Get Dressed in 5 Minutes | Styling Tips
2/05/2017"The joy of dressing is an art"
Getting
ready in the mornings can be a total nightmare, especially if you want to look
a bit more stylish; even though most days I'd throw on a jumper, a pair of
jeans and some boots and I'd leave the house like that.
I love fashion
and I have some tips that will help you (and me) achieve an amazing look in
about 5 minutes. Getting dressed quickly and being stylish can be compatible if
you keep a bunch of staple pieces with you. Today I'll be sharing with you my
favourite combinations and tricks to achieve that "perfect" look, as
well as some pictures of amazing street style looks that will give you a bit of
inspiration when you don't know what to wear.
ALL BLACK,
AND A TOUCH OF COLOUR
Wearing an
all black outfit is an easy way of looking stylish without putting to much
effort into getting dresses. This combination, however, can look a bit plain
sometimes. What I love to do to make this look a bit more fun is adding a touch
of colour (it can be a red bag, a pair of leopard print ballet shoes or a
printed jacket); it seems a bit simple, but it will make a huge difference in
your looks.
JEANS +
WHITE (SHIRT)
Is there a
more iconic combination that a pair of jeans and a white top?? I don't think
so. I love wearing jeans, they are comfortable and yet stylish and they go with
many different looks. I also own a bunch of white tops, especially white
shirts. I wear jeans and white shirts almost once a week; it is a really
versatile combo that can be worn in a more sporty way (if you add a pair of
trainers) or in a more formal way if you add a pair of heels or boots and a
blazer.
TOTAL LOOK
Wearing one
single colour from head to toes can be a very risky choice. However, if you
choose the right pieces, accessories and occasion, you can create a winner
look. Suits (or co-ords) are an easy way of achieving this look. You can also
mix different textures and fabrics to give a bit more personality to the look
and make it a bit more fun. If you don't feel comfortable wearing only one
colour, try mixing different shades of grey or blue to achieve a similar
effect.
DRESSES (LESS
IS ALWAYS MORE)
Dresses are
really easy to style. To me dresses are the perfect example of the saying
"less is more". As long as you find a few dresses that fit you nicely
and that can cover different occasions, you'll have many outfits sorted. They
can be worn with many different jackets, shoes and accessories. I did a few
post all about dresses a while back and I'll link it bellow so you can check
them out.
BASIC TOPS +
SKIRTS
With jumpers
in winter or with basic t-shirts in summer, a skirt can save many of your days
if you know how to style them. I love wearing leather skirts with knitwear in
winter as it creates a really chic look; in summer I tend to wear skirts made
of lighter fabrics or denim and I like to pair them with basic t-shirts for a perfect
everyday look. As for accessories, wear whatever goes with your outfit.
STATEMENT
COATS
This will
only work in a colder weather, but a nice statement jacket can make a really
effortless outfit seem really stylish and professional. Choose a jacket that
goes with your style and wardrobe and you'll be able to wear it non-stop. I
like the ones that have a Chanel vibe (they make jeans and a t-shirt look
amazing) but printed coats or blazers also have my heart.
These are
all my go-to outfit combinations that will make you look stylish in just a few
minutes. Accessoring is also really important, as accessories can change your
look completely. Would you like a post on that?? Let me know in the comments...
