Winter is here, and with Christmas just around the corner, it’s time to start getting festive with our attire. And while the season may call for certain things, there are certain things it certainly does not call for and we’re here to help. Make sure you stay stylish this winter, by getting familiar with the biggest fashion mistakes to steer clear of this Christmas season.

A Huge Purse

While you may think that bringing everything you need everywhere you go is practical, the truth is that big bags are out. After all, who’s to say that you’re going to need everything in the kitchen sink when you’re out doing your Christmas shopping anyway? Instead of bringing oversized bags and weighing yourself down, opt for a small clutch or handbag. Minimal fashion is in, and your grandma’s huge carpet bag is out. 

Besides, large bags are especially out of place when you’re attending a formal event like a Christmas party or a New Year’s Eve event. Something small and dainty will be much more sophisticated.

Non-Weather Friendly Shoes

We get it, you love your high heels and your fuzzy (not waterproof) Uggs. While these may be perfectly cute winter shoes while you’re indoors, you’re forgetting about the moments you’ll still need to navigate outdoors to get where you’re going. The last thing you want is to arrive at your Christmas party with soggy Uggs or snow-covered stilettos. Do yourself a favor and wear weather-friendly shoes that are stylish, yet can still withstand the rain and snow.

Forgetting Comfort

During the holiday season, we’re often so focused on going with a theme, like sparkles or red and green, that we forget one of the most important aspects of fashion regardless of the season— comfort! Don’t forget that when you attend a Christmas party, you’re going to be standing around and talking to people quite a bit. If you’re uncomfortable, you’re not going to be able to put your best foot forward. Functionality and fashion should always be balanced when it comes to looking your best.

Forgetting the Theme

On the other extreme are people who are so focused on comfort that they forget to embrace Christmas style. Christmas ensembles are all about pairing together the right colors and textures so that you look the part. Avoid the mistake of choosing outfits that could be mistaken for just another day. After all, Christmas is your time to shine and embrace the merry spirit of the holidays. Don’t blend in— stand out!

Forgetting Accessories

One of the best parts of winter is the accessories. From beanies, and scarves, to a cute Santa hat, don’t underestimate the power of a well-chosen Christmas accessory. Making a statement with your accessory can elevate your outfit and be fun on top of it!

 

 

5 Fashion Rules to Break

October 31, 2023 By in Fashion Tags: , , , , , , 9 Comments

When it comes to fashion, it’s generally said that there are no rules. However, we can all agree that certain fashion stereotypes have become standards. While some of the standards might be outdated, others might not align with your personal style. The good news is that it’s OK to break some fashion rules.

In this blog post, we will share five fashion rules to break. Let’s begin!

Do not mix print

Contrary to this highly revered standard, we’ve seen mixed prints fast becoming a trend in the fashion community. From floral with stripes to animal skins and polka dots, mixed prints set the pace for elevated fashion styles.

Here are some beginner-friendly tips when working with patterns;

  • Start by exploring basic prints like polka dots and stripes. Pairing them with a bolder print would be a great way to start.
  • Pay attention to your colour schemes. If you’re going to wear a vibrant colour, balance it out with something darker
  • Incorporate patterned accessories into your everyday look.
Neutrals don’t go together

Neutrals are the most versatile piece of clothing. Unlike vibrant colours, neutrals like black, white and brown are staples if you’re going for the clean girl aesthetics.

When done correctly, pairing neutrals like black and brown or white and navy blue can give a chic and elevated look. Some combinations you can explore include camel and grey, grey, blue and black.

Remember to pay attention to the colour contrast so you don’t end up looking dull and bland.

Stick with one jewellery type

It’s time to debunk the long-standing style faux pas of not wearing gold and silver jewellery together! When paired correctly, these accessories can make you look classy and coordinated.

You can start by incorporating mixed metal jewellry or rose gold accessories to give you the best of both worlds.

Provided it makes you feel beautiful and comfortable, explore away!

Tall women should stick to flats

Just like every other woman, tall women can and should wear heels. It’s all about debunking stereotypes here.

Tall women are known to look more elevated and stylish with heels on. All you need to do is find the perfect heel size that fits and complements your look.

Remember, your comfort is a priority.

Petite women shouldn’t wear Maxi Dresses

When it comes to petite women wearing maxi dresses, there’s usually a lot going on.

We’ve got good news for you. You can pull off a maxi dress if you’re short and petite, and here’s how:

  • Maxi dresses with puffed sleeves elongate your body and make you appear taller.
  • Pairing your flowy dress with a belt helps detail your figure and cinch you in.
  • Don’t forget to show some skin. Whether it’s a v-neckline or a dress above your ankle, this would ensure that you do not appear swamped in the clothes.

Fashion is all about expressing yourself, and when there are “rules” that can deter this, we’re permitting you to break them!

Stay beautiful, explore your style and always remember— there are no rules when it comes to your style.

 

 

6 styling tips to improve your personal style

October 5, 2023 By in Fashion Tags: , , , , , , , 2 Comments

Improving your personal style transcends spending a fortune on wardrobe changes or fashion trends. It is all about being authentic and working with styles that resonate with this. 

If you are looking to elevate your personal style and look your best? You are in luck! In this post, we share simple tips to help you cultivate your unique look and boost your confidence.

Explore your Wardrobe

Start by checking out your wardrobe. Improving your personal style works the same way as building any other habit. As a result, intentionality is critical. An excellent way to start is by dressing up regardless of whether or not there’s an occasion. This is a great way to explore your wardrobe and identify styles you naturally gravitate towards. Also, you could take stock of what you have and what is missing from your wardrobe. 

Pay attention to your Body type and skin tone

Finding and developing a personal style is a personal journey, and your personality plays a huge role. Understanding your body style can steer you in the right direction.

By understanding your body type and paying attention to your skin tone, you can opt for clothes that accentuate your body type while making your skin pop. 

Shop Strategically

If you’ve always been jumping on every fashion trend, it’s high time you dropped that habit. 

Aside from wasting valuable cash, one backlash of jumping on fashion trends or impulse buying is that you would usually end up with a pile of clothes you’ll probably never wear because they just do not fit.

It’s time to break that habit. After exploring your wardrobe, you should be able to create a list of items you need. Let those be the priority when you go shopping. You can always add other things that interest you to a wishlist instead of buying them right off the rack.

Incorporate textures 

Whether you are a fan of basic clothing or have a ton of them lying in your wardrobe, incorporating textures is a sure way to elevate that basic look.

Adding textures like leather, metallics, cashmere, and silk to your collection and pairing them with your basic staples can be a great way to look chic and elevated.

Pay attention to your footwear

Whenever you feel your outfit is just not it, check your footwear. They can literally make or break your look. The best part about investing in footwear is how effortlessly they complement your look and their versatility. From ballet flats and loafers to trendy sneakers, footwear is totally worth the hype.

Accessorize 

Timeless accessories are a must-have. Whether it is a delicate pendant or a statement earring, accessorising delivers that final touch of class your outfit needs. Don’t sleep on accessories!

Having a wardrobe that exudes your personal style can be a great confidence boost. You would be ever ready to step up in style and no longer feel anxious about selecting what to wear.
