For all you Leopard print lovers

Every year, without fail, I write a blog post about Leopard print, whether it be coats, dresses, accessories, or just the print in general, it is timeless, stylish and always in fashion. It’s something that you can rely on to lift your style and your mood and it’s an investment in whatever you buy it in. This blog is about finding the perfect Leopard print dress. Throughout lockdown I seem to of collected 3 different styles of Leopard print dresses that I have worn & worn, love everytime I wear them and often get loads of comments about them too. My colouring doesn’t suit browns and warm tones so I have to be careful about the Leopard print colourway that I choose, the stone colourway has to be cool, or I just go with another colour like my Hush pink one.

All dresses I have brought I have worn throughout the Summer in Lockdown with sandals but now the weather has changed I am moving into trainers and boots. I could also style them with my leather jacket over the top, my denim Shacket, coats or a big cosy jumper thrown over the top too. I would also pop a black polo neck underneath the dress to wear with tights and boots when it gets really cold.

There are loads of dresses out there to pick from, it’s great to have a search around and see if you can grab one in the sale like the Whistles one I have featured below, or the brand Ganni often have their previous seasons leopard print dresses in the sale for a cool brand bargain. Once you get the perfect leopard print dress you will get excited to wear it, you will wear it often and it will never date.

Box fresh sneakers wish list

VEJA.JPG

It is impossible to escape the style value of the humble trainer or sneaker. It has blossomed from being the preserve of the hardcore ‘sneaker freaks’ to a full blown style phenomenon. With new brands arising every season with fresh ideas and established brands bringing out new takes on their classics, reinventing the trainer has never been so colourful. Sneakers have moved out from the sports arena and exploded into popular culture as a fashion staple which can define which style tribe you belong.

Here are my top tips when choosing your new trainers -

  • By simply adding some colour with your trainers, this can give your darker outfits more style with a pop of brighter colours.

  • Trainers don’t just work with jeans, they can look great with tailored trousers, dresses and skirts so have become more versatile.

  • If your trainers are patterned or coloured then go easy on other accessories as it will create too much busyness to your outfit.

  • Retro inspired and heritage sports brands will last longer and will prove timeless pieces in your wardrobe.

  • Trainers are not just reserved for daytime, don’t be scared to wear them with jazzier outfits such as sequins in the evening to pair down your look.

On my wish list this Spring is to buy a new pair of trainers, my Adidas Stan Smiths have got scuffs and marks all over them and my Converse high tops have seen better days even after a wash in the machine. I have been debating for a while now as to what to get, what serves me best, goes with my wardrobe, enhances my style and what I am willing to spend my money on. There is so much choice out there at the moment that it is hard to choose, so to help me out I have put them in categories to try to narrow it down to one pair.

There's nothing quite like a new jumper to make you feel autumn-ready. Cosy, stylish and practical, jumpers tick so many boxes when it comes to versatility, and now is the perfect time to invest in some updated pieces.

After all, what else can instantly transform floaty midi dresses and printed skirts into seasonally appropriate attire? Or can instantly update your jeans and trainers combination? Knitwear has sartorial superpowers that shouldn't be overlooked, which is why now the weather is getting colder it’s time to start thinking about what knitwear will see you through this Autumn Winter.

buy a skirt to update your style

We are currently mid way through the Autumn season, I have shopped the best pieces on the high street for clients and now the run up to Christmas parties starts to get going. But what if there was one thing you could buy to update your wardrobe rather than a whole outfit? The skirt trend has been getting stronger for a few seasons now and it is still the most wanted item out there. For me there are 3 skirts on the high street right now that are putting their best foot forward and it’s time to make your choice; are you a sequins kind of girl, a leather kind of girl or do you prefer a roaring leopard print skirt? The choice is yours…

Sequin skirt

You are probably thinking this is the most un-versatile skirt to buy right now, but you would be wrong! Gone are the days of only wearing your sequin skirt to formal events. Sequin skirts (maxi, midi or mini) can be dressed up or down.  The sequin skirt is an effortlessly chic statement piece that easily transitions from day to night. Wear to brunch with friends, an art gallery afterward and to dance the night away. I love my sequin skirt, I can make a real statement when wearing it in the evening but also cleverly pair it down with my sweatshirts and trainers in the day. Who doesn’t love a bit of glitz and glamour in their wardrobe, see my picks below and update your wardrobe with a bit of sparkle.

Where to buy your sequin skirt this season -

  1. Topshop, sequin stripe midi skirt, £65.00

Leather skirt

The leather skirt has been given a reboot for AW18, it’s midi and comes in lovely dark shades so it is still practical to wear with black tights and boots if you wish to. A leather midi is your ideal choice for Autumn; leather is warm, it works well with a heel, a boot or a pair of trainers, and can be versatile to wear day-to-night. They have become a wardrobe staple, something that is an investment piece that can be brought out year after year and will always look stylish. Simply add a roll neck, a sweater, a shirt, a t-shirt and then some boots. It’s the perfect chic to street update for your wardrobe.

Leopard print skirt

As you well know Leopard print has been a winning print this Autumn, but it never goes out of style and will never date. Knowing how to wear leopard print comes down to this one simple, unwritten rule: Treat it like any black item in your wardrobe. Yes, this might seem counter-intuitive, but adding a little leopard to any outfit upgrades and harmonises a look. True, leopard print has often walked the line between flashy and luxurious, but it's been proven season after season that fashion can't get enough of it. After a summer of a leopard print skirt being the most popular skirt on instagram by the Australian brand Réalisation Par, don’t bother with dresses, tops or coats this season to update your style - the leopard print skirt is the long term investment piece for Autumn.

  1. Never Fully Dressed, leopard print wrap skirt, £59.00
