Do you ever look at an item in your wardrobe and wish you could wear it but feel that it is just too much for your everyday activities?
Let us introduce you to dressing down with denim…
Denim is one of the easiest ways to make an outfit look more relaxed, casual and “day appropriate”.
Take Sam’s lace dress for example, this dress worn with a neutral slip dress underneath and a pair of boots is more than appropriate to go and do the groceries or meet a friend for coffee. Remember : “you can never be over dressed, only inappropriately dressed” – Sam Woods
We understand that many clients would still feel that a lace dress and boots is too “over the top” for such outings especially when their friends and peers may not want to “dress up” as much. However despite many people not dressing up clients often say to us “I really want to dress up, I just feel like people look at me and then they ask ‘where are you going’, as if I need to be going somewhere fancy to dress up”.
In recent years since the stay at home era of Covid, as a society it seems to be also more accepted to “dress down” or venture out in outfits that would normally be only worn at home or for exercise. This is perfectly fine if you enjoy that style of attire however, if you do feel good when you “dress up” or be creative with an outfit, then you should stay true to yourself and do so with confidence.
If you want to dress up and make the most of a beautiful wardrobe and items you love to wear, then do it… but do it with denim thrown in!
Layering with a denim piece is a super easy way to make an outfit feel less over the top and it also gives off an air of “relaxed casual” making it easier to step out in style without feeling too over dressed.
A few ways you can work with denim;
- Denim jeans paired with a silk blazer and graphic tee for a coffee date.
- Metallic knit jumper teamed with a denim midi skirt and ankle boot to do the groceries.
- Silk or lace dress under a denim jacket for dinner at the pub mid–week.
- Sequin tee, with a pair of denim jeans layered under a denim trench coat to run errands.
- Denim chambray shirt with a tulle skirt and loafer for medical appointments or movie with a friend.
Our challenge for you; pick one of the items in your wardrobe that you want to wear but feel is too much for everyday activities and layer it with denim using our style tips.
Don’t forget, people may look at you, but chances are it’s because they are admiring you and wishing that they had the confidence to dress up a little more and make the most of their beautiful wardrobe. Who knows, you may even inspire someone to dress up too!
Vibrantly yours,
