Clever styling is not about having a huge wardrobe, or even shopping all the time. The key to looking great is knowing what suits you and what to wear with what.
My next few updates will focus on one key item and share top tips on how to style it up.
This week I am looking at ultra-pretty pleated skirts which are going to be huge come spring.
This super simple skirt from Hoss Intropia might look a little like a school skirt at first but worn with the right items this can be a rocking spring look which will work for the office, a hot date or a lunch with mates.
Black and easy to wear, this is a staple which I love but the cut could look a little frumpy on all but the most model-like of girls, unless you pair it with some great heels. To keep the look from being too prim and proper I would opt for some killer points to lend a rockier edge to the look. I love these snake skin KG pumps. I am slightly over the nude shoe trend now, so I love that these have the same tones but the snake pattern makes them so much more interesting. The metal spike heels ensure your pleated skirt will look anything but school girl.
Chanel influences are everywhere at the moment and nothing says Coco like a little boxed blazer. For an easier spring look why not try a knitted version. This crochet jacket from Boden is the perfect tailoring to balance the skirt, keeping it pretty but not too girly. This creamy knit will also look fabulous with jeans or tailored shorts come summer.
As your shoes are really the statement for this look you don’t need to worry too much about jewellery, but a fabulous cocktail ring will always add a bit of glam and balance to the outfit. As always, less is more, so opt for a simple elegant style, such as this rose gold oval ring from Selfridges.
The sun is shining ladies, what better time to try something new. Enjoy!
