Must haves in the cupboard?
Cindy Arendse, the curator and fashion enthusiast behind the Instagram account @myessentiallist, says that her top wardrobe essentials include a white denim maxi skirt, a classic button-down shirt, and simple tank tops.
These items can be dressed up or down for various events and are a staple in any girl’s capsule wardrobe. A relaxed fit in breathable materials like linen or linen mixes is recommended for a simple style. Classic neutral colours like cream, beige, and brown and fitted pieces like waistcoats and trousers are essential for a stylish and practical seasonal wardrobe.
Chantal Julius, owner of the Instagram fashion blog account @styleinsider.ct, also promotes satin slip skirts and dresses, highlighting their timeless appeal in the fashion world.
How can we experiment with these trends?
One of the challenges many can agree with is finding clothes that compliment your personal style and body type. Dress in a way you are comfortable and confident in while still looking good. But also, continuously staying up with the trends in this economy can be tricky. But you can still stay caught up.
“I love going with the flow and putting together outfits that feel right to me. Sometimes they just happen to be on trend, and sometimes the trend only kicks in after,” says fashion stylist Zeenat Khan.
She encourages us to experiment with new looks by highlighting the importance of taking inspiration from what people are wearing. Khan advises keeping an eye on trendsetter brands to remain on top of recent trends without breaking the bank. Additionally, inspiration can be drawn from Pinterest and TikTok for some fashion and styling ideas. If you are still deciding what wardrobe staple to buy, these platforms will help you see what is currently trending and how you can incorporate these clothing items with what you already have in your wardrobe.
“Sometimes there are seasons with a bigger shift in trends than others. For the past season, it’s been a little more subtle, but I feel like bigger changes are on the horizon,” adds Chantal.
By incorporating these ideas, you can confidently customize the newest trends to fit your style and ensure a stylish and relaxing season. Always keep in mind that fashion should be a celebration of your individuality and sense of style.
In the fashion world, making the trends your own is essential rather than just following them. We have discovered how to effortlessly incorporate must-have pieces into your current wardrobe by using the insightful opinions of stylists and fashion influencers. It’s more about rethinking the possibilities inside your own closet than it is about inventing the wheel. Your ability to experiment and create your style is entirely up to you, whether adding a splash of colour, experimenting with textures, or accepting unexpected combinations. Thus, remember to be authentic as you follow this season’s trends. Allow your wardrobe to express who you are and what’s fashionable. Here’s to an unapologetic, self-expressive summer full of bold fashion choices and looks!
