Five things NOT to wear when you return to the office!
Oh, the goalposts have moved again! I’m not referring to the Euros as I’m no football expert (unless I’ve had a glass of wine then I know everything!) No, I’m referring to the office dress code. A common theme is cropping up among the women I have been styling over the past few weeks. With […]
Three shoes styles I would never take on holiday – and three I would
Do you take 10 pairs of shoes for a two week holiday?When suitcase space is at a premium the last thing you want to do is carry unnecessary luggage. Shoes, in particular, can be heavy and awkward so you need to choose the ones you pack with care. You need the right styles to nail […]

What to wear for an event
You open the invitation. “Black tie optional.” Your closet suddenly looks like a costume shop for the wrong play. You’ve got 48 hours, no clear plan, and the last time you bought something formal was 2019. This is the exact problem. Not “finding your style” or “building a capsule wardrobe.” It’s the specific, time-pressured need […]
Five summer essentials you can wear – rain or shine!
The average American city gets rain on 10 to 14 days every month from June through August. That is roughly one rainy day in every three. And yet most people build their entire summer wardrobe around cotton, canvas, and suede — materials that are essentially useless the moment a cloud opens up. This breakdown covers […]
How to dress for work in hot weather.
Most advice about dressing for work in hot weather is useless. “Wear lighter colors” and “choose breathable fabrics” — technically correct, but it doesn’t tell you which specific shirt won’t show sweat stains by 10 AM or which pants won’t stick to your legs during a commute. I tested 12 different combinations through a 95-degree […]
What’s the best item to buy in the summer sales?
You’re scrolling through 60% off banners and thinking: what do I actually grab? I’ve been through maybe fifteen summer sales as a buyer and a shopper. I’ve made the mistakes — overpriced sandals that fell apart by August, linen shirts that looked like rags after two washes. So here’s what I’ve learned. The best item […]
How to look ‘polished and professional’ and what that actually means.
I spent my first two years out of college dressing like I was about to be audited. Navy blazer, pleated khakis, a tie that my dad gave me. I thought “polished” meant looking stiff, uncomfortable, and a little bit sad. Then I sat next to a partner at my firm who wore a merino sweater, […]
The Summer skirt style making a comeback
Google searches for “A-line midi skirt” jumped 140% between March and May 2026. That’s not a blip. That’s a wardrobe shift. After years of bodycon minis and slip skirts that stick to everything, women are buying skirts with actual shape again. The A-line midi is back, and it’s not the frumpy version your aunt wore […]
Really good basic white t-shirts
Most white t-shirts are junk. You know it. You’ve bought a three-pack from a big-box store, worn them twice, and watched the collar warp into a potato chip shape. Or the fabric went gray after three washes. Or the sleeves suddenly look like they belong on a different shirt. Here’s the thing: a truly good […]
