However, my past with sequels have been seriously hit and miss, I'm sure many would agree. Sequels can so often ruin the love of the original. Needless to say, I went into this one not expecting to enjoy it, even though I'd heard many, many good things. Thankfully, I was pleasantly surprised. This movie was just as good, if not better, than the original. I seriously recommend it if you were a fan of the first!
The one thing about this movie that I loved was Madam Simsa (played by Noomi Rapace). Not just her character, but her clothing! I've always been a fan of goddy gypsy clothing. Of course, it's not something you wear 24/7, but it's definitely fun to add little gypsy-like pieces into outfits. For this particular blog, I wanted to showcase the style in the movie and how you could wear it without looking completely crazy (well, maybe a little) featuring Madam Simza, Holmes and Watson.
The thing I noticed about Madam Simsa was that she wears a lot of mix-matching patterns and textures. Generally, she's in dark neutrals mixed with warm colours like bright browns, reds and oranges. Of course, lots of gold and over the top jewelry.
Watson is pretty much the opposite of Simsa. He wears really basic fabrics (I switched it up a bit with the metallic skirt) and very neutral colours. Where Simsa wears warm colours, Watson is almost always in cool greys, blues and tans. He dresses very simple, but simple can still look good!
In the last movie, Sherlock dressed much more similar to Watson. But in this one, he mixes textures and patterns a lot more. He dresses like an interesting mix between Watson and Simsa. Although he still is generally in a simple suit, he finds ways to add in warm colours and intricate patterns like Simsa. Of course, as always, he sparks a bit of interest in everything he wears.
I hope you enjoyed my take on Sherlock Holmes style. Go out and see the movie or you'll be missing out!
