The WAG’s

The WAG’s (www.fashionwag.com)

WAG’s are a cultural tribe in themselves and will always have a following of fashionistas!  This is mainly because of their over the top and statement dress sense as well as their attitude to the fashion world.

WAG was a term first used to describe the wives and girlfriends of the sportsmen in an innocent manner, this innocent manner didn’t however last too long!  The term WAG then became known as a label to describe someone that was shallow and consumerist as well as A-list obsessed!

Now however this term has been re-vamped once again.  WAG’s are no longer simply the A-list obsessed wives and girlfriends; they are woman in their own right!

They don’t rely on the wages of their husbands and boyfriends; they instead make their own names for themselves.  These names come in the shape of singer’s, models, clothes designers and perfume connoisseurs.

WAG’s are now a group of woman we look up to as appose to those that annoy and ridicule us.  We buy into their designs, cavort their styles and wear their fragrances.  WAG’s are the ones that have the latest designers and most sought after and renowned stylists on speed dial, with such an army behind them, how could they not look amazing 24/7!  This is one the main reasons we choose to try and recreate their style.  They are the ones wearing the latest designs fresh off the catwalks and they will therefore always remain stylish in our eyes!

Dress Like Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham is probably the most famous of all the WAGS. In fact she more or less invented the term WAG and is defiantly the original out of all the footballer wives and girlfriends. Her and David have made big bucks since their careers took off which means that budget is not a problem for her. This means that it is not always easy to copy her style, after all we don’t have $5000 to spend on a bag for the weekend. However you can dress like Victoria Beckham on a budget, here’s how:
Be Unique

Victoria is not afraid to dress to impress and be different. You will often see her with unique one off items. You can create these your self. Get a pair of jeans and stick on gems or add cuts and tears. You will look good and no one else will have a piece quite like it.

Be Subtle

Victoria Beckham has a great style in that she doesn’t mind showing skin but she doesn’t show too much. She makes a decision between showing something up top or showing off her legs, she doesn’t do both. This means that she looks great and stylish at the same time.

Shop International

Victoria obviously travels the world and picks up pieces from all over the world. We don’t have this privilege. However thanks to the internet we can shop online and buy items from over seas. This means the items we buy are rare over here and we won’t look like anyone else.
