MEAGHAN SMITH PERSONAL STYLIST

Once you’ve built a good wardrobe of foundation pieces in neutral colors, then each season, rather than buying a heap of new clothes, (unless of course, you want to) all you need to do is add a few of-the-moment pieces that will refresh your look, give you more outfits and make you feel modern.

By updating your wardrobe this way, it also means that when you combine a new piece (maybe trendy, maybe not) with something you already have in your wardrobe, it’ll feel like you. (As opposed to a whole new trendy outfit that can feel a bit overwhelming.)

In this photo you can see a suit (let’s imagine is several seasons old), is given a new look by adding a trend piece – the waistcoat.

You could do the same with an old blazer and a modern new pair of jeans, or a simple navy dress and new season boots…

If you’re ever wondering what color to wear under a jacket, an easy (and chic) option is to just wear the same color or similar shade as it.

Do you have an ultimate fashion wish list? I do.

There are things I’m always searching for – like the perfect pair of jeans, the best white t-shirt, and a great navy blazer, and then there are the things I dream about. That’s what I’m talking about here…

These lusty pieces are always timeless and what I consider to be very beautiful. (Almost like works of art.) And generally, what I imagine to be out of my reach, which somehow adds to their allure.

A few things I fantasise about are: a Cartier Tank watch, a YSL Peacoat, and the Hermes Kelly bag (vintage is fine 😉 )

I also love the Trinity ring Grace Kelly is wearing in this photo. (Also, by Cartier. )

The three bands, in rose, yellow, and white gold, represent love, friendship, and fidelity. So lovely.

And while it may have been designed almost 100 years ago, (in 1924) its style is still modern today – highlighting just what a classic it is.

If you’re having your jeans cropped and not sure where to tell the alterations person to take them up to – show them this.
