Lana Wilkinson, one of Australia's most prolific stylists to the stars, has made a bold declaration about a popular fashion item. The fashion queen, who masterminds red carpet looks for celebrities like Bec Judd, Nadia Bartel, Megan Gale, and Zoe Foster-Blake, is not a fan of the humble pair of leggings.
Despite often seeing her clients, including Bec and Nadia, wearing leggings, Lana did not mince words when asked about the biggest fashion faux pas. 'Leggings are not pants,' Lana told The Herald Sun this week. She also added that she dislikes 'taking your shoes off anywhere that isn't the beach or near water.'
This advice may be bad news for Nadia and Bec, who frequently wear leggings in their daily casual wear. Lana previously shared her philosophy on timeless style with Kate Waterhouse on her official website. 'If you want your wardrobe to stand the test of time, I recommend buying classic investment pieces that don't go out of style,' she said.
'Staple items like a blazer, classic black pant or little black dress and denim are always great go-to pieces, no matter what the trends are for the season,' Lana added. 'My wardrobe formula is quality over quantity, 80 per cent classic and 20 per cent trend-based.'
Kate Waterhouse also noted that 'a black blazer' is a 'must-have' in her wardrobe, and 'a good-fitting pair of jeans' is ideal for versatile wear and layering.
Bec Judd has previously shared her version of 'elevated' looks for school runs. The AFL WAG posed in a series of activewear outfits from her own fashion line, Jaggard, with a caption: 'Mum life but make it elevated. I've been living in these five fits.' Among the looks was a grey sweatshirt worn with maroon track pants and a black puffer jacket.
Despite her penchant for dressing down, Judd is also known for bringing out edgy, high-fashion looks for her annual visit to Coachella. She recently declared that she is not 'too old' for Coachella after attending the music festival in California. Speaking on her Vain-ish podcast, she hit out at those suggesting that 'over-40s' should not be seen at the three-day event. 'If you actually go to Coachella, you will see that it's not a young people's event,' the 43-year-old said. Bec also claimed that her generation pioneered music festival culture, stating, 'We created this scene, we were the first attendees of these festivals, and our peers were the first deejays, promoters... creating these festivals.' She argued that the 'zoomer' generation has no right to exclude over-40s from the festival scene.
