  • 3 WAYS TO WEAR THE VEST TREND: ALL YEAR ROUND!

    3 WAYS TO WEAR THE VEST TREND: ALL YEAR ROUND!

    Style is a tool and in Style-And-You we show you how to use it. We specialise in helping people make the right choices for their body type, lifestyle, and personality.  But more than anything … we love making you feel and look great.  

    In case you have not noticed… but men’s waistcoats have definitely entered women’s wardrobe and are here to stay. And gone are the days when a waistcoat (or a vest) is worn only as the third piece of a lounge suit.

    So, if you love tailored and menswear-inspired pieces with minimalist vibe then these style tips will help you get the most out of your vest investment. 



     3 EASY WAYS TO WEAR A VEST ALL YEAR ROUND:


    1.   Wear a tailored vest shirtless! This sexy, chic and standalone way to wear it will help you stay cool during the summer months. Pairing with a wide-leg pant can create a more professional vibe or pair with a matching linen/cotton loose pants for a casual vibe.

    2.   The beauty about wearing a vest, is that it is a tran-seasonal and versatile piece. So wearing it now in Spring or Winter is easy – simply layer it over a simple white T-shirt or shirt to keep the chills away, which is a perfect option for the office or out of office days too. 

    3.   Want to wear it all year round? Wear the vest over a turtleneck as an underneath layer during colder months. Cashmere turtleneck (as I am wearing in the last image on the right) works perfectly as an under-layer to keep you snug and warm.

    To create a stylish and modern outfit, you can pair your vest with loose trousers and trendy sandals for summer months. Or pair it with sleek leather loafers or boots for colder months. 

    You can also pair your vest with loose-fit jeans, pleated Bermuda shorts, or a silky slip skirt. And it will look equally great under a blazer or oversize suit or denim jacket if the weather calls for an extra layer.

    Accessorise with a colourful tote bag and you’re all set. For a more professional vibe opt for a canvas or overall tote bag in neutral colour. 

    Kendall Jenner rocks this outfit with easy minimal chic combination of tailored wide leg pants and a tailored vest.

  • HOW TO STYLE A SKIRT?

    HOW TO STYLE A SKIRT?

    SKIRTS DO’s and DONT’s

    Let’s talk about skirts today. Based on my recent poll most of you like wearing skirts, and rightly so as this is one of the most feminine pieces of clothing we all have in our wardrobes. 

    ✅  Now you can wear almost any skirt and mix it with other items in your wardrobe. However, the older it gets the more challenging it is to make it look modern and flattering. 

    ✅  What matters is not WHAT you wear but HOW you wear it! The same goes for skirts. 

    ✅  When wearing a skirt you need to take into account: your body shape, colours, and texture of the skirt, pattern, and how to mix it for a flattering effect. 

    Here I prepared a few examples for you to compare and use as a guide…
