Are you finding it hard to know what to wear on these freezing mornings – especially with an early start?
Fashion Tips by Moana Robinson
You may be in and out of the car, offices or shops. Drop off time to school and pick up time can be cool and then your day is starting to warm up so you start to strip off! Before you know it late afternoon is here and it is cooling off again! If you live in an area where the temperature vary by quite a few degrees it is important to
learn how to layer. This will make life so much easier. If you are a casual/sporty clothes person lighter casual tops and jackets are great to throw on in the morning and as the day heats up are flexible enough to carry over your shoulders or through your bag. Even workwear can be successfully layered whether you wear smart casual to work or more formal corporate wear. Most offices will have even temperatures throughout the day but sometimes air-conditioning can be cause workplaces to be too warm in the winter or too chilly in the summer. It is important to still find ways to layer your office and outer wear to remain comfortable during your work day.
My advice is to
start with a neutral base – possibly black if your colouring suits black – otherwise grey, beige, white, cream or navy. This way you can go with a monochrome look with a jacket also in a neutral and perhaps some accessories to brighten and enhance the whole outfit. Alternatively, you can wear a lovely bright jacket with complementary accessories over your neutral base garments. It is important to wear the right accessories so that when you remove your jacket during the day the outfit remains interesting and not too bland if you have started with neutrals. If you love colour you could start with colour as a base, add neutral outerwear and neutral or complementary accessories. Splashes of colour really brighten an outfit during winter and scarves are an excellent way to add interest. A black top or any neutral colour can be completely transformed with a scarf or brightly coloured beads. Winter is a great time to
contact Beauty Glow, your personal stylist to find out your true colours, and best neutrals. During the chilly weather we wear more clothes and with larger part of our bodies being covered up the hue of your garments can either drain your complexion or make you look alive, vibrant and show that sparkle in your eyes!
