Lent: Break Bad Style Habits
Have you given up your guilty pleasure for lent? Chocolate, coffee, reality TV? If you’re still trying to decide upon the best thing to give up, it isn’t too late. And we’ve got just the thing – bad style habits!
We can all admit to committing a fashion crime or two. Panic buying, hoarding, splurging on clothes we never wear – it happens.
Here’s how to break those bad style habits in 3 simple steps.
Know what you’re buying
Before shopping, have an idea of what you’re going to buy. It helps in making those all-important fashion choices.
If you’re unsure where to start, our Style Hub offers amazing advice and style suggestions. From celebrity insights to creating your own look, we’ve tips and tricks to banish bad style habits. Take a look!
The Hub is split into different sections. We recommend Style Your Shape when sprucing your SS14 wardrobe. This useful tool helps you to choose clothes that cater to your shape, ensuring the perfect fit.
Shopping out of your comfort zone
Something we’re all guilty of is convincing ourselves a certain style isn’t for us. And whilst it’s important to know what you’re buying, it’s good to shop outside your comfort zone. We all need a wild card combo – a dress, skirt or tee that gets you noticed. Find a trend you love and treat yourself.
Heading out with the girls this spring? Don’t shy away. Our Halterneck Swing Dress by French Connection offers a gorgeous choice for those afraid to try new trends.
Pink is a key colour for SS14. The swing cut is super flattering, and needs minimal accessories to make a statement. Team with strappy sandals and a chunky gold bangle to complete the look.
Staple Style
Last but not least, remember staple style – key items you find in every wardrobe. From trusty chinos to holiday maxis, have everything covered. Spring is a difficult month to cater for (we know the sun’s there somewhere!) so transitional pieces are a must. We love this Leather Jacket by Tom Tailor.
It’s effortlessly stylish, and outlasts all seasons. Couple with skinny jeans and flats, or this pretty white Jersey Dress by Laura Scott and wedges.
