The Basics

27 Aug

Go back to basics.

Sometimes people who love fashion and have lots of lovely clothes, have neglected to buy basics that tie everything together – they find them boring to shop for.

When you build a stylish wardrobe think about building it up from the bottom. Start with the staples first, then when you’ve filled your wardrobe with those, you can begin to add the interesting pieces that help create your authentic personal style. .

If you’re opening your wardrobe each day, seeing rails full of clothes yet feel like you have nothing to wear, it might be that you’re missing the basics. (Flattering jeans, great t-shirts, knits, pants, etc,etc) .

The Secret To Jennifer Aniston’s Style

1 Sep

When I work with someone new I always ask them if there is anyone’s style they admire. (This just gives me a bit of an idea as to what they like, in the same way I might ask you to tell me what music you listen to or how your home is decorated)

Often if someone is quite classic, non fussy, simple and casual with their style they might mention Jennifer Aniston.

Jennifer’s look often involves a t-shirt or singlet with a pair of jeans, sometimes a blazer and a pair of wedges. It looks very easy to achieve – and it can be – but there’s several reasons why Jennifer or any other celebrities with great style look good in their clothes. It’s because..

  1. More than likely they’re wearing clothes of relatively good quality.
  2. Everything they wear looks fresh and new. They wouldn’t wear anything that was pilled, stained, stretched, scuffed or faded.
  3. They wear clothes that are flattering for their body shape.
  4. They wear clothes that fit them perfectly.

This was highlighted recently when Jennifer Aniston was asked about her style, in particular her love of T-shirts and jeans.

“This is my secret:  The trick to T-shirts is I that I usually tailor them. Which is silly, but it works.”  

“Or you just have to find the perfect one”, she told the site. 

So while Jennifer’s look may appear effortless, it isn’t exactly.  It’s well thought out.  She doesn’t just wear any old t-shirt, she wears one that is just right.

Having our t-shirts tailored is unrealistic for most of us, but striving to find a great one, is not.

As with all the pieces you wear, it’s the little(ish) things like ensuring you’re wearing the most flattering sleeve, the most flattering neckline, the most flattering length, the most flattering size and the most flattering fabric, that make the big difference to how stylish your overall look is – if that matters to you.
