You may recall my harness dress from this post. I've been flirting with the idea of buying a free floating harness to act as a kind of shaping accessory beyond the standard belt. Something along these lines:
Now one my wander what/where/how in the H is she going to wear that?!?!? Well my friends I think the answer lies in this emerging trend as reported by the NY Times. The turtleneck is coming back and I think its only a matter of time before the turtles and the harnesses start making beautiful music together Like this:
Now this mock up shows how a basic turtleneck can serve as a solid background to a fair-from-basic harness. If you are pairing your turtlenecks with any type of trouser or long skirt (particularly in a monotone look) a harness can not only add shape/definition to a potentially sad-sack look, it also shows that you are taking risk, albeit a small one, but one nonetheless, which turns clothes into outfits.
I also like the idea of adding a harness to an uber girly dress a la Prabal Gurung's Spring 2012 collection
And now a view from the back
This harness can be ordered here from Zana Bayne Leathers.

But for Fall/Winter I think an interesting way to add a harness to your wardrobe is paired with a turtleneck. When spring rolls around you can get a little crazy and roughen up those sun dress with some leathered edge. 
Dear Miss Outfits Not Just Clothes,
ReplyDeleteWould you recommend wearing the three wing harness (http://shop.zanabayne.com/product/3-wing-harness) on the first day of a new job?
Signed,
Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I
Well if that new job is at Slacker's in the South Side http://www.slackernet.com/main.htm the for sures. But no, in general I would warm up your co-workers before attempted a three wing harness.
