  • HOW TO STYLE A CARDIGAN

    HOW TO STYLE A CARDIGAN

    Cardigans have been seen at the forefront of most fashion catwalks this winter season. 

    Some might find cardigans boring but if you know how to style cardigans they will quickly become your ultimate wardrobe essential. And this is why I prepared a quick style guide on the 2020 cardigan trend. 

    Ps: Handy to take it with you when you go shopping 🛍 

    Here are 10 cool Cardigan Looks to choose from this winter:

    Look 1

    Why settle for just one knit when you can wear two? Wear one as a dress and one as a jacket for a layered look that’s perfect for cold weather.

    Look 2

    Go bright with an oversized cardigan for a bold statement.

    Look 3

    Layer up. Just simply layer it over a slim turtleneck and tights.

    Look 4

    Consider wearing a more oversized cardigan as a dress for a modern take on the sweater dress.

    Look 5

    Take that cardigan look to the next level by adding a belt on top, nipping in your waist with even the chinkiest of knits.

    Look 6

    There is nothing we love more than a simple cardigan, tucked into the top of a pair of jeans, for an effortlessly chic Winter uniform.

    Look 7

    When wearing a cardigan as a dress, go for the high-low look with a pair of vintage-looking sneeakers on the bottom.

    Look 8

    Crop tops are not just for summer: reach for a shorter cardigan silhouette to pair with a dress.

    Look 9

    Wear an elongated cardigan over a pencil skirt for a variation on proportion that takes your look to the next level.

    Look 10

    Seek styles that are fashioned more like a cropped jacket, allowing the seasonal essential to do double duty in your transitional wardrobe.

  • Corporate Style Makeover Transformation

    Corporate Style Makeover Transformation

    Giuliana had a big smile on her face at the end of our Style Makeover. She recognised the need to update her style and align it to her personal and career goals, especially after stepping into one of the senior executive roles.

    After carefully examining Giuliana’s style requirements and understanding her lifestyle and work commitments, we started with a Wardrobe Detox session.

    Wardrobe Detox is always a great way to start and review existing clothing, understand what needs to stay or be replaced, based on her age, body shape, colouring, lifestyle, personality, status, goals, likes, and dislikes. We also ensured Giuliana saved money by making the best out of her existing wardrobe before investing in new clothes. We identified missing pieces for her future shopping and compiled a personalised list of essential must-buy items to pull her wardrobe together and bring her image up-to-date.

    After weeding out clothes which does not serve Giuliana, as well as her new style and where she wants to be in life, we proceeded to stores, with a list of purchases, required to replace old and add new items missing from her wardrobe.

    Giuliana’s style makeover proceeded with a make-up session showing her the colours that suit her and techniques to use to enhance her facial features to the maximum. We then proceeded with the hair transformation, a new fresh haircut, for a totally rejuvenated look.

    Once Giuliana’s grooming transformation was complete I took her on an exciting shopping tour, where preselected and handpicked outfits were already waiting for her just to try on, for a truly remarkable experience.

    As a result, Giuliana revealed her full potential and how fabulous she can look at any time.

    She also now:

    • Know how to enhance her best facial features

    • Discovered the colours and shades that suit her

    • Learned about best hairstyle for her

    • Learned styles and lengths that suit her body shape

    • Learned how to mix and match colours and clothes

    • How to put together and purchase complete, flattering outfits that would bring her from day to night and also from one season to the next

    • How to use accessories to alter outfits (i.e. smart move to refresh an outfit / make it new)

    • Know how to emphasize her best assets, look sexy and still be comfortable in the clothes she wears

    • Learned how to shop effectively and productively at the right stores for her

    • Gained greater confidence and a new stylish look

    Hear what Giuliana says about her Style Makeover experience with Style-And-You HERE:

    I really enjoyed creating this Corporate Look for a modern and confident woman.

    The clothing can influence how a woman feels. When it comes to her confidence, sometimes the right outfit can work as a suit of armor to give you that extra boost you need to not just look the part, but to feel it too, and carry yourself accordingly. The purpose of putting on a ‘strong’ outfit is to help you feel your personal best.

    We are so delighted with Giuliana’s transformation and happy to be of service to many other women, who want to unlock the power of personal style.

    Style guide: How to wear suspenders in the office?

    Suspenders have officially made a comeback. They are easy-to-wear, affordable, and a great addition to your wardrobe.

    The world’s most stylish women like to “borrow” from menswear to give their own look some extra edge and oomph. Whether you want to look sharp and stand out at a formal event, spice up your casual clothing or add some flair to your work attire, suspenders provide you with a versatile solution for almost any occasion life chooses to send your way.

    So yes, the great news is that you can rock suspenders look in the office! And look amazing too!

    Suspenders that come with clips allow most pants in your closet to be suspender-friendly. For the most stylish look, choose a pair with a looser fit. If you want to wear a button-on pair, you (or the tailor at your dry cleaners) can always sew buttons inside your pant waistband for you. Alternatively, you can buy trousers that already come with suspender buttons.

    Here are just some of our picks for stylish suspender-ready pants:
