By Angelina Ranos

The world is full of amazing women who do remarkable things. These women are great role models and often make perfect fashion icons. If you’d like to know how to look like an influential, strong-minded woman in 2017, then start following the style of these women.

Alexa Chung

Alexa Chung is a renowned fashionista, broadcaster and a model. She also provides plenty of inspiration for looking effortless, yet chic. Her style could be described as relaxed, yet there’s always something exciting lurking in the background. Chung’s colours tend to stay on the cool side, with plenty of greys and blacks as part of her everyday look. Nonetheless, she does know how to add a bit of colour to brighten her day as well, especially with quirky accessories.

If you want to add a bit of Chung to your style, then you could take inspiration from her simple, yet effective leather jacket and skinny jeans look. The trick is to pick jeans that aren’t quite long enough, but finishes just above the ankle. Combine it with a basic black t-shirt and a funky leather jacket and you are good to go. If you have a bit of money in your pocket, then the Burberry tote named after her is a must-have for a fashionista.

Asia Chow

Asia Chow is another strong woman of the fashion world and she’s definitely worth following if you’d like something a bit more unique and quirky. Her style is feminine and it often offers plenty of contrasting features, from colours to designs. She can be playful when it comes to using colours and often adds simple accessories to go with more lavish and outrageous outfits. You can understand her style better once you realise her style icons are Audrey Hepburn and David Bowie!

Take inspiration for Chow’s look by adding a bit of feminine quirkiness to your evening look. In 2016, she showed up to the LACMA awards in a pretty, pink dress and this is perfect for copying. Find a silky pink dress and pair it with a black belt or a silk scarf. It’s effortless and chic!

FKA Twigs

Models aren’t the only women of style to follow. The world of music also offers plenty of style icons and one of the hottest females to follow right now is FKA Twigs. The singer and dancer has a fashion sense that could be described as dramatic and fierce. She isn’t afraid to impress and her style always has something surprising to look forward to – she has even made distressed denim a great look.

When it comes to taking inspiration from FKA Twigs, her use of culottes is at the top of the list. She’s been rocking this trend for a long time and her outfits are a perfect example of how the style can be fashionable and relaxed at the same time. You could copy her style by wearing a pair of white culottes with high heels and a crop top. If you want to follow her style to the tee, then get an embellished crop top in a raunchy nude colour.

Juliana Awada

The world of politics has its fair share of fashion icons. Michelle Obama has been heralded as the most stylish First Lady in a long time, but she did have fierce competition during her time. Argentina’s Juliana Awada is definitely at the top of the fashion icon list. Her style could be described as subtle elegance, with certain twists. There’s a certain bohemian flair to her style and you can see different fashion eras influencing her style.

What’s the best way to add a bit of Juliana Awada to your look? Her classic style is perfect for your work look. She rocked a navy cocktail dress once by pairing it with a stylish above-the-knee coat. If you got the money, then pick Paul Smith’s Navy Textured Polka Dot coat for your wardrobe and look chic next time you have a business meeting to attend to.

Carmen Busquets

Finally, there’s fashion entrepreneur Carmen Busquets. The brains behind Net-a-Porter and CoutureLab doesn’t just sell great fashion, her own style is an inspiration to fashionistas around the world. The Venezuelan businesswoman has a sense of style that is both determined and fearless. She manages to look elegant while also adding plenty of positive, feminine elements to her look. Her look is always a great combination of luxurious elegance and relaxed high-street fashion.

Take some of Busquets positivity to your own fashion wardrobe with the simple re-creation of her casual look. Get basic black leggings and opt for a colourful tunic in today’s hottest fashion design: an ethnic print. Nomadsclothing.com has a great collection of suitable tunics for example. Now finish off your look with black ankle boots and you are good to go.
