The first time I spotted Jessie J's 'Do It Like A Dude' video on the internet, I was instantaneously drawn to her quirky sense of style. She also happens to be one of my favourite artists at the moment because the girl's got attitude. She's a badass. Damn, I love badass people, especially if they're talented and if they sport a black bob hairstyle.

Although some people might not agree, I find Jessie J's style to be truly inspiring. Of course, most of us won't ever get the opportunity to rock some of the numbers she's donned for the stage but that doesn't mean we can't get look up to her impeccable fashion sense. Jessie is very brave with her style choices, mixing vintage pieces, 90s inspired items, killer heels and her staple huge gold earrings. She likes to play with masculine details, but she seems to have a thing for lace as well. In a way, she tends to explore the androgynous trend quite frequently. If I had to label Jessie's style, then I'd say she verges on the 'ghetto chic'.

Okay girls, here comes the low-down. I've seen plenty of pictures of Jessie J before writing this post, and I noticed that she often tends to pick statement tights / leggings. Case in point is the picture above, where Jessie chooses a pair of suspender tights for one of her performances. Obviously I don't suggest wearing these tights with a bodysuit and heading out of the house and feeling good about it. Actually, I don't recommend it at all. However, you can still wear such tights without looking like a hooker. How? With a pretty coat, for instance. Check out these suspender tights from New Look, these spot stocking tights from New Look, and these star patterned tights from Boohoo!

Next thing I want to mention is Jessie J's mesh cutout details. Mesh details are easily identifiable in most of her outfits and they're a great way to 'feminise' a masculine-inspired outfit! Mesh adds a touch of sultriness to any combination, and our dear Jessie seems to have understood the trick! This mesh-detailed dress from ASOS really reminds me of Jessie J. I can totally see her wearing it!

The fetish trend (ie. lace, leather, latex and all of those rawr materials) is going strong right now, and it should be around for another season too. Personally speaking, I'm still in the 'learning phase' of this trend, in the sense that I still feel like I have to understand its dynamics before going full on with it. If you have my same problem, then Jessie J is the answer. This girl has mastered the trend like almost no one else has. The way she mixes leather and lace is divine. It's definitely one of her staple looks!

No Jessie J style post would be complete without mentioning her statement jewellery. The girl likes to bling it, a lot. Funny thing is that I absolutely hated those huge hoop earrings she likes to wear until I saw them on her! She managed to changed my view on them, and mind you, I think I'm particularly stubborn where fashion is concerned. If you want to add some Jessie-like bling to your outfit, go for chunky gold pieces that make a statement. I found these gold earrings at ASOS which I think would be Jessie's cup of tea. And guess what, they're affordable!

Do you like Jessie J, or do you think she's seriously over-rated? As far as I'm concerned, I intend to keep Jessie on my style radar. Bling, bling!

I love everything about her - her style, her attitude and of course her amazing voice :)
