Style Tips

Pockets in dresses and skirts provide a safe haven for uncomfortable hands, as we navigate our way through unfamiliar restaurants and bars.

We often hear about body shape and scale but do you consider your proportions (that is the length of your upper body compared to your lower body, and your waist placement).

We live in a very different world than we did even five years ago. People are becoming far more environmentally conscious, and seasonal clothing hauls are very much out of fashion.

Have you lost your style mojo over the last year. Have slippers and tracksuit bottoms become the norm? You’re not alone. Enforced lockdown has had a dramatic effect on the way that we dress.

Well we’re certainly into scarf season aren’t we? It’s always a shock when temperatures drop in November and the humble scarf becomes our best friend again.

Print is everywhere this season. Big and bold, bright and cheerful, ditsy and muted, there’s something for everyone. But where to start? Let us guide you through the pattern minefield with our handy tips.
