SCARF STYLE

Instantly elevate your outfit game by adding a silk scarf. 

We are advocates for a monochromatic colour palette of black, white and grey but every once in a while a little colour never goes astray, in fact it can make an outfit.

Accessories are the easiest way to update your wardrobe. Without overhauling what’s already in your closet you can update your basics with a pop of colour and a vibrant print by adding a scarf. The best thing is there are plenty of ways to wear scarves- as a neckerchief, a head scarf, a belt or even as a top.

We’ve collated our fave street style and editorial photos of some very stylish ladies donned in scarves. Enjoy!

4 EVERYDAY ACCESSORIES

|

Staple accessories that last throughout the seasons.

These are your go-to accessories for everyday so choose wisely. Opt for quality pieces in neutral colours that will easily pair with your wardrobe.

Our list of  must-have accessories-

|

|

BLACK LEATHER BAG

This is something you’ll use most likely use everyday so choose a bag that will fit your everyday essentials in. Invest in a quality brand that’s simple yet stylish and make sure it feels comfortable to wear. We suggest black, as it goes with everything and easy to care for.

SCARF

Think chunky knitted scarves and fine wool blends. A plain, neutral colour is always a good idea as it will easily match with any outfit. But if you’re feeling like a colour try red or pastels to brighten up your outfit or if prints are your thing try plaid, stripe or leopard.

WATCH

There are plenty of stylish watches in the market at the moment. Try to narrow down your choices by deciding on a colour, if you mostly wear gold jewellery opt for a watch with gold detailing.

SUNGLASSES

Firstly, find a shape that suits your face and a colour that suits your complexion. Stick to a classic colour that will match any outfit black or brown in matte or tortoise shell.

A little dirty a lot clean

We’re only human and we all get a little messy from time to time but there’s no point avoiding white or throwing out a perfectly good top just because of stains. We’ve put together a list of the most common, stubborn stains (red wine in our case) and the best ways to get rid of them.

ON YOUR FEET

A pair of shoes for every occasion.

QUALITY IS KEY

The idea is to build a wardrobe that lasts throughout the seasons and the years. Spend a little more on a high quality pair that will stand the test of time. Leather is always a good option- it only gets better and more comfortable with age and wear.

CONSIDER THE COLOUR (OR LACK THEREOF)

Black is always a good option. It goes with anything and everything meaning you can get the most out of your shoes. Tan is another great colour option that will easily mix and match with your wardrobe faves.

COMFORT IS IMPORTANT

Beauty should not be pain. Have you ever bought a pair of shoes that you loved but were super uncomfortable? You didn’t wear them much, right? If they aren’t comfortable when you buy them they’re not going to miraculously turn into ugg-like shoes after you buy them. If you can, find shoes with built-in support so you can wear them all day.

ESSENTIALS

STYLISHLY SIMPLE

Build a wardrobe that lasts, fill it with versatile, quality pieces that are chic and timeless. The key is finding pieces that you can easily pair together in neutral colours and classic silhouettes.

We’ve put together a list of what we believe to be essentials for a wardrobe that keeps giving.

|

BLUE WASH DENIM JEANS

Find a pair that fit and flatter in all the right places. Denim goes with everything but our fave way to wear denim is with a fresh white tee.

WHITE BUTTON DOWN

Dress it up, wear it to work or dress it down with denim. Every wardrobe needs a good quality white button down. Opt for a natural fabric like cotton or linen for comfort.

BLACK DRESS

A simple black dress doesn’t date, it’s something you can keep forever and reinvent with accessories.

STRIPES

Black, grey or navy stripes.. it doesn’t matter, as long as it’s stripes.

WHITE TEE

Fitted or oversized, cuffed or cropped… a white tee is the ultimate wardrobe essential because not only does it look great but it goes with everything.

BLACK WASH JEANS

Black jeans can be worn with anything. Find a pair that fit you perfectly and you’ll never need another pair.

SWEATER

Comfort is key, but you can have style too. Opt for neutral colours such as grey, black, cream or tan. For extra warmth try wool, cashmere and cotton.

LEATHER JACKET

A leather jacket will last forever and only gets better with age. Find a genuine leather that fits you well and you’ll never want to take it off.

DENIM SKIRT

Jeans can be a little hot in summer so opt for a denim skirt instead. Pair with sneakers, boots or flats for a casual, day look or with heels to glam it up for night.

GREY TEE

A grey tee can be paired with anything, we love matching with leather and denim.

LONG COAT

A long coat is essential for those winter months. Choose neutral colours and classic silhouettes to last more than one winter. Wool coats will keep you the warmest.

DENIM JACKET

We all need a denim jacket for the days when you want to keep is casual. It’s easy to find a great vintage denim jacket from your local thrift store.

DENIM  SHORTS

Keep it casual with slides or sneakers or dress it up with strappy heels.

LEATHER MINI

A black leather skirt makes any outfit instantly cool. Pair with sneakers, boots, slides or heels.
