TOP TIPS FOR SPRING DRESSING
- Invest in a detachable bib collar – it can add a little something to your favourite dress, especially if it is lacking detail.
- When necessary, accessorise your dress with a belt – this will highlight your waist area and distract from any parts you wish to disguise.
- Play around with your accessories and footwear – when wearing dresses and skirts opt for a pair of chunky boots and a bold bag to make your outfit distinctive.
- Be open to layering – if you prefer not to have your arms showing in sleeveless dresses or want an added layer, opt for a simple white tee to add under your dress. This will be convenient, especially when the chilly summer evenings are here.
- Always have a “go to” spring jacket – during this season unpredictable weather is inevitable, so a light, versatile jacket is key. Whether it is a blazer or a fine quilted coat, invest in something that will go with most of your spring/summer wardrobe.
- Rent a dress – perfect for when you have an outfit emergency and don’t want an impulse buy. A sustainable yet fashion forward way to look stylish on a budget. There are various outlets for renting dresses. However, UK based rental company Rotaro allows customers to rent directly from their favourite brands and designers all while encompassing an environmental stance by planting a tree for every order.
- Wear what makes you comfortable – lastly and most importantly, dress in what you love and what makes you feel confident.
