Are you “stylish” and “modern”?
“I don’t like trends!” one woman said at a recent event I hosted. You can see the relief on her face when I explain that my clients don’t want to be dressed head to toe in the latest trends either, they like clothing that feels modern and on-trend.
What is the difference between “stylish” and “modern”?
The saying “If you’re not moving forward, you’re moving backwards” fits your style perfectly. If you haven’t updated your wardrobe in a while, you and your clothes will look dated.
On the other hand, you don’t have to follow every new trend that comes out. Mesh shoes are a great example of this – or make no sense to me! They’re all over Instagram and the high street, but they never fit my lifestyle – or toes!
The key is to find pieces that suit your personal style, body shape, and lifestyle. They may be popular, but it doesn’t matter as long as they work for you.
To illustrate my point, let’s look at one of this season’s biggest trends – skirts. If you’re still wearing a bohemian maxi dress from the ’90s, you won’t look like you’re on trend. However, if metallic silver maxi dresses aren’t for you, you don’t have to follow the trend (according to Vogue ).
A good way to ensure you don’t buy a trend that’s rarely worn is to ask yourself three questions when you feel the urge to buy:-
- Does it fit my body shape?
- Where will I wear it?
- What do I pair it with?
If you can’t answer these questions head-on, place the garment back on the bar.
My job is to find contemporary pieces that fit my client’s personal style today while also standing the test of time. Metallic maxi skirts aren’t for everyone, but there are some popular styles, like cotton “A” line midi skirts, that are more wearable and timeless.
I love this style because it’s an easy-to-wear, versatile garment that works with most body types. It will keep you cool on hot days and always look smart. Trendy or not, this skirt style will always be a practical and stylish addition to your wardrobe – I’m wearing the skirt in this photo for several years now.
Here are my 3 favorites on the high street right now.
Zara series skirt
H&M pleated A-line skirt
Aligne full-length poplin skirt
