The risk of combining two totally different textures in one look is always there. Sometimes you put them together and think, what was I even doing? And sometimes it turns out so unexpectedly good that you start wondering why you never tried it before. Fashion is funny like that. It really has no strict rules, and the more I experiment, the more I realize how much freedom there is in simply trusting your eye and your mood in the moment.

I don’t know why, but whenever I’m in New York, my style becomes even more effortless than usual. It feels like this city encourages you to stop overthinking everything — especially your outfits. You just open your closet, grab the first things you see, even if they belong to totally different worlds, put them on and suddenly it all works together. I love that feeling. It gives so much lightness and a little bit of chaos, but in the best, most inspiring way.

New York has this energy where everyone looks so different but somehow it all blends perfectly into the rhythm of the city. No one tries to fit into one style. No one is scared to look “too simple” or “too much.” You see people wearing the craziest combinations, and they look so confident that you catch yourself thinking, maybe that’s the whole point — wearing what makes you feel like yourself right now.

I genuinely enjoy experimenting with outfits here. Sometimes it’s a mix of textures that normally shouldn’t go together — like heavy knit with something silky and light, or leather with something super soft and romantic. Sometimes it’s mixing sporty pieces with something absolutely feminine. And the funny thing is, the less I think about it, the better it usually turns out.

New York teaches you not to care too much about what others might think. Maybe someone will judge your look for a second, but the truth is that everyone is so busy with their own life, their own morning coffee, their own thoughts, that your outfit becomes just another tiny part of the big city mosaic. And even if someone does judge you a little bit, the beauty is that you honestly don’t care. This city gives you that kind of confidence — the confidence to be playful, spontaneous, imperfect and bold with your style choices.

So yes, mixing totally different textures can be a risk. But it can also be the start of your favorite look. And if New York taught me anything, it’s that the best outfits often come from the moments when you don’t try too hard. You just let yourself have fun with fashion — and somehow it always works out.
