Food For Thought — 20 Grub-Inspired Fashion Finds That Will Make You Both Happy And Hungry!
Here’s something to chew on: this spring and summer, food and fun come together in the realm of fashion, as indulgent edibles inspire jewelry, handbags, T-shirts, scarves, shoes, hair accessories and much more. Kate Moss might believe that “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels,” but she’s obviously never truly savored every bite of a Shake Shack burger, a Junior’s cheesecake slice, or a plate of beer-battered onion rings. As George Bernard Shaw wrote, “There is no love sincerer than the love of food.” Indeed, eating is one of life’s greatest pleasures — especially when it’s done with others we love, when it’s part of a shared experience. Many of this season’s accessories, then, tap into the joy food brings us and, in turn, visually channel that playful and cheerful energy.
Zesty fruits like lemons and oranges, as well as juicy watermelons and tropical pineapples, dominate the food-centered fashion menu, but the motifs go beyond the usual fruitopia, incorporating sweets like popsicles, ice cream cones, lollipops, and donuts; breakfast staples like fried eggs and bacon; and fast food favorites like burgers, fries, hot dogs, pizza slices, and tacos. The message: having an appetite is totally worth celebrating. Now, on to the main course: check out the 20 fashion finds for foodies below!
