Martina, a 25 year old personal style and fashion blogger, cross-fit junkie, paleo devotee and leader of an envious life, snapped the following well-dressed Czechs around the Old Town precinct, which is not only the city’s historical centre but also boasts a “fairytale like charm”. It’s also the city’s biggest tourist attraction, a place where, Martina says, “the streets make no sense whatsoever and it is very easy to get lost around there. But lost or not it is always a pleasant to stroll around The Old Town.”
This serene sunset angel is Olga, and she’s on her way home from work wearing leggings by Young Primitive, a DIY coat and sweater and shoes by CCC, which I assume stands for Chic in Cold Climates.
Looking perfectly dressed for the occasion, Milada was snapped on her way to the library wearing a vintage scarf and coat, toting her grandfather’s bag and sporting matching Topshop shoes.
If Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego was ever made into a Czech language movie adaptation, this is exactly what I imagine the show’s titular character would look like. Terezia cuts a striking figure in a vintage cape coat, full-length cranberry leather gloves and killer boots by Anna Dello Russo for H&M. Naturally, she’s dressed like this to go on a date with her boyfriend. Would be her friend.
In a Hunter trench, pants by H&M, a Topshop shirt and great shoes by Office London, Bara makes last minute Christmas shopping looking like a pleasant pastime and not at all the mad rush maelstrom I manage to wind up in every year, without fail.
Obliging Martina with a brief portrait on his way to the studio, Ladislav wears all Zara, except for the pants, which are Trousers London; and the smouldering glare and ash blonde crop, which is all his own.
Well, this is a bit cute. Nika wears a vintage coat, sweater and skirt by H&M, shoes by Mango and she carries a bag by Alexander Wang while out on a walk with her family. Not sure what her Mum’s wearing. Kidding. Nika is the mum.
In a coat by Isabel Marant Pour H&M, ASOS pants and Zara double monks, Edie looks every bit the part as he heads toward a party via a lurid shirt store.
You might think it gets too cold in Prague around Christmas time to wear a midriff top, but you’d be wrong, evidently. Anezka wears a houndstooth-y Topshop top, American Apparel pants, a vintage coat and a winning smile.
I can’t even with this dog. Tyler, on the other hand, is wearing Uniqlo jeans, a Levi’s jacket, classic winter Red Wing boots and some spectacular mustard gloves. As always, the best accessory is a man’s best friend, especially a glossy, rotund Labrador *punches self in face*.
