatient and anxious. |
2. | sharp-edged; sharply defined, as outlines. |
3. | daringly innovative; on the cutting edge |
I think definition #3 is best for our case … ‘innovative’ and ‘on the cutting edge’.
The pieces you need in your closet will vary because its a broad category in fashion. For my edgy wardrobe, I like to have plenty of awesomely dangerous/ sexy heels, skinny jeans, leather jackets, plenty of black, black eyeliner, and dark nail polish.
That’s just me.
Totally can do without the horrifically scary picture! LOL Maybe I’m a chicken shit… but still… the image is now engraved into my brain! :
