From day to night: How to style your wardrobe for any occasion

Dressing stylishly yet comfortably has always been a difficult achievement for most women. You may feel like you need to sacrifice one element to achieve the other when that isn’t the case. 

Tailoring your wardrobe to suit any occasion does take some careful planning and consideration. With this guide, you will be able to maximise your wardrobe and transition your look from daytime chic to evening glamour easily. 

Building a strong foundation: The capsule wardrobe 

Whenever you look at women whose style you admire, you may notice that they have classic staples that they mix and match to create timeless looks. This is called having a capsule wardrobe. You can add things that showcase your personality and style, but having a core set of stylish and simple pieces makes getting dressed a lot easier. 

Essential items to create a capsule wardrobe include a well-fitted blazer, a crisp white shirt, versatile trousers, and a little black dress. Rather than heading down the fast fashion route, opt for items that are high-quality and durable. Investing in these means they will last longer and look better. 

Daytime chic: Effortless style for work and leisure 

Popping to the shops or having coffee with your friends doesn’t have to have catwalk-worthy outfits, but it is nice to feel confident and comfortable. 

Jeans shopping is the bane of many women’s wardrobes. Take some time to find a comfortable and flattering pair. Pairing these with a statement blouse or a t-shirt helps you look effortlessly cool. Don’t forget to think about your accessories to add pops of colour. 

Transforming your look: From desk to dinner 

There are sometimes occasions that require you to go from the office to dinner or a gathering. Being able to tweak your daytime outfit is so helpful. 

Add a statement piece to a neutral outfit, like a little black dress or trousers and blouse. This could be a bright pair of heels or a bold necklace. 

You can also utilise the office bathroom to update your makeup to a more suitable style, and changing your hair slightly will make you feel like a new woman. 

Embracing the night: Dressing for special occasions 

Special occasions are the perfect opportunity to get dressed up and feel fabulous. If you are unsure, ask the host for the dress code. This will give you a good idea of what is appropriate for the event. Track down a couple of party pieces that you can wear for different events—a good place to look is in the sales! 

Remember, fashion should make you feel confident, and this applies to private time as well. Invest in some beautiful lingerie like waspies to boost your confidence underneath your outfit too. The better you feel, the better you will look to everyone else.
