I like Aida's list of the different types of contrast. Maybe something like&nbsp;light, gauzy cardigans or scarves paired with pants and combat boots?</p> <p>Of course, on a simpler level, you could wear larger-scale jewelry&nbsp;(maybe you already do); I'm especially thinking of thicker cuff-style bracelets. For clothes, would something with a jacquard-style print do? Something kind of shiny and ornate? I thought that that might be a way to mimic all the metal in the pics. I've attached some random shots of jacquard pants that I got through Google Images. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-night-warrior-inspired#post-1277020 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 03:05:22 +0000 Jaime 1277020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these inspirational pictures!

Like Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger etc. They usually have a strong fantasy aspect.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-night-warrior-inspired#post-1276866 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 00:39:12 +0000 Ledonna N. 1276866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou - this is a great site one I visit daily.

WOW. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-night-warrior-inspired#post-1276759 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 23:13:26 +0000 Aida 1276759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful and powerful images indeed! #6 tickles my RPG funny bone, loooove that one. As for appropriating this into style, good question.&nbsp;I see a lot of contrast: contrast in color (dark, light), contrast in strength (metal, soft hair), contrast in sweetness (ruffle collar, warrior sword). I also see a good dose of practicality actually, separate from the giant ruffles All of the hair looks appropriate for whatever you could imagine that these ladies would be doing; the ladies in #2 look as if they are somewhere warm, and are dressed for it; the gal in #7 looks resourceful (and also like someone you shouldn't mess with unless you were really prepared). I think you definitely appropriate this attitude in your dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-night-warrior-inspired#post-1276750 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 23:02:15 +0000 Caro in Oz 1276750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dramatic, is the word that comes to my mind:&nbsp;<br />Dramatic in&nbsp;the play of an&nbsp;Elizabethan ruff against cold, hard armour. <br />Dramatic black &amp; white palette.<br />Dramatic settings.<br />A lot of these clothes remind me of you :)</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://vimeo.com/83302398">http://vimeo.com/83302398</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urban-night-warrior-inspired#post-1276739 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 22:52:19 +0000 MsLuna 1276739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are beautiful images, ladywone!

Even the earrings are cool.</p> <p>I sometimes do what I consider stealth dressing.
