Your style questions answered

Tops

Styling tops is all about balance and vibe. A basic tee works tucked into jeans with sneakers or dressed up under a blazer. Button-ups can go classic with trousers or edgy, worn open over a crop. Crop tops pair well with wide-leg pants or mini skirts, while tanks are versatile with denim or linen. Off-the-shoulder styles add a flirty touch, and oversized hoodies bring cozy, streetwear energy. Corsets dress things up with leather pants or contrast nicely with baggy jeans. Knit tops are great for layering or pairing with skirts. Finish any look with bold accessories to make it your own.

Bottoms

Styling bottoms comes down to shape, texture, and how they complement your top. Mini skirts bring a fun, flirty vibe—pair with oversized tees or fitted tops and boots or sneakers. Maxi skirts can be dressed up with a blouse or made casual with a tank and sandals. Denim shorts are perfect with crop tops or loose button-ups, while tailored shorts look polished with blazers or structured tanks. Wide-leg and straight-leg pants balance fitted tops, while flares give a vintage feel with crops or tucked knits. Cargos add edge with graphic tees or corsets, and linen pants are perfect with relaxed tanks or bandeaus. Mixing textures and layering with belts or statement shoes can pull the look together effortlessly.

Accessories

Accessories are the finishing touch that pulls a look together and shows off your personality. Belts can define the waist, perfect over dresses, blazers, or to elevate denim. Scarves add colour and texture—wear them in your hair, around your neck, or tied to a bag for flair. Bags make a statement too: mini shoulder bags add a Y2K vibe, totes keep things casual, and structured handbags bring polish. Jewelry sets the tone—layered gold for a chic feel, chunky pieces for boldness, or pearls for something soft and vintage. Hats like baseball caps, berets, or bucket hats can shift an outfit’s whole vibe, adding edge, elegance, or streetwear cool. Just a few key accessories can transform even the simplest outfit into a statement.

Shoes

Shoes can completely change the mood of an outfit, adding structure, edge, or softness depending on the style. Heels—whether strappy, block, or pointed—instantly elevate a look and pair well with dresses, wide-leg trousers, or skirts for a more polished vibe. Chunky boots or combat boots add grit and balance out feminine outfits like flowy skirts or mini dresses, while knee-high boots bring drama and pair beautifully with oversized sweaters or tailored coats. Sneakers keep things casual and versatile, perfect with jeans, cargos, or dresses for a street-style edge. Ballet flats and Mary Janes offer a soft, vintage touch, while mules and loafers bring a modern, clean aesthetic. Playing with colour—like red heels, pastel sneakers, or metallic boots—can make your shoes the standout feature of the outfit, while neutral tones help ground and tie the whole look together.
