There was a time when a love for vinyl was a reference to your sizable record collection, but now this historically risqué fabric has entrenched itself in the mainstream (well, the fashion mainstream anyway). Wipe clean and high impact, every item of clothing you could think of has been given the vinyl treatment—from trousers and coats to skirts and accessories—instantly transforming any run-of-the-mill item into a serious statement piece.
The vinyl-ambivalent can rest assured that there are plenty of ways to work this look without looking like a bin-liner. If the idea of stepping out in a pair of vinyl trousers terrifies you then there are plenty of high-shine accessories around that will allow you to dip your toe in. Take your cues from Harriet Stewart who elevates her denim dungarees with a pair of red patent boots. Or, if you’re feeling a little more adventurous, then the vinyl midi skirt is the thing for you. The secret is to keep the rest of your outfit simple a la Lisa Aiken (think white tee and heeled boots) and prepare to turn heads. Scroll down for our full edit of vinyl outfits.

SIYA BEYILE - FASHION CREATIVE, STYLIST, BLOGGER
Source: <p style="text-align: center;">One person that has impressed me this year is Siya Beyile, founder and creative director of The Threaded Man, an online destination for the modern African man to stay up to date on the latest fashion trends. Following its 2013 launch, The Threaded Man has cemented itself as <em>the</em> go to platform that provides men with the latest style trends, resulting in the portal coming second for the Best Blog about Africa category at the African Blogger Awards.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-169" src="https://guidetocelebrity.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/siya-1.jpg?w=300" alt="Siya 1" width="499" height="332" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In a space of two years, Siya has collaborated with a number of brands, while acting as a stylist to some of our favourite celebrities as well as major fashion campaigns. From Flying Fish, Titan, Levis,Ted Baker, Tommy Hilfiger and adidas to mention a few, it’s clear that brands are as obsessed with the Siya Beyile brand as his fast growing following.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone wp-image-1718" src="https://guidetoceleb.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Siya-Beyile-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="639" height="959" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Siya recently told Independent News, “Sometimes I feel like I am stuck in the wrong time period where everyone is thinking about now, like I want Instagram friends, I need to be cool and be seen. But I am thinking about future plans, always thinking about what is next.” A true mover and shaker, Siya recently made the coveted Forbes 30 Under 30 list, and is currently the face of American Swiss’ - Salute to the Modern Man campaign.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone wp-image-1719" src="https://guidetoceleb.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/American-Swiss-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="622" height="622" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I know Siya personally, I have worked with him at different levels and have been watching his brand closely over the years. One thing I can share with you is that Siya is a branding genius! At just 22, Siya has mastered the art of marketing and positioning himself, making him one the most influential brands in Mens Fashion in Africa *coughs in Forbes*.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-165" src="https://guidetocelebrity.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/siya6.jpg?w=300" alt="Siya6" width="393" height="262" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I have no doubt that the Siya Beyile brand is here to stay, will continue growing at a rapid pace, and will definitely be collaborating with more brands because he is professional, takes his craft seriously, does not shy away from hard work. Most importantly, Siya is CONSISTENT!</p>
