Ballet flats are never going out of style. Period. They’re the ultimate mix of chic and effortless. A shoe you can slip on and instantly look put-together—without the pain of heels. The best part? They go with everything. From jeans to dresses, workwear to weekend looks, ballet flats are the ultimate style chameleon. But there’s a fine line between looking chic and looking, well… like a 2000s throwback gone wrong. Don’t worry—I’ve got you covered. Let’s get into the best ways to style ballet flats so you can look polished, modern, and seriously chic! Pair Them with a Trench Coat for Instant Elegance Nothing says effortless style quite like a classic trench coat. When you throw one over a pair of wide-leg jeans and ballet flats, you get that perfectly polished, slightly mysterious vibe—like you just stepped off a Parisian street. It’s the easiest way to look put-together without even trying. For a modern touch, go for a cropped trench that hits just at the waist, adding structure while letting your flats take center stage. A belted trench coat will also define your silhouette beautifully, making the whole look feel even more refined. Want to go full-on Old Money? Opt for a beige or camel trench with black ballet flats and a sleek leather handbag—timeless, elegant, and effortless. Channel Parisian Chic with the Right Outfit French women have mastered the art of looking sophisticated in ballet flats, and you can too! A black blazer, white jeans, a Breton striped top, and two-tone ballet flats? Perfection.

Are you a heels or flats kind of girl?

We’ve all been there – standing in front of the full length mirror with a heel on one foot and a flat on the other, pacing back and forth trying to decide which one to pair with our outfit for the evening. If we wear flats, we won’t be as tall but at least we will be comfortable and running for the last train home will be a possibility. On the other hand, if we wear heels, our legs will be elongated and we will have better posture all evening. In the end, we decide to wear heels but carry our flats just in case we need to give our feet a rest towards the end of the night. How many of you can relate? Heels v flats is an endless dilemma – one which the boys will never fully understand – which is why Westfield has released a short film all about it. How clever! Directed by Sean Frank, the Heels v Flats video is a great short film which shows that you can have just as much fun in flats as you can in heels, and we urge you to watch it to see what we – and Westfield – are talking about. What do you guys think of the video? Fellow bloggers – why don’t you share the video with your readers and Twitter followers with the hashtag #heelsvflats to spread the “you can have just as much fun in flats as you can in heels” word? You never know, it might catch on and the likes of Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin may be forced to make even more flat dancing shoes! In the meantime, check out the official Westfield blog (Pulse) to get some heels v flats inspiration… Sponsored article

Get Alexa Chung’s Carven/flats look

As we learnt last week while watching the latest Chanel Couture show, heels are pretty much a thing of the past as it’s all about flats, baby! Alexa Chung is one lady who didn’t need Karl Lagerfeld to convince her to step out in flats, as she’s been rocking the heel-less trend for years, which is probably why she does it so well. One of her latest looks is a perfect example of this, hence why we are more than happy to admit to stealing her style. It isn’t the cheapest of outfits this week, but both Carven dress and Charlotte Olympia flats can be classed as “investment pieces” that can be worn season after season. Winner! Broderie anglasie kiwi-print dress, £570, Carven available at Matches Kitty flat slippers, £458.53, Charlotte Olympia available at Far Fetch [Image]

Steep vs. Cheap: Leopard-print flats

Gone are the days when heels were an absolute must, and sporting flats confined you to the naughty corner. Now, it seems comfort and style can sit side-by-side, and our heel-ravaged feet couldn’t be happier! But, like most ‘sensible’ things, flats don’t have to spell B-O-R-I-N-G. No. Splashed in leopard-print, we can’t get enough of this week’s Steep.vs.Cheap loafers, and we’ve even done the leg work to track down the best buys to suit all budgets. In at the steep end; the Michael Kors Jesyln slip-ons (£275) are a winner if you’re looking to spend the pennies. Crafted in luxurious calf hair and leather, these classic beauties will work wonders to amp up an off-duty look. But, if you’re perspiring at the thought of parting with so many pounds, then fear not! We’ve hunted down the perfect high street alternative at Oasis (£28) that’ll have you looking equally as stylish – even when it’s a jeans-and-tee kinda day – for a fraction of the price! Will you save or splurge? Steep: Michael Kors Jeslyn slip-ons, £275, available at Zalando. Cheap: Leopard-print loafers, £28, available at Oasis.

Would you use foot numbing spray to avoid wearing flats?

At the height of a heel addiction (pardon the pun), its surprising what some women will do to fill the Choo. After all, sporting flats is so not fashion, dahling! Well, that was until loafers and slippers decided to take over the footwear landscape, and turn the heels-only rule on its head. But, spending all day tottering around in luscious lace-up heels can only mean three things: crushing pain, throbbing soles, and not to mention, a hefty podiatry bill. Not forgetting we exist in an app-for-everything time, a nifty spray to cancel out heel-induced pain has been invented. Interested? So are we. Jezebel reported on Heel No Pain (geddit?), the brainchild of Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Randal Haworth,  that works by numbing the feet, so you don’t feel the painful effects of rocking those generously heeled Louboutin’s over the course of a day. Sounds mind numbingly (sorry, we just had to) absurd, but apparently it works. Speaking to The Daily Mail, Dr. Haworth said: “Heel No Pain is basically a painkiller with heat treatment, so it is able to penetrate the skin. Unlike getting an injection, the spray doesn’t take away protective pain reflexes. The pain simply dissipates.” A self-confessed shoe addict, Haworth went on to say: ‘I suffer my own fair share of foot pain. I’m a fashionista at heart, and I like stylish shoes.” Cucumber scented, and with a price tag of $15 (£9) for a handbag-sized bottle, the FDA approved spray takes 15 minutes to get to work, and boasts a success on 70 per cent of people who try it. Pretty impressive, given that we’ve run out of solutions to stop our feet feeling separate from our body at the end of a night out. Could this spray under a tenner be the answer to every […]

Shoe-spiration! 5 of our fave comfy flats!

Ladies, don’t fear flats – flats are our friends! Not only are they super-comfy, and not only do they make running for the bus or train just that little bit easier, but they also look pretty gosh darn good with just about anything. They might not be our first choice for Glastonbury and other such muddy festivals, but when it comes to choosing a comfy pair of footwear for a brisk walk around London, a casual commute to the office, or a Cara Delevingne style tomboy chic look, they are there for us in their hundreds. To save you time, we’ve looked through those aforementioned hundreds and chosen five of our current favourite flats: 1. – Kate Middleton knows how powerful and leg-elongating a good nude heel can be, but that doesn’t mean a nude flat isn’t powerful either. Au contraire, this pointed flat is as elegant as it is versatile – we challenge you to find a harder working flat! Oasis metal insert pointed flat shoes, £38 2. – Princess Jasmine, eat your heart out. These rich, Arabian nights inspired deluxe flats from the shoe gurus at Jimmy Choo will have everyone green with envy when they clap eyes on them. A true footwear investment that is worth every penny and will see you through the hot summer days in style. Jimmy Choo Bahar gold and turquoise sandals, £995 £697 3. – Want to exude that casual, effortless, air of fashion confidence that Alexa Chung does while incorporating your love of embellishment all in one go? Why don’t you try these gorgeous black loafers on for size? ASOS moonbeam flat shoes, £45 £31.50 4. – If top models and pop singers can make sneakers look cool, and if the fashion big guns like Gucci actually make them, who are […]

Steep vs. Cheap: Pointed red flats

Need a break from heels? After waxing lyrical about the ultra-comfrotable fashion sneaker, we’re moving onto something a little brighter, and chicer. Enter the eye-popping pointed flat pump. A city-stroller’s take on doing pointed heels sans painful feet; we’re a little bit in love with the romantically rich red colour and the overall Parisian vibe these pumps exude. Looking for an investment buy, then look no further than the Jenni Kayne d’orsay flats. Their buttery suede existence, pillar-box red colour and foot-flattering form are making us want to go on the heel fast, and were already dreaming about pairing these beauties with dark skinny jeans, a simple tee and a spacious tote for livening up an off-duty look. But as gorgeous as these Jenni Kayne flats are, at £306.57 they’re set to pinch the pocket. Don’t sweat it though, because we’ve found an equally shop-worthy pair for a fraction of the price! Head to high street haunt Zara, where you can snap up a look-alike version of the d’orsay flats for a mere £19.99! Saving you money whilst keeping you stylish, it’s what we do best.

Keep calm and wear flats…

It’s official. Flats are the new black. We thought a couple of pigs would have to fly before Victoria would be seen in a pair of flats but lo and behold the Queen of stilettos ditched her killer heels for a pair of brogues….and we have to admit she pulled it off extremely well. She’s not the only one….more and more of the celebs we know and love for their sky-high Louboutins are now sky-falling (pun intended) to the ground gracefully and opting for “comfort” over “glamour”. So why the change? We’re not quite sure but we certainly approve! Who says Beauty doesn’t always have to equal pain you know…. Now on to the important stuff. Where to buy a great pair of flats? Right now we’re loving the “tab shoe”. A great addition to your shoe collection for the new season. These mustard beauties by Stylistpick caught our eye along with the snake version too. Now we can’t say we’re the biggest fan of brogues to be honest but we are partial to a loafer or two especially these leather loafers by J.W. Anderson for Topshop.

Tuesday Shoesday: Hats off to Flats!

As we welcome with open arms the long-awaited intervention of the glorious sun into grey British weather, the other highly anticipated intervention is a fashionable one; a fashionable and  comfortable one in fact. Let us introduce the new season shoe-crush: the Comfort Sandal. You may frown upon this concept at first, thinking they fall into Scholl territory, but, one glance at the spring/summer 2012 catwalks and you’ll realise that even the designers were crushing on the heelless shoe. Championed at Christopher Kane in the form of pool sandals, and dearly accepted by the fashion clique, we knew straight off flats were the new high. Metallic soles with black leather straps and Perspex upper detailing showed up at 3.1 Phillip Lim, whilst Alexander Wang put out the lugged rubber sole, perforated lambskin Karlie sandal we instantly fell head over flats in love with (pun intended). Although leaning towards the season’s prominent sporty trend, Kane paired his with pretty florals and glistening brocade minis and 3.1 Phillip Lim thought nothing of the Comfort Sandal looking equally desirable with Easter egg pastels. It’s no longer a crime to omit heels from your outfit, especially when the alternative looks this good! Channel the trend with our hot-to-trot Comfort Sandal picks and give your over-worked, over-heeled feet a well-deserved summer break! 1. Pastiche Metallic Sandals, £70, available at Topshop 2. 3.1 Phillip Lim Mirrored Metallic Sandals, £335, available at My Theresa 3. Ann Demeulemeester women’s Camoscio Skeletal Sandals, £600, available at LN-CC 4. Senso Indiana Patent Strapped Sandals, £125, available at ASOS 5. Alexander Wang Karlie Flat Sandals, £257.72, available at Shopbop 6. Givenchy Virginia Biker Glitter Sandals, £515, available at My Theresa 7.

Definitely worth splurging on! Christian Louboutin Pigalle leather flats, £625 available at Matches.

When we first clapped eyes on Stefano Pilati’s spring 2009 footwear, we weren’t too sure… then we got used to the cage shoe and before we knew it, we were looking for inexpensive alternatives.

These suede pumps from Belle by Sigerson Morrison won’t exactly keep the feet dry so we might have to wait until we see a sign of the sun again before we can come up with an excuse to purchase them, but they’re bound to be much more comfortable for our tootsies. $220 from Shopbop.

While I love spring and the warm weather it brings, I haven’t managed to find the time to get a pedicure.

From Coffee Dates to Workdays – Classy Fall Outfits That Do It All

There’s something magical about fall. Maybe it’s the crisp air. Maybe it’s the cinnamon-scented everything. Or maybe—just maybe—it’s the fashion. Autumn is that sweet spot where your wardrobe gets to play with layers, textures, and colors in ways summer just doesn’t allow. It’s also the season where your outfit needs to do a lot. One minute you’re sipping a latte with a friend, the next you’re running to a meeting. And you want to look chic for both. That’s the magic of these fall outfit ideas. They’re not just stylish. They work. From low-key Sunday strolls to packed workdays, these looks are as versatile as your calendar. Brown suede blazer + jeans = your new go-to There’s something about a brown suede blazer that just feels like fall. Rich, warm, textured… it pulls together any outfit without trying too hard. Throw it over a crisp white tee and your favorite pair of high-waisted jeans and boom—you’re instantly put together, or pair with a black turtleneck, dark wash jeans and ankle boots for chillier days. Add some gold jewelry and ankle boots, and you’ve got a look that can take you from a casual coffee meet-up to client calls. It’s professional, but not stuffy. Relaxed, but not lazy. The kind of outfit that says, “I’ve got this.” SHOP THE LOOK Classic knitwear, jeans, and timeless shoes This combo never goes out of style. A soft knit, think heather grey, navy, or cream, paired with straight-leg jeans and your go-to pumps or ballet flats? It’s a no-brainer. This look is effortless for errands but polished enough for casual Fridays. Keep your knit slightly oversized for a cozy vibe, or go fitted and French-tuck it for that chic, Parisian flair. And don’t underestimate the power of shoes here. A pointed toe makes it […]

There’s something seriously satisfying about keeping it simple. No loud prints. No over-the-top trends. Just clean lines, neutral tones, and timeless pieces that always look good. That’s the magic of minimalist fashion. It’s not about having less—it’s about loving what you wear.

The Light Blue Button-Up + Cream Wide-Leg Jeans Combo This pairing is like a deep breath for your wardrobe. The light blue button-up is crisp but casual. The cream wide-leg jeans feel fresh and breezy. Together? They’re the kind of outfit you can throw on for a Monday meeting or a Saturday brunch and look perfectly put-together every time.

These Fall Work Outfits Will Make You Excited to Get Dressed

Getting dressed for work in the fall can go one of two ways. Either you feel completely uninspired and reach for that same grey sweater again… or you build an outfit that makes you feel like you’ve got your life together before you’ve even had coffee. This guide? It’s for the second kind of morning. Because, when your outfit works with the season and makes you feel confident, you walk into that office (or Zoom call) with a little more energy. A little more you. Let’s dive into the kind of fall work outfits that are chic, practical, and actually fun to wear. Outfits that make Monday feel a bit less Monday-ish. Outfits that feel like a fresh start… with style. Tailored black suit + a playful polka dot blouse There’s something powerful about a black suit. It’s sharp. It’s timeless. But when you pair it with a polka dot blouse? Suddenly, it gets a personality. The structured lines of the blazer and trousers set the tone: polished and professional. But then that dotted silk or chiffon blouse peeks out, softening the whole look with a bit of playfulness. Add pointed-toe ankle boots or sleek loafers, and you’re good to go. Burgundy statement blazer, stirrup leggings and heels This one’s for the days when you want to feel like you run the room. A rich burgundy blazer is a fall dream: warm, bold, and effortlessly striking. Pair it with black stirrup leggings and classic pumps, and you’ve got a look that’s part boardroom, part runway. The structure on top balances the sleek silhouette on the bottom, and the stirrups give off that quiet nod to ’80s-inspired fashion—without going full costume. And the best part? You’re comfortable. Like, shockingly so. Which means you can actually focus on your day instead of […]

25+ Early Fall Outfits That Make the Summer-to-Fall Transition Effortless

Early fall can be confusing. One day it feels like summer… the next, you’re shivering in the morning but sweating by 3 PM. So what’s a girl to wear when the weather can’t make up its mind? The secret? Outfits that layer well, move with you, and feel just the right amount of cozy without diving headfirst into winter mode. We’re talking texture, easy silhouettes, and a mix of summer faves with fall staples. Ready to see what actually works in real life? Start with a brown suede jacket There’s something undeniably fall about a brown suede jacket. It adds instant warmth—not just physically, but aesthetically. Whether you throw it over a tee with wide leg jeans or pair it with tailored trousers, it’s that go-to piece you’ll reach for again and again. Wide leg pants balance the softness of suede perfectly. And if you’re heading into chillier territory, just add a lightweight knit underneath. It’s cozy but still polished enough for coffee runs, casual workdays, or lazy Sundays at the farmer’s market. Want to dress it up? Swap the tee for a silk blouse, tuck it in, and add some ankle boots. Suddenly, you’ve gone from errands to evening drinks without changing a thing. Try a leather jacket If suede’s a bit too soft for your vibe, swap it for a black or brown leather jacket. Something structured, something classic. Pair it with wide-leg or baggy jeans. Add a simple white tee or fitted turtleneck and you’re ready to go. For a sporty-meets-edgy look, opt for leggings instead of jeans. And on colder mornings add an extra layer by throwing a hoodie under your leather jacket. The contrast in textures creates dimension, and it’s warm without being bulky. Wear a cardigan with tailored trousers This is one of those […]

Italian Girl Summer? These Outfits Say Yes, Please

There’s something in the air when summer hits the Italian coast. Maybe it’s the scent of citrus trees and sea salt… or maybe it’s the fashion.  Light, romantic, and unapologetically feminine…Italian summer style isn’t about following trends. It’s about a mood. A feeling. A way of life. It’s the art of walking to get gelato in a dress that turns heads. It’s linen trousers fluttering in the breeze. It’s a bold red lip paired with a glass of wine and a view of the Amalfi Coast. And yes, you can channel all of that magic, no passport required. Let’s talk about the 8 outfits that whisper “Italian Girl Summer” so effortlessly, you’ll wonder how you ever dressed for July any other way. Corset midi dress… yes, the one that makes you feel like you’re starring in a romance novel Picture this. A golden hour stroll through Positano. You’re wearing a fitted corset midi dress with delicate straps, maybe a small slit up the side. It hugs your waist just right. The skirt sways as you walk. People glance. You feel… confident. That’s what a corset midi dress does. It doesn’t have to be tight or uncomfortable. The modern ones? They come with soft smocking at the back, breathable cotton or linen fabric, and subtle boning that gives just the right amount of structure. They’re sexy in that nonchalant, I-just-threw-this-on way. Pair it with flat leather sandals or kitten heels. Add a simple necklace or gold hoops. Done. Suddenly, you’re not just running errands. You’re making an entrance. SHOP THE LOOK Shorts, a vest, and that “old money” cardigan casually slung over your shoulders This combo is for sipping iced espresso outside a sun-drenched café, people-watching behind your oversized sunglasses. There’s something so timeless, so clean, about tailored shorts and a […]

Satin Skirts Are Having a Moment—And Your Capsule Wardrobe Needs One

You’ve curated your capsule wardrobe. You’ve got the tailored blazer, the white tee, your favorite denim, and that trusty little black dress. Everything feels streamlined, simplified…intentional. But your closet still feels a little…flat? Let’s talk about the piece that adds depth, elegance, and effortless versatility to your everyday style. The satin skirt. It might not be the first item you think of when building a timeless wardrobe, but it deserves a front-row seat and once you add it, you’ll wonder how you managed without it. This isn’t just about trends. It’s about choosing pieces that work harder, style easier, and feel better, season after season. Satin Skirts Are the Ultimate Year-Round Essential When you think about your wardrobe staples, chances are you separate them into seasons. The chunky sweater lives in the winter bin. Your linen trousers wait patiently for summer. But the satin skirt? It doesn’t take sides. Wear it with a chunky knit and boots in January. Slip it on with a tank and slides in July. The magic of satin is in its adaptability. It looks luxe in winter’s moody tones and feels fresh in the pastel glow of spring. Whether you’re layering or keeping it simple, a satin skirt moves through the seasons with quiet elegance. And the best part? It never feels forced. It just works. You can also experiment with seasonal tones and accessories. Go for burgundy or deep navy in colder months, then transition to blush pinks or light neutrals when the sun comes out. The fabric holds color beautifully, giving you the freedom to shift your palette while keeping your silhouette consistent. From Morning Coffee to Evening Cocktails Getting dressed for the day sometimes means planning two outfits. One for errands or the office, another for that dinner reservation later. A satin […]

What To Wear In Summer When You’re Over 50 And Want To Stay Stylish?

Dressing for summer when you’re over 50 can be… complicated. You want to stay cool, but you also want to look chic. You want pieces that feel youthful, but not like you’re raiding your daughter’s closet. And you’re definitely NOT here for anything that clings, pinches, or makes you sweat unnecessarily. So what do you wear when you’re in your fifties (and fabulous) and want to feel stylish all summer long? You lean into your confidence. You focus on what flatters. You skip the trends that make you feel silly and embrace the ones that make you feel alive. This is your summer style glow-up… and it’s going to feel GOOD. Start with the pieces that work every time You don’t need a huge wardrobe. What you need are those high-quality basics that make getting dressed feel easy. Think cotton poplin shirts that drape just right. Crisp white tees that hold their shape. Linen trousers that move with you, not against you. And fabric? It matters. Breathable materials like linen, cotton, and bamboo blends are lifesavers in summer heat. They look elevated, feel light, and they don’t cling where you wish they wouldn’t. Find those basics that feel like you… and build from there. A few more ideas to round out your essentials: A tank top with thicker straps that hides your bra. A lightweight chambray shirt you can tie at the waist or leave open over a dress. A pair of white jeans (yes, even over 50!) in a straight-leg or cropped cut. And a flattering pair of tailored shorts that hit mid-thigh or just above the knee—no more baggy, awkward lengths! Build your summer capsule with about 10-12 strong pieces, and you’ll be surprised at how many outfits you can create. Flattering shapes that still feel modern If […]

9 Style Rules Every Woman Over 50 Should Break

Style rules are meant to be broken. Especially the ones society tries to force on women over 50. If you’ve ever felt boxed in by silly fashion guidelines, it’s time to shake them off. You’ve lived, you’ve learned, and now you deserve to wear whatever makes you feel alive, chic, and unstoppable. Fashion isn’t about age. It’s about confidence. And confidence comes from wearing what you love. So let’s talk about those outdated rules… and why you should toss them right out the window! 1. Don’t Wear Bold Colors Some people say women over 50 should stick to muted tones and neutrals. WHY? Who decided bold colors have an expiration date? Bright pink, electric blue, vibrant red — these shades light up your skin, make you look fresher, and show the world you’re full of energy. Wearing bold colors isn’t just about fashion. It’s about attitude. The next time you’re drawn to a striking shade, wear it. Watch how many compliments roll in! Life’s too short for boring beige. And if bold clothing feels too much, start small. Add a bright scarf, a colorful handbag, or a pair of statement shoes. Before you know it, you’ll crave that pop of color. It wakes up your wardrobe and, honestly, your spirit. 2. Avoid Trendy Pieces There’s this idea floating around that trends are only for the younger crowd. Oh, please. If anything, they’re for the women who know exactly who they are and want to have fun with fashion. You don’t need to jump on every trend. But when something catches your eye — oversized blazers, wide-leg jeans, or chunky chain necklaces — try it! Style is supposed to be playful. And guess what? You can absolutely rock a pair of barrel jeans and still look classy. Trust your instincts. Trends […]

Transform Your Long Skirts From Frumpy to Fabulous With These Styling Tips!

Let’s talk about long skirts. They’re not just for fancy events or boho vacations. Long skirts are everywhere right now — and honestly? I’m obsessed. Why? Because they’re so easy to wear. You can dress them up, dress them down, make them chic, casual, or cozy. They do it all. And if you’ve ever looked at a long skirt and thought, “Cute… but how would I even style that?” Long skirts are actually one of the most versatile pieces you can own. I’m going to show you exactly how to wear them in ways that feel modern, flattering, and super easy to pull off. No stress. No overthinking. Just outfits that work. How To Style Long Skirts 1. Show Some Ankle! This might sound small, but trust me — it makes a HUGE difference. The easiest way to make a long skirt look stylish (and not like you’re drowning in fabric) is to let a little ankle peek through. Pointed-toe shoes work wonders. Strappy sandals? Even better. I once wore a long skirt with chunky shoes that hid my ankles completely… disaster. I looked like I was standing in a fabric tent. Lesson learned! Keep that ankle visible and the entire outfit looks lighter and more intentional. 2. Pick the Right Skirt for YOUR Body Not every skirt suits every body. And that’s totally fine! The key is knowing what works for you. If you’re pear-shaped, A-line or flared skirts are magical. They balance out your hips and flow in all the right places. Apple shapes? High-waisted, flowy skirts that cinch the waist will make you feel amazing. If you’re hourglass, pretty much anything goes… but make sure to show off that waistline! Trust me, when your skirt flatters your shape, it stops being intimidating and starts being your go-to […]

How To Style Shorts Like A Pro (AND Outfit Ideas You’ll Want To Copy!)

If you’ve been avoiding shorts because they feel too casual, too young, or just… not stylish enough, I get it. But here’s the truth—it’s not the shorts, it’s how you style them. With the right pieces, shorts can be effortlessly chic, insanely flattering, and even work for dressier occasions. Yes, really! So if you’ve been side-eyeing shorts, unsure if they’re right for you, don’t worry. I’ve put together styling tricks and outfit ideas that’ll completely change the way you see them. Find the Sweet Spot for Length Shorts are NOT one-size-fits-all. The trick is finding a length that flatters YOUR body. If you’re on the taller side, longer styles that hit mid-thigh or just above the knee will create a balanced look. Petite? A shorter hemline will make your legs look miles long. And if you’re somewhere in between? Bermuda shorts, tailored cuts, or a classic mid-thigh length are all winners. A great trick to test the right length? Stand straight and let your arms hang naturally. If the hem of your shorts lines up with your fingertips, you’ve got a universally flattering length! But rules are made to be broken—so try on a few styles and see what works for YOU. You want shorts that breathe, move, and feel GOOD Ditch fabrics that are too stiff or clingy. Linen and cotton? PERFECTION for warm weather. Denim? A timeless choice. And silk or leather? Oh, you fancy, huh? These luxe fabrics are perfect for dressing up shorts for a night out. One fabric mistake to avoid? Anything too sheer or unlined. Always do a natural light check before heading out—nobody wants to realize their shorts are see-through when they’re already outside! It’s All About Balance A golden rule of styling: if your shorts are fitted, go for a looser top. […]

What To Wear To Work In The Summer? (Your Guide For Every Office Dress Code)

Summer at the office can be tricky. It’s hot outside, freezing inside, and you still need to look professional. The struggle is real! You want to stay cool and comfortable, but you also need to stick to your office dress code. Whether your workplace is strictly formal, business professional, business casual, relaxed, or even remote, dressing for summer requires strategy. So, how do you balance style, professionalism, and summer’s rising temperatures? Understanding Office Dress Codes in the Summer Work dress codes exist for a reason—whether it’s about projecting a certain image to clients or maintaining a cohesive office culture. But summer heat throws a curveball into the mix. What works in fall and winter doesn’t always translate when temperatures soar. Different offices have different expectations, and it’s important to dress accordingly. A corporate setting isn’t the same as a laid-back creative agency, and working from home has its own set of style rules (or lack thereof!). The key? Understanding how to tweak your wardrobe while staying within the lines of professionalism. One of the biggest mistakes professionals make is assuming that summer equals relaxed rules. In reality, while some offices do become more lenient, others maintain strict policies year-round. Pay attention to your company’s dress code, observe what others are wearing, and when in doubt—ask HR! It’s better to clarify than to accidentally show up in something that doesn’t align with company standards. Summer Work Outfit Ideas for Every Dress Code Formal/Corporate Office (Strict Dress Code) In a traditional corporate environment, the expectation is clear: polished, structured, and always professional. But summer calls for a few smart adjustments. Linen-blend suits are a game changer. They keep you looking sharp without the stifling weight of wool. Opt for breathable cotton or silk blouses instead of heavier button-ups. A sleek, structured dress […]

Check the Venue Before You Check Your Closet Before you start pulling every dress and pair of heels you own out of your closet, take a moment to figure out the venue. A swanky fine-dining restaurant is a different ball game from a laid-back café. You don’t want to be over-the-top OR underdressed. A quick Google search or a peek at their Instagram will give you the clues you need. Check their menu and ambiance—if they serve gourmet tasting menus, you’re looking at an upscale dress code. If it’s a rustic, cozy spot, something chic but relaxed will work best. Pay attention to customer photos, too—what are other women wearing? Use that as a reference point! Once you’ve got that sorted, it’s time for the FUN part—picking out the perfect outfit! The Outfit That Never Fails: The Little Black Dress If you’re ever stuck, let me introduce you to your style superhero—the LBD. A well-fitted little black dress works for just about any dinner date.

What To Wear To The Airport In Summer? (Style Tips & Outfit Ideas)

The travel outfit struggle is real. Summer vacations are exciting. But dressing for the airport? That can be a challenge. You need an outfit that’s comfortable, stylish, and practical enough to handle security checks, long walks through terminals, and unpredictable airplane temperatures. The good news? You don’t have to sacrifice style for comfort! With the right outfit, you can breeze through the airport feeling fresh, looking chic, and ready to take on your summer adventure. The Perfect Tops for Air Travel When it’s blazing hot outside but the airport AC is cranked up to arctic levels, layering is your secret weapon. Start with a breathable base—think cotton, linen, or a modal-blend tee. These fabrics keep air flowing, preventing that dreaded sticky feeling. Avoid anything too tight or synthetic—it’ll trap heat and have you sweating before you even board. A lightweight button-down shirt? Genius. Wear it open over your tank top or t-shirt for an effortlessly cool look, then button it up when the airplane turns into an icebox. Bonus: it doubles as a light cover-up if you’re heading straight from the airport to a tropical destination. Want to feel a little more polished? A relaxed blouse in a breezy fabric looks chic while keeping things comfortable. Flowy silhouettes give you room to move, while soft fabrics like linen or modal keep you cool. Just avoid anything too stiff or tight—you’re going to be sitting for a while, after all. If you’re heading straight to a meeting or an event, consider a structured yet comfy top that doesn’t wrinkle easily, so you step off the plane looking fresh! Pants vs. Shorts: The Ultimate Airport Debate It’s tempting to reach for shorts when it’s scorching outside, but airplanes aren’t exactly built for summer weather. Between the AC blasting and the thought of […]

9 Simple Ways To Dress Professionally

Dressing professionally doesn’t mean looking stiff, outdated, or—worse—boring. You can still be stylish, polished, and completely yourself while commanding respect in any setting. But, figuring out the right balance between stylish and professional isn’t always easy. Some outfits feel too corporate and dull, while others lean too casual. The secret? It’s all in the details. These nine simple styling tips will transform the way you approach your work wardrobe. Whether you’re stepping into an office, leading a meeting over Zoom, or networking at an event, these tips will ensure you look the part, feel confident, and never second-guess your outfit again. 1. Blazers Are Your Shortcut to Instant Polish Nothing transforms an outfit faster than a well-fitted blazer. It’s the easiest way to take any look—jeans and a tee, a simple dress, or even a casual knit—and make it instantly professional. But here’s the thing: Not all blazers are created equal. The wrong fit can make you look bulky or outdated, while the right one sharpens your silhouette and elevates everything. If your blazer is too big, it swallows you. Too tight? It looks stiff and uncomfortable. What works? A tailored, structured blazer that fits like a dream. If you want a modern look, try a cropped blazer with high-waisted trousers or a sleek double-breasted style for extra authority. And while black is a go-to, don’t underestimate camel, navy, or soft gray—they’re just as versatile but feel fresh and sophisticated. Want to add personality? Try a subtle print like houndstooth or plaid. It’s professional, but with a little edge. 2. Basic Pieces, But Make Them High Quality Let’s talk wardrobe basics—those essential pieces that form the foundation of your outfits. A crisp white button-down, tailored black trousers, a sleek pencil skirt, or a well-fitted knit sweater. These might sound simple, […]

Dressing Your Age After 40? Think Again – Here’s How to Stay Stylish

Who decided that hitting 40 meant dressing a certain way? Somewhere along the line, society started throwing around rules—no mini skirts, no ripped jeans, no fun. But let’s be honest: style has zero age limit. If you’ve ever second-guessed an outfit because you thought, Is this too young for me?—it’s time to change that mindset. Looking stylish in your 40s (and beyond) isn’t about dressing “appropriately.” It’s about dressing confidently. The key? Wearing what makes you feel amazing while elevating your wardrobe with pieces that scream effortless sophistication. Whether you love sleek tailoring, statement accessories, or classic denim with a twist, there are endless ways to keep your style fresh without falling into the “age-appropriate” trap. 1. Discovering Your Personal Style Again Rediscovering your personal style in your 40s is all about refining what works for you and letting go of what doesn’t. Life changes—your wardrobe should too! If you’re feeling stuck in a fashion rut, it’s time to take a fresh approach. Start by gathering inspiration. Scroll through Pinterest, flip through fashion magazines, or follow stylish women on Instagram. Notice what catches your eye and create a mood board of outfits that excite you. This will help you see patterns in what you naturally gravitate toward. Next, do a closet audit. Take stock of what you love wearing and what’s just taking up space. If you haven’t worn something in over a year, chances are you won’t miss it. Let it go and make room for pieces that truly reflect your current style. Experiment, experiment, experiment….Your 40s are the perfect time to explore different silhouettes, colors, and trends that suit your personality and lifestyle. What worked in your 30s might not feel the same now, and that’s completely okay. Fashion is meant to evolve with you. Most importantly, keep […]

What To Wear To The Races? Must-Know Tips & Race Day Outfit Ideas

Heading to the races? Get ready, because this isn’t just any day out—it’s the perfect excuse to go all-out with your fashion game. Whether you’re planning to strut your stuff at the Kentucky Derby, sip champagne at Royal Ascot, or brace the chill at Cheltenham, one thing’s for sure: Your outfit matters just as much as the horses. This is your chance to dress to impress, channeling elegance and sophistication while still having fun with your look. But with all the traditions and dress codes surrounding race-day fashion, where do you even start? Before you start shopping, let’s break down everything you need to know to dress like a seasoned race-day pro. 1. Always Check the Dress Code First I know, I know—it’s tempting to dive straight into outfit planning, but every major racing event has its own set of rules. At Royal Ascot, for instance, the dress code is famously strict, requiring formal dresses, hats, and absolutely no spaghetti straps if you’re stepping into the Royal Enclosure. The Kentucky Derby is a little more playful, encouraging bold, spring-inspired outfits, complete with floral prints and larger-than-life fascinators. Meanwhile, Cheltenham calls for practicality with a stylish twist, favoring tweed and countryside-inspired attire. Ignoring the dress code isn’t just a fashion faux pas—it could mean being refused entry at certain enclosures, which is the last thing you want after carefully curating your outfit. To avoid last-minute stress, visit the event’s official website and familiarize yourself with the guidelines. Some enclosures require dresses to be a certain length, some ban jumpsuits, and others insist on specific hat styles. Knowing the rules ahead of time will save you from outfit mishaps and ensure you look effortlessly appropriate for the occasion. 2. Dress for the Season The season plays a huge role in determining what […]

Linen Pants Style Ideas to Keep You Cool Yet Classy

Linen pants can go from stylish to sloppy real quick. You know that wrinkled, shapeless look? Yeah, not cute. And don’t even get me started on wearing the wrong shoes. If you want to wear linen pants and actually look put-together, there are a few key styling rules you need to follow. Skip them, and you might end up looking like you just rolled out of bed (and not in a cool, effortless way). So before you slip into your breezy linen trousers, read this first. Your linen game is about to get a serious upgrade. What Tops Actually Work With Linen Pants? Balance is everything! Linen pants have that flowy, relaxed feel, so the key is pairing them with tops that complement their shape. Fitted tops, tailored blouses, and cropped styles work wonders. They define your waist and keep the outfit from looking shapeless. A structured blazer over a fitted tank? Instant elegance. A classic white button-down tucked into high-waisted linen pants? Perfection. Just avoid anything overly loose—too much volume can make your outfit look sloppy instead of effortlessly chic. For a fresh summer look, try a linen tank or a lightweight knit tucked in. If you’re going for a more professional setting, a silk blouse or a fitted knit top elevates the look instantly. Layering a tailored vest over a fitted tee can also add structure while keeping things breathable. Can Linen Pants Be Dressed Up? YES. Linen is naturally casual, but it can absolutely be elevated! The trick? Structured elements. A crisp blazer, a sleek belt, or sophisticated accessories can instantly refine your look. Shoes make a difference, too. Swap flip-flops for strappy heels or sleek loafers, and suddenly, you’ve taken your linen pants from beachside to boardroom. Even a simple change—like tucking in your top and […]

The #1 Thing You Should Never Wear in Italy During the Summer

Planning a trip to Italy this summer? Then listen up—because there’s one fashion mistake that will instantly mark you as a tourist. And no, it’s not a fanny pack or clunky sneakers. It’s sweatpants. Yes, those comfy, lounge-around-the-house staples may be your go-to for long flights or lazy weekends, but in Italy? They’re a hard no. Italians have mastered the art of looking effortlessly chic—even in casual wear. A pair of well-tailored linen trousers or a breezy midi dress? Perfect. Slouchy sweats that scream “just rolled out of bed”? Not so much. Want to blend in with the stylish locals and avoid side-eyes from impeccably dressed Italians? Keep reading—because I’m breaking down what to wear instead. Light and Breezy Fabrics Are Your Go-To When it comes to summer in Italy, lightweight fabrics are the name of the game. Think linen, cotton, and other natural materials. These fabrics are breathable, soft, and perfect for keeping you cool under the Mediterranean sun. Linen, in particular, is practically the unofficial fabric of Italian summers. It’s breathable, it’s chic, and it’s oh-so-comfortable. You’ll see locals rocking linen shirts, trousers, and dresses, and for good reason—it’s the ultimate combination of style and practicality. Cotton t-shirts are another great option—they help regulate your body temperature and keep you feeling fresh, even under the blazing sun. Look for high-quality cotton that feels soft against your skin and doesn’t cling when the humidity rises. A linen-cotton mix can give you the best of both worlds: the crispness of linen with the softness of cotton. Pack a few lightweight pieces that you can mix and match. A linen shirt can double as a cover-up at the beach or be paired with trousers for a casual dinner. Versatility is key when packing for Italy! Colors That Scream Italian Elegance Italian […]

If you’re ready to master the art of effortless Parisian style, keep reading. I’ll show you exactly how to do it—without overthinking a thing. Let’s break it down, step by step. The Secret? Looking Like You Woke Up This Way Parisians don’t do heavy makeup. They don’t sculpt, bake, or contour their faces into something unrecognizable. Instead, they invest in great skincare and let their natural beauty shine. A dab of concealer, a touch of mascara, and maybe a swipe of red lipstick if they’re feeling bold… That’s it! Hair? Effortless. Always. Think soft waves, air-dried locks, or a slightly messy low bun. Perfection isn’t the goal—it’s that natural, slightly undone feel that makes it all work. Some French women even embrace their grey hair, because confidence is their best beauty trick. Casual Meets Chic—The “Chic Décontracté” Magic Ever noticed how a Parisian woman can throw on the simplest outfit and look like she just stepped out of a fashion editorial? That’s chic décontracté—the art of blending classic staples with relaxed pieces in a way that feels intentional yet laid-back. A trench coat over relaxed jeans? Absolutely. A perfectly tailored blazer with wide-leg trousers? Always a YES. Oversized pieces are key here. Nothing too tight or restricting. The goal is to look polished without looking like you tried too hard. The Masculin-Féminin Balance That Just Works Parisians love a contrast. Masculine and feminine elements are constantly at play in their outfits. A structured blazer over a delicate silk blouse. A leather jacket toughening up a flowy dress. Tailored pants with a hint of lace peeking through. It’s all about […]

9 Style Rules For A Romantic Look (Plus Dreamy Outfit Ideas)

Dressing in a romantic and feminine way isn’t just about looking pretty—it’s about embracing elegance, softness, and a touch of whimsy. It’s for the woman who loves dreamy fabrics, delicate details, and that effortless grace that turns heads without even trying. If you’ve ever admired the ethereal beauty of lace, the charm of a floral dress, or the quiet sophistication of pearl jewelry, then you’re already drawn to this style. So let’s get into how you can bring more romantic and feminine magic into your wardrobe… 1. Start With Soft, Flowing Fabrics Nothing says romantic quite like fabrics that float as you walk. Chiffon, silk, tulle, and lace create that effortlessly graceful look, making even the simplest outfits feel elegant. Imagine a lace-trimmed blouse that catches the light or a silk dress that skims your figure just right… dreamy, right? These fabrics add movement and a touch of luxury to your everyday style. In colder months, you don’t have to say goodbye to romance! Swap out breezy chiffon for soft knits, delicate cashmere, or a tailored wool coat in a pastel shade. A lace-trimmed sweater paired with an skirt? Perfection. 2. Colors That Evoke Romance Soft pastels and muted tones create that feminine aesthetic with ease. Think blush pink, lavender, baby blue, cream, and warm neutrals. These shades are universally flattering and bring a sense of warmth to your look. If pastels aren’t your thing, you can still embrace the romantic style with dusty rose, deep burgundy, or soft sage green—colors that feel sophisticated yet romantic. Pairing these colors together? That’s where the magic happens. A cream blouse with a dusty pink skirt… a lavender dress with delicate pearl earrings… even a soft blue cardigan over a floral dress. The combinations are endless, and they ALL work. 3. Everyday Looks […]

What To Wear For Easter? 15 Outfit Ideas For Any Occasion

I’ll admit it, figuring out what to wear for Easter can be a bit tricky. Do you go pastel or bold? Dressy or casual? And what about those family photos? (You KNOW they’re going to happen.) But don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. Whether you’re a fan of flowy dresses, chic pants, or even jeans (yes, JEANS!), here’s my top tips and fave Easter outfit ideas for looking both stylish and comfortable for any event you’ve got planned in your diary. Pastels? Always a Good Idea! Easter and pastels go together like chocolate eggs and Easter baskets. Think delicate pinks, airy blues, soft greens, butter yellows, and dreamy lavenders. These colors not only complement the season but also give off a fresh and elegant vibe. Pastels have a way of making any outfit look instantly softer and more sophisticated, which is why they are such a go-to for Easter. If pastels feel too muted for your taste, try something with a little more punch—coral, fuchsia, or even turquoise can bring the same festive energy while making a bolder statement! The great thing about pastels and bright hues is that they are versatile. You can go full monochrome for a sleek, put-together look or mix and match complementary colors for a more playful effect. Accessories are another great way to incorporate pastels without going all-in—think pastel handbags, shoes, or even a light scarf to add a hint of seasonal charm. Can You Wear Black? Let’s Talk About It… Black is chic. Black is timeless. But for Easter? Maybe not the first choice. Easter is all about renewal and light, so traditionally, softer colors win. That being said, if you’re someone who can’t live without your black wardrobe staples, there’s a way to make it work! Pair a flowy black dress or […]
