Casual Yet Sophisticated

24 Aug


Don’t just save your trench for work..or good, try wearing it casually with your jeans and a smart pair of sneakers.

This could be a good casual Friday outfit. Casual, yet sophisticated. Just pop your shoes on when you get to the office. ( I used to keep an array of shoes under my desk when I worked at the bank)

How A Few Tweaks Can Change The Look Of One Piece

1 Aug

white shirt

Sometimes making a few tweaks, can make a big difference.

By slightly changing how you wear something, you can make one item of clothing work for difference occasions.

Take this shirt for example.

It could be worn with a pencil skirt for work or with a full length skirt to an event, but in this case it’s worn casually with a pair of chinos.  It’s been styled with the idea of a look in mind.   (Maybe “subtly sexy, smart casual”)

– the collar has been popped up (Framing the face)
– the hair’s been put up to highlight the popped collar and lengthen the neck
– the shirt’s been buttoned to expose skin (or a hint of lace bra or camisole)
– the sleeves have been folded so that the cuffs poke out the top (Exposing some skin, highlighting the waist and lengthening the legs)
– the shirt has been half tucked into the pants

Tomorrow when you get dressed, stand in front of your full length mirror and ask yourself if there’s anything you could do to give your outfit a different look.

Challenge yourself.

Day To Night Dressing

7 Apr

A suit worn casually with a pair of sneakers and a tee during the day and then….dressed up in the evening with heels and fancy earrings.

This is what I’ve mentioned many times before about using your clothes in lots of different ways.

Making sure when you buy something that you’re not restricted by only being able to wear it one way.

If you missed it read –  “The Final Question I Ask Myself Before I Make A Purchase” here.

How To Casual Down A Statement Skirt

16 Mar

You don’t have to save that fabulous statement skirt, you pull out once or twice a year, just for special occasions.  (That, let’s be honest, may not even come)

You can try and wear it with a t-shirt, a knit or even a denim jacket.

What’s the point in having something lovely – possibly one of your favourite pieces – hanging mostly unworn in your wardrobe.

Casual it down and see if you can make it work more often.  …and don’t just save it for best.
