The most important styling tip you’ll ever get!

Hi Everyone,

In a World where most of our cupboards are full and we’re continuously looking for the latest fashion trend to add to our already overstuffed wardrobe, there is one thing to remember. It is your style that will bring out the latest fashion trends. Not the trends that bring out your style.

It is your style that will bring out the latest fashion trends.

Not the trends that bring out your style. 

It is possible to turn absolutely every piece of clothing in your wardrobe into a trendy outfit. The skill lies in the styling.

So how to get the styling right? it’s easier than you may think. The trick is to pick out a few trend looks that you like and then go from there. Have a favourite trend look for work, for dressy and for casual. These looks should be updated each season to keep your styling fresh.

Keep reading to see how to put the most important styling tip ever into practise.

The most important styling tip you’ll ever get!

The example here is the floral dress. We see many of them as florals just don’t want to leave the shops. However keeping the whole look trendy is a matter of styling your dress in different ways.

For the office it would most likely be a matter of matching with blue or red pumps and matching bag. As a casual every day look though it is fun to pair the florals up with something new. In this case it’s the round woven bag.

I’m so happy sneakers are still a hot item as they’re perfect for my busy life of rushing from one place to another. They also give the whole outfit a more youthful look.

For successful styling it’s always the little things that matter more than you realise. The little bit of red at the back of these sneakers may seem insignificant. However it is exactly these little nuances that make an outfit perfectly styled.
