They say that no good deed goes unpunished. But what about if you are doing yourself a solid? In that case, rest assured that you will be able to fully appreciate the benefit of some quick wardrobe karma, instantly- that is, if you are willing to foot the bill.
So here are some Dos and Don’ts to live by this fall that will leave you and your closet feeling refreshed.
Do: Bell Sleeves
Donโt: Off-the-shoulder Ruffles
A modernized nod to the 70โs will peak out ever so slightly from beneath your sweat, much unlike those bulky ruffle shirts that are best to keep for sunnier days to come.
Do: Grey Plaid
Donโt: Chunky Houndstooth
While grey has long been regarded as the most mundane colour, new life has been infused into Glen Check of the oversize variant. Stay warm in a giant blazer and practice your androgyny.
Do: Baker Boy Hats
Donโt: Fedoras
Supermodels from Kaia Gerber to Bella Hadid are spearheading the efforts to bring back the baker boy hat. So, forget Britney, and take your queues from the influencers of Gen Z.
Do: Namesakes
Donโt: Chokers
Yes, the Carrie Bradshaw necklace is back and bigger than ever! So set aside your Cinderella velvet choker and indulge in a more quirky customized necklace you can wear every day.
Do: Scarlet Reds
Donโt: Pastels
This is not the season to shy away from the power colour. Use it for outerwear, footwear or even a complete ensemble for the daring among you.
Do: Leopard
Donโt: Shearling
Channel your inner feline with some wildcat print to add a little statement to your staples. You get extra bonus points for rocking an edgy kitten heel or biker with your leopard print.
Do: Florals
Donโt: Paisley
The quintessential bohemian update that can be paired with boots for a more contemporary look instead of looking like the outdated cast member from Little House on the Prairie.
Do: Polished Purse
Donโt: Overly Embellished
It is time to snatch up your grannyโs vintage purse. Glossy leather, sleek metal clasps and a ladylike handle are exactly what you need to steal the show, not your handbag.
