It does overlap, yes. With less obviously 'larme' pieces it's all in the details, in my opinion. Western items/outfits have completely different detailing and aren't styled the same way a larme outfit would be. In current mainstream fashion everything you're wearing is supposed to look like you just picked it up from your bedroom floor this morning and 'just so' happened to match. Pic related or >>9182593 are quite good examples because you could probably find some of the individual items in a Western shop but they definitely wouldn't be coordinated this way as the styling is much more feminine. If you were to see #7 from the Bardot spread in a mainstream magazine the hair would be unstyled, you'd have the model wear something like an athleisure bomber on top to 'toughen it up', the socks and probably the shoes as well would have to go.
I might not have phrased this very well but I hope you can see what I'm getting at anon
