The world of fashion is constantly evolving, with trends emerging and fading faster than ever before.  

A true fashion statement goes beyond simply following the latest trends. It’s about using clothing and accessories to express your individuality and create a look that makes you feel confident

Here’s some inspiration on how you can make a statement with your own wardrobe. 

Mix and match textures 

Texture plays a crucial role in creating visually interesting outfits. It adds depth and dimension to your look and opens up endless avenues for experimentation. Try combining a chunky knit sweater with a flowy silk skirt, or a leather jacket with a pair of tailored trousers.  

You can lean into this way of dressing by finding items that share the same colour but have a different texture. From there, you can work out how to become more adventurous with your clothes.  

Incorporate colour 

Colour is a powerful tool in fashion. It can instantly lift your mood and brighten other people’s day. While classic colours like black, grey, and navy will always be wardrobe staples, don’t shy away from incorporating bolder hues or softer pastels.  

Feeling adventurous? Try a cobalt blue coat or emerald-green dress. If you prefer a more subtle approach, have a go at incorporating pastel pinks, lavenders or yellows into your outfits with an accessory or a pair of shoes. Colour can be a fantastic way to express your creativity and stand out from the crowd. 

Embrace a striking watch 

Watches are timeless accessories that add a touch of sophistication to any look. From sleek minimalist designs to bold and colourful options, there’s something out there for everyone.   

They can elevate a casual outfit of jeans and a t-shirt or add a touch of polish to your work clothing. Consider a chunky gold watch for a vintage feel or one made from stainless steel for a modern aesthetic. The good news is you don’t have to spend a fortune to find a statement watch that complements your style.   

Style vintage pieces 

Vintage fashion is having a major moment. It’s not only a more sustainable option, but it also allows you to veer away from tiresome trend cycles.  

Hit your local charity shops or browse online marketplaces to discover hidden treasures. You might come across a silk slip dress or an eye-catching pair of old-school earrings. Alternatively, you could embrace a trench coat from the 1990s or a suede leather jacket from the 1970s.  

Make an impression with your shoes 

The right shoes can instantly transform any look – and so can the wrong shoe. According to the ‘wrong shoe’ trend, you can enhance your style with a shoe that completely contrasts against your outfit. Think of a flowy summer dress coupled with a cool pair of trainers, for example.  

Outside of this trend, stand-out shoes are a great things to have in your wardrobe in general. Consider boots in a bold colour or unique texture to elevate a simple dress. Heels are a classic way to add instant polish but don’t be afraid to experiment with flats like loafers or mules for a comfortable and stylish alternative.
