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.

Muscle vests are your new hottest tee

You only need one thing to look stylish this Summer and that’s a muscle vest (fyi that’s the term I have coined for them). Essentially it’s a tank top, a tee that has been cut off at the top of the arms, something that my 10 year old son has been wearing since he watched The Rock in the Jumanji movie. But this small item has grown in cult status over the past coming of weeks, originating from a New York store called The Frankie shop everytime they stock it, it immediately sells out.

Copies all over the high street are now online, it’s a relatively cheap purchase that can be worn with everything from jeans, to shorts, to skirts and trousers. Some come with shoulder pads and some without, stripes, different colours and no doubt prints will be continuing the trend through the summer months.

So bag yours now for an instant tee update for 2020.

The only thing you want right now is a great hoodie

Since last weekend when I took a look at my ‘isolation wardrobe’ and reassessed what I had that was comfy and will become my uniform over the coming weeks until the weather warmed up, I became obsessed with finding the perfect hoodie to alleviate my daily looks. Once a wardrobe ‘basic’ the hoodie has been slowly making it’s rise on the style ladder and is currently the UK’s most searched for fashion staple right now. In the current climate of stay-at-home outfits we are all craving the comfort - whether it be emotionally or physically - and your clothes is an obvious place to start.

While hoodies have long been a street-wear staple, for the rest of us it was only something you would wear to the gym or round the house. Pre-corona virus it was having a style resurgence with many luxury brands using the hoodie as symbol of fashion nous and wealth whilst some of the most influential brands became reliant on it’s best selling ability. It is now become a staple of contemporary dress and however you style it gives your look a chic simplicity that appeals to everyone.

But for now, in 2020, the hoodie is not a social signifier, a high priced fashion commodity or wealth status, it is a source of comfort, one that we all need.

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.
