Must-Have Fashion Essentials for Summer

Summer is around the corner and it’s time for many of us to switch up our capsule wardrobe. Wool sweaters are going into the backs of our closets, and all the lighter fabrics are flowing to the front. But if you’re not sure what your new summer style should look like, you still have a few months to figure it out. And no matter what influencer you decide to take inspiration from or what the colour of the season is, you can always bet on one thing: essentials will always be needed.

White shirt

White is such a classic colour for summer that it’s a surprise it’s not the colour of the season every year. But wearing a monochromatic all-white outfit can be a hard look to pull off, which is why many women choose to have a look that has only one white piece. We all know that isn’t going to be the bottoms, so white tops continue to rule the scene. Whether you go for a white T-shirt for a sportier look, or a button-up for a professional, chic approach, you can’t go wrong with a white top. Of course, you need to be careful with the type of undergarments you wear it with, as white fabrics can often be see-through, and nobody wants a wardrobe malfunction at work.

Midi skirt

There’s really nothing that can match the feeling of strutting down the street in a skirt that makes you feel as good as you look. However, short skirts are so passé, and this season we are collectively moving to a bit less revealing look with the bottoms, but don’t overdo it. Fortunately, midi skirts are still short enough, while remaining appropriate for work and formal occasions. It’s important to remember that it’s more often the style, rather than the length of the skirt, that determines the overall impression you will make. A safe point is something like a structured A-line skirt, which is both formal and casual, depending on what you match it with. But, you can also play around with pencil or full-circle skirts to find what suit you best. The same skirt can look completely different depending on how high you wear it on your waist and whether you pair it with a casual crop top or a button shirt, so feel free to play around with it.

Dresses

No summer can pass without a dress, and this one is no different. While there are a lot of new fashion trends coming out with all kinds of materials, nothing will ever beat the classic cotton dresses we all know and love. They allow your skin to breathe in the heat and always seem to perfectly hug the figure without revealing the flaws. If there is one style of dress that will be dominating this summer, it’s definitely wrap dresses, which is great news for a lot of people, since wrap dresses are famous for looking amazing on any body type. Light wrap cotton dresses are perfect for a day-to-night look, because you can just swap trainers for high heels, let your hair down and you are so ready for the night to begin.

Ballet flats

There are some days when you just cannot deal with the hassle and tangle of sandals, but your footwear needs to look more professional than a pair of trainers. This is where ballet flats come in, and they are much more than a resort for when you don’t want to wear heels. They give you a very elegant look, as they are close-toed and look formal without any effort. You can literally put them on with a plain skater dress and be ready for basically any event. There are some things you want to keep in mind, though: many of them can feel constricting at the toes, so make sure you find the ones that are really comfortable. Secondly, if you have wider ankles and want to minimize their appearance, don’t choose a shoe that has an ankle band, because it will only make it visually wider.

Also, don’t forget your must-have summer accessories like your sunglasses and a big tote bag that can fit a bottle of water and a hand fan to keep you cool and hydrated. Put on your favourite swimsuit underneath and head to the beach, because summer is nearly here and you want to make sure you’re ready for the summer of your life.

With the summer getting closer, you’re probably thinking that you are not body and wardrobe-ready. Before you get stressed about not having time to work out again or not having enough money to shop, let’s just check what can be done with the minimum time, money and energy investment. Here is a list of things to reconsider before you start with the summer preparations.

6.jpg?resize=798%2C558&ssl=1&profile=RESIZE_710x

Swimsuits

The only money investment for the new beach season should definitely be the right swimsuit. Before you start searching for a new, trendy and usually expensive piece, the best starting point is reconsidering your body type. You should remember that your weight is really not as important as your confidence. Although this summer, similarly to the previous one, the fashionistas put emphasis on the one-piece, romantic models, or the old-fashioned, high-waisted bikinis. So, if you are not curvy, you risk looking like a little girl wearing one. The safest solution, for basically all body shapes, is quality triangle swimwear which can make your breasts and hips look either bigger or smaller. However, you need to choose the right size and model of the top and the bottom part. Together with the model, you should also make sure that the color of your new bikini suits your skin tone. If you are light-skinned, avoid neutral colors. On the other hand, if you are dark-skinned, you should be careful with bright colors, as sometimes big contrasts can look tacky.

Beach clothes

The only important thing when it comes to beach clothes is that they need to be comfortable, and made of natural materials. You don’t have to buy new clothes, but rather check what you already have in your closet and try to combine the familiar pieces in a different way. Sarongs are always a good idea for covering up your body at the beach. They are easy to pack, really convenient, and there are numerous creative ways how they can be tied to look chic. Also, you can look both elegant and effortlessly casual wearing flowy maxi skirts and dresses, of floral or even animal prints, which are very popular this season. High-waisted maxi skirts and palazzos, when combined with crop tops can even make you party-ready. If you are not a fan of the lady-like combos, you can never make a mistake by combining high-waisted denim skirts or shorts with oversized T-shirts. On the other hand, if you don’t feel like experimenting, the safest solution for the beach look is, of course, a fancy, colorful kaftan. The kaftan, or a simple, baggy, cotton dress when combined with a layered, trendy necklace, a pair of big black sunnies and a hat can make you look like a movie star.

Shoes

Together with the clothes, your shoes for the beach need to be comfortable, so high heels are out of the question. Flip-flops, slip-ons or comfy summer sandals are a perfect combo with big beach bags. Even cool summer boots can be the right fit for the boho-chic style lovers.

Accessories

When choosing beach jewelry, one needs to take into consideration that it should be made of plastic or some material that doesn’t change color when in contact with water. Also, the pieces should not be extravagantly big, in order to feel comfortable wearing them. Hats are always a good idea for the beach, and you can always adjust the size and the model to your face or head-shape, personal style and character. Not to mention that they provide very useful protection from the sun. Also, hair scarfs are an absolute hit this season, and they can make every hairstyle look perfect. When it comes to sunnies, you can leave your expensive pair at home when heading to the beach, and rather take an interesting, cheaper one to complete your trendy beach look.

So girls, don’t forget your sunscreen and positive vibes, and let this summer be the perfect one!

How to Pack Lightly for Your Summer Vacation

It’s time for a summer vacation and some fun! Therefore, don’t let anything stress you out, not even  just a little bit. For starters, those of you who constantly seem to be troubled by overpacking should learn some new tips on how to make your luggage light and effective, so that you don’t have to feel inconvenienced by the weight of your bag. Not to mention that you probably won’t even get to use all the stuff you bring, as you most definitely have experience with that already. So, what can you do to pack lightly for your vacation?

Check the weather

Regardless of what your summer vacation destination is, it’s always pretty easy to find out what the weather forecast for that time period is going to be. So, instead of bringing an equal amount of warmer and lighter clothes, you can see for yourself exactly what kind of weather you can expect. In general, cold waves don’t tend to last long in a warm climate, and there’s really no need to bring a ton of warm items. You probably won’t spend a lot of time in jeans and sweatpants anyway, so you may want to travel in one and pack the other just in case – no more. Also, one long-sleeved shirt and a light jacket are usually more than enough in this case.

Imagine your outfits realistically

It always helps to imagine and plan what you’re going to wear every single day during your vacation. However, you have to be very realistic about this. Also, use your previous experience with vacation outfits to organize and plan the things you’re going to wear, and pack now. For example, you don’t need different shorts and skirts for every day of your vacation, and especially not if your main goal is going to be hitting the beach every day. For instance, two pairs of shorts and skirts is more than enough for every day, and then you can add a light and breezy dress and/or a longer skirt. What’s more, think about multipurpose items that go well for both the beach or something casual as well as a more relaxing night out. That said, don’t forget to pack all of your favorite women’s underwear in order to complete all your summer looks like a pro.

Go easy on the accessories

For some reason, we always think that we are going to wear more accessories than we usually do when we pack for the summer vacation. However, remember that your habits are not going to change accessorizing-wise just because you’re changing the scenery for a while. Ditch the bulky jewelry and stick to your favorite dainty pieces that you know you like wearing and which pair well with every outfit. If you’re interested in trying beach scarves (sarongs), you may want to buy one when you get there. If you want to bring a scarf with you, you’re only going to need one! In that respect, choose a color/pattern that can match well with various outfits.

You don’t need a ton of swimsuits

Swimsuits can present the biggest challenge when it comes to creating a perfect beach outfit. Therefore, it’s important to check whether you’re going to be able to your clothes with during your vacation stay. Even if you pack really lightly, you can still bring at least one or two of your favorite swimsuits. Before your vacation, it’s good to through a selection of one piece swimwear online and choose a trendy yet body conscious one. In general, just one in neutral colors for every day, and maybe one or two printed swimsuits for keeping up with the latest spring/summer trends.

What about the shoes?

You are not going to wear all of your sandals and stilettos on your vacation! Choose one pair of flip-flops/sandals/wedges for every day, one pair of shoes that are comfortable and suitable for a night out, and travel in sneakers. That’s it. You really won’t need different kinds of heels and footwear styles when all you’ll think about is having fun and relaxing in the new surroundings.

It may seem hard to ditch all the clothes you have in your wardrobe, but just think about what you wear on a daily basis at home. You may be surprised when you realize that you don’t really use that many items to put together an outfit during the course of two weeks, or for however long your vacation is going to be. Keep that in mind when packing as well.

Shorts, shorts, shorts

Shorts are slowly showing their dominant side, making all the skirts step aside for a little bit. All we’ve been seeing lately is an array of trendy boyish alternative and that’s just the beginning. Cycling shorts in both classic black and white colors and in bold neon hues have certainly made a lot of heads turn, and you should go grab a pair of your own to rock it on the streets now. Matching them with a long blazer and a pair of heels will give you an instant a la Kim Kardashian look. To accentuate your midriff, wrap a wide belt around it. If you’re not so fashion forward at the moment, you could opt for a bit looser knee-length, micro, and tailored shorts. They'll go amazing with either a plain white shirt tucked in and a belt keeping everything in place, or with a cropped top and a long raincoat in case of bad weather.

Neon hues

The 90s are back in its prime glory and they’re bringing neon hues along with them. From tops to bottoms, coats to footwear, you’ll be seeing your favorite pink, blue, green, orange and yellow in the most sensational neon hues. Feel free to wear them with neutral colors or even match neon pink cycling shorts with a neon pink crop top for an all-vibrant zesty outfit. If you want to tone it down a little, throwing a black or white coat over it would look stunning.

Designer accessories

Could you even imagine going out without your favorite bag or a pair of sunglasses? We think not, which is why you should always stay up to date with the latest accessories trends and invest in signature pieces that you’ll be able to wear for years to come. Framed scarves and duffle bags are just some of the fabulous and stylish Balenciaga accessories that should definitely find their place in your wardrobe and make a statement adornment on your ensemble. Tortoise earrings, bamboo bags, and oval sunglasses are also a major hit in the world of accessories so try them on and make them a key piece of your next look.

Sneakers

This is definitely going to be the year of sneakers! If you’ll be seeing any footwear making statement all over the world, it will most certainly be bold and quite unusually designed sneakers. From chunky Balenciaga kicks to multicolored flatform sneakers, you’ll see incredible designs matched with virtually every possible outfit. You’ve never thought about wearing your running shoes with a flowy maxi dress? Well, 2019 will change your mind in a second. To be sure you’ve made a huge statement, throw on a chunky sweater, flared trousers, an oversized coat and a pair of neon pink kicks.

Animal Prints

All the lovers of animal print will be delighted to know that 2019 will be all about the safari-like vibe. From leopard to zebra and python prints, you'll be seeing plenty of wild designs everywhere. Whether you want a coat, jacket, a blazer, a pair of trousers, a dress or maybe boots – it's all radiating Africa. Feel free to dress all in python or maybe just make a statement with a leopard coat over your black-on-black ensemble. A pair of boots with snakeskin print is all you need to match your snake patterned clutch and belt.

Final thoughts

2019 trends are nothing if not versatile making everyone find their favorite piece of clothing. From throwback neon to statement sneakers, shorts, designer accessories and to everlasting animal prints, we’ll have our hands full with an array of remarkable clothing. If you’ve found something that you like in the aforementioned trends, start shopping and create a unique look everyone will adore. Feel free to experiment and express your inner fashionista to create the most iconic ensembles that maybe even the biggest of fashion designers haven’t come up with so far.

6 Tips for an Amazing Summer Look

Summer is approaching fast and you know that this is the time when all of the fashionistas bring their A-game to the table and give us breathtaking looks. Well, whether you want to impress your Instagram followers or just turn heads when you walk down the street, looking amazing during the summer will definitely do the trick. So here are some tips on how to achieve that perfect summer look.

pexels-photo-1973209.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=2&h=750&w=1260&profile=RESIZE_710x

Take care of your skin

Summer means that you’re showing a lot more skin than usual, so stepping up your skincare game can help you look better and feel much more confident. The two main things to remember are exfoliation and moisturizing. Exfoliation is a tricky one because, while it will make your skin smooth and evenly toned, it will also take off some of your tan, so you should focus on it more in the pre-season as a preparation. Moisturizing should be a part of your everyday routine. When you get out of the shower, just rub your skin down with some body milk or cream. You will see the results within days.

Wear less makeup

Warmer weather always brings lighter makeup, both because of increased sweating and because of style changes. The less makeup you wear, the less chance you have of breakouts and uneven tans, so try to stick to light products and spot-treat instead of covering your entire face. It’s also good to adopt this habit before beach season, because the last thing you want on a beach and in the water is a face full of makeup.

Get the figure you want

Every person has the right to feel great in their body. For some that means exercising every day and watching their diet, while for others it means embracing whatever shape or size they come in. There are also those who try to achieve a very specific body type and look for professional help in doing that. In places like Australia, where it’s beach season most of the time, a lot of women opt for professional body contouring in Sydney to get and maintain a desired figure. This isn’t something uncommon, but you should still do a lot of research and ask for recommendations to find the right doctor who will give you the right procedure for your desired outcome.

pexels-photo-1550913.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=2&h=750&w=1260&profile=RESIZE_710x

Give yourself some height

Your body will always look good if it’s a bit elongated, especially if you’re rocking bare legs, so getting some appropriate shoes and getting used to walking in a bit of heel can be a great trick. Choose something with a platform rather than a narrow heel to keep you more stable and casual. If you have wider ankles and want to minimize their appearance, don’t’ choose something with an ankle strap, because it will visually widen it.

Find your style

Summer is the perfect time to transform your fashion style since you’re already swapping from warmer clothes. Firstly you want to think about the fit: do you want something casual like a T-shirt and shorts, or maybe something like a skater dress? Try out different things until you find something that you like and that could be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Try to use the things that you already have in your closet, and if you can’t relate to that style anymore, sell those clothes and get something that you will actually like to wear.

Pick up an activity

Summer is all about being active and spending time outside, so it’s the perfect time to pick something new to do. Whether it’s going hiking on the weekends, joining a morning jogging group or painting by the river, filling out your days with productive actions will make you feel better - and we all know that makes us look better on the outside, too. Plus, a new activity can change your style completely, whether it’s carrying a big bag with pens and paper around or constantly being on your bike.

No matter what you do to prepare for summer, you should always think about how it makes you feel and what your ultimate goal is. Make sure that the changes you’re making are for yourself and that with every step you’re moving to being happier and feeling better.

Noticeable on every corner of this year’s Fashion Weeks, from fierce leopard, snake and zebra prints to dominant checkered ones, prints are undoubtedly ruling the runways this year. You can see them on jackets, coats, pants, shoes... anything imaginable. And on top of that, trendsetters have given us the green light when it comes to wearing two prints at the same time, allowing for our creativity to shine through. Be bold and rock those snake print boots with the matching skirt. If you want to go even further, copy Paris street style by wearing two different prints, like floral and animal print or floral and checkered. Why not? With prints, the sky is the limit!

A dress to impress

Animal prints, polka dots, checkered, flowy, bodycon, florals, and sequins... a lot of different types of dresses were worn at London Fashion Week. They’re an absolute must-have this season. Dresses are easy to combine – they make your outfit look elegant and refined while highlighting your feminine side at the same time. You can wear them with coats, blazers, leather jackets, or with blouses underneath. Put on a belt to accentuate your waist or add some wild accessories to make your outfit pop. A lot of online stores draw their inspirations from the runway shows, trying to recreate those looks for less. Go check out some online stores and buy women’s dresses that fit your style. In return, they will help you stand out from the crowd while also being trendy and chic. What’s not to love about that?

Spring Fashion Trends 2019

8843968654?profile=original

A new season always deserves a new closet revamp – go into spring well informed with the top looks seen all over the runways of fashion capitals of the world. Looking at what’s been featured on the catwalks and discovering what’s been frequently bough by buyers or posted on Instagram feeds, listed below are trends that are genuinely going to affect your wardrobe this spring. This isn’t just a case of say what you see – this is a proper list of the new items you’ll want to buy, the old ones you’ll be digging out of the closet again and the new styling tricks that will turn everything around. Here are the biggest fashion trends for spring 2019:

Neons and pastels

The colour of the season is undoubtedly any bright shade of neon. In order to get just the right touch of this trend, and avoid overdoing it, invest in a small cross body bag or a pair of stilettos in a neon shade and add a pop of colour to an otherwise neutral outfit. But apart from bright neons, pastels will also be big in 2019 – these softer, feminine shades are perfect for the warmer spring weather. Outerwear and tailored separates in subtle candy hues are going to be an especially popular choice come the beginning of March.

Head-to-toe nude

8843968895?profile=original

Neutral monochromatic looks are not necessarily a new thing, but an inescapable sea of beige is coming this spring. So, stock up on some quality camel essentials for spring by visiting some of your favourite brands, such as the amazing eb&ive, and start creating chic monochromatic outfits. In order to avoid looking dull and monotone, a good idea would be to mix different shades within one look and experiment with fabrics like leather, silk and linen. If head-to-toe tan isn’t for you, try styling this trend with pops of beautiful pastel shades or even classic colours like black or white.

Chic leather

Both real and faux leather are gaining momentum beyond just outerwear – from trousers, shorts and skirts to shirts and sleeves tops, expect to see leather incorporated into every fashionable outfit come spring. While black is a timeless staple, shades of brown and fiery red will be the most fashion forward this season. Whether matte or high shine, all types of leather are going to be trendy in 2019.

Romantic crochet

As the temperatures rise up, expect to see more artisanal craft details, but on very sleek and minimalistic silhouettes, because nothing says spring and summer more than crochet and macramé. From Missoni to Isabel Marant, lots of designers breathed new life into this chic ‘70s trend. Crafty fabrications were seen all over the runways and knitted pieces will be a big hit among customers come spring.

Daring fishnets

While seashell jewellery has been making its way into the fashion scene for the last year or so, designers are going for the full by-the-seashore look with netting and pukas that are nothing less than mermaid-worthy. Macramé and crochet had some major moments on the spring/summer ’19 runways, but the fishnet pattern in particular was the biggest highlight of them all, judging by designers such as Dior and Louis Vuitton.

Casual shorts

From patterned to solid coloured ones, styled as a smart casual outfit or an athleisure look, bike shorts were seen all over the runways this season. While they may be one of the most unexpected trends, there is no denying we’ll be seeing them everywhere come spring. If you’re not sure you can get into the whole bike shorts thing, but still want to try the long shorts look, then go for Bermudas. They hit you on the leg at exactly the same point, and are just as much of a trend for spring 2019.

8843968491?profile=original

Utility dressing

Function meets fashion in the form of the utility chic trend – the spring runways brought jumpsuits and belted trousers and jackets done up in any shade of khaki imaginable. So, expect to see an abundance of patch pockets, cotton drill and cargo pants everywhere you go this spring. The trend that falls somewhere between modern military and safari chic, utility is the ultimate in one-step dressing – it’s efficient, comfortable and cool.

As you reassess your wardrobe for the new season, it’s the perfect time to make sure you have all the trendy items you’ll ever need to put together chic and fashionable spring outfits.

How to Get Your Body Ready for Spring

Although your oversized sweaters might look good and stylish now, this doesn’t mean that the weight you’ve gained throughout the winter will magically cease to exist. Do not deceive yourself into thinking that it’s way too early to start shaping up for summertime. Bikini weather is just around the corner, and getting that rocking beachbody is no piece of cake. This will take time and effort, so get to work starting today. Below are the most important steps for you to take in order to get your body ready for this spring!

WomanLayingSpringGrass.jpg?profile=RESIZE_710x

Healthy and balanced diet

It's a common misconception that a rigorous and intense workout plan will get you the desired results, but the reality is that it's all for nothing unless your eating habits are coordinated. Diet food does not have to be as unappealing as everyone assumes it to be. Turn healthy into fun by exploring some interesting dishes and recipes and experimenting with international cuisines and exotic spices. After a long winter of stuffing yourself with fats and carbs, when the sunny weather creeps up, salads start to sound tempting and refreshing. The greener, the better and more powerful in helping you lower your insulin levels and thus burn fats more easily. Luckily, this is the prime season for veggies like spinach, artichokes, arugula, and green-leafed berries, so give your fridge a makeover and get ready for a delicious homemade meal plan.

Supplements

Besides a regular meal plan and a healthy and nutritious diet, you might want to consider certain supplements for the best results. Due to busy schedules and everyday stress, sometimes we lack the time and energy to invest in a detailed nutrition plan. This is where supplements in the shape of vitamins, proteins, and amazingly effective weight loss drops come to the rescue. Incorporate these into your everyday diet for a healthy, strong, and energetic kick-off to this spring.

Quit bad habits

The winter holiday season goes hand in hand with a myriad of guilty pleasures, including long hours spent in front of the TV, indulgent dinners, lots of wine, and very limited physical activity. However, with the sun shining, daylight hours getting longer, and layers of clothing coming off, the consequences finally come to the light of day. It's high time to cut down on some or all of those bad habits you’ve picked up. Start with small sacrifices such as cutting out junk food and gradually move on to more difficult ones, like cutting back on your alcohol consumption. Of course, you can still wine and dine from time to time, but when you do, make sure you're still eating right and drinking moderately.

Physical activity

Our worst enemy during the long cold winter is our physical inactivity. No matter how cozy and warm it feels to curl up on the couch in your pajamas, it’s time to get moving! Try reviving an old hobby like skating, hiking, or cycling. Treat your dog to an extra walk every day. Go swimming, jogging, or walking. Ideally, you should have been keeping up with your fitness routine throughout the winter. However, we all know this is rarely the case – so get yourself off your freaking couch and hit the gym or trail first thing in the morning! In case you're still lacking motivation, get a gym buddy, invest in some new workout clothes, or hire a professional trainer to help you stay on the right track and not give up after the first post-gym session sore muscles.

Battling the winter blues is a process that demands hard work, but it is definitely worth it once the revealing spring clothes come into play and zap your desire to overeat. The cold, stay-in weekends are soon to be a thing of the past, and those hot summer days spent on the beach will be there before you blink – so waste no more

Healthy and balanced diet

It's a common misconception that a rigorous and intense workout plan will get you the desired results, but the reality is that it's all for nothing unless your eating habits are coordinated. Diet food does not have to be as unappealing as everyone assumes it to be. Turn healthy into fun by exploring some interesting dishes and recipes and experimenting with international cuisines and exotic spices. After a long winter of stuffing yourself with fats and carbs, when the sunny weather creeps up, salads start to sound tempting and refreshing. The greener, the better and more powerful in helping you lower your insulin levels and thus burn fats more easily. Luckily, this is the prime season for veggies like spinach, artichokes, arugula, and green-leafed berries, so give your fridge a makeover and get ready for a delicious homemade meal plan.

Supplements

Besides a regular meal plan and a healthy and nutritious diet, you might want to consider certain supplements for the best results. Due to busy schedules and everyday stress, sometimes we lack the time and energy to invest in a detailed nutrition plan. This is where supplements in the shape of vitamins, proteins, and amazingly effective weight loss drops come to the rescue. Incorporate these into your everyday diet for a healthy, strong, and energetic kick-off to this spring.

5 Ways to Dress for Comfort and Still Look Stylish

When it comes to fashion, it seems that looking cute and feeling comfortable is rarely a part of the same sentence. For a lot of people it can be a little difficult to wear something cozy without coming off as a slob, but luckily it’s not impossible. In fact, once you learn a few tips, you’ll be able to dress well and feel great with complete ease! Are you eager to update your wardrobe and rock some stylish outfits? Well, here’s how you can do it.

Invest in a few dresses

8843962874?profile=original

Dresses only seem like a high-maintenance garment, but in reality, they’re practically as casual as you can get. Unless you go for a short bodycon dress, they won’t restrict your movements, and they let you slip them on over your head and head out the door in less than five minutes. A baggy sweater dress is a nice choice if you want something fully casual, but we actually recommend that you pick something a little more polished and go for a fit-and-flare cut. This will enhance your figure, and you can either wear it with bare legs if it’s hot outside or go for a cute pair of tights or even leggings.

Don’t ignore the shoes

A good pair of shoes can really bring your outfit to a whole new level, and luckily those shoes can be completely cozy. If you really love heels but hate how uncomfortable they feel, go for nice wedged sandals or ankle boots with chunky heels. Skip those Jimmy Choo-styled stilettos—they might look glam, but they’ll make your feet ache after an hour. Other good options are high top sneakers with some stylish details or a sleek retro classic such as the Birkenstock Gizeh sandals that have anatomically-shaped soles and look absolutely cute when worn. Flat-soled boots, Oxford shoes, and Chelsea shoes are also great options, so find good footwear and your outfits will always look amazing.

Style up your jeans

Jeans can totally look polished, too! The trick to making them look really good is to go for darker denim because it always looks more elegant, and to pick a trendy cropped cut that shows off your ankles. Of course, this also means that you should skip high socks and stick to low-rider cuts and this way you can pair your jeans with some trendy sneakers and look absolutely cool. In general, finding a good pair of jeans that fits your body perfectly is always a good idea because it will give you a go-to garment that you can always rely on when you want to look good. Pair your denim with a silky blouse or a shimmery top if you want an easy evening outfit, and you’ll be ready to go out!

Embrace athleisure

Don’t think sporty outfits are stylish? Just look at Hadid sisters and Kendal Jenner. The famous models love their athleisure outfits, and the trend of cozy yoga pants, hoodies, and chunky sneakers is still on the rise. Mix function with fashion through this style and don’t be afraid to match your sporty things to your denim. For example, your jeans can be a good base to a cute baggy crop top worn over a slim body shirt, or you can wear your denim skirt with sneakers and a brightly-coloured hoodie.

Accessorize like a pro

Accessories can turn any boring outfit into something truly beautiful, so if you’re a fan of very classic cuts and solid colours, you can use accessories to add something interesting. Utilize brightly-coloured silky scarves to add fun layers, and consider grabbing a hat to go with it. Baseball caps and hats are always cool, unexpected details. Jewellery is also a great addition, so invest in some simple hoop earrings that you can pop on whenever you’re going out. Layering thin chain necklaces is also a nice styling trick, but you can also go for a chunkier necklace or even a choker if that’s your thing.

Another good idea is makeup—you won’t believe the kind of difference a lip gloss can make, or better yet, a bold lipstick. If you wear makeup, even if it’s a very minimal amount, you’ll always look a little more put together and fashionable.



Any gal can be stylish. Fashion doesn’t mean you need to commit yourself to always being uncomfortable, so don’t feel limited. Try these tips and enjoy!
