January is finally coming to a close and so many of us gaze into our overflowing wardrobes and think “I have NOTHING to wear”. If this sounds familiar, it’s time to take stock of what we already own and work out what might be missing from our style libraries - you know, the versatile pieces that make everything else wearable.
Think high quality knitwear, heirloom accessories and a great pair of jeans.
Forget what you think you know about capsule wardrobes, they don’t have to be dull. It’s 2025, let’s dress for joy!
First, you’re going to need some versatile ingredients to use in your outfit recipes.
Don’t forget, the right accessories can really pack a punch, taking a basic t-shirt and jeans from daytime to party time! Think fun yet practical.
Take the time to shop intentionally, choosing things that speak to you, whether that’s a sparkly bag, animal print clogs or a ruby tiara. Personal style is exactly that, personal! 
Obviously we all have different ideas about how to dress, but a really great pair of jeans is a universal staple. Find a cut and wash that works for you to get the style ball rolling.
Another essential staple is the classic t-shirt, wear it with shorts, under a sweatshirt or with a statement skirt to up the “I just threw this on” cool factor. Endless possibilities and a classic for a reason!
When the mercury drops reach for a quality woollen knit.
It can seem like an investment, but when cared for properly, that jumper of yours could last a lifetime. Seriously!
A crisp cotton shirt, an oldie but a goldie. There’s endless choices when it comes to shirts, fitted and feminine, boxy, cropped, long sleeve, short sleeve, you get it. If your style is more relaxed, go oversized, if you prefer form fitting, go for it!
Last but not least, consider a suit. We’re not thinking office here. Think of it more as separates that just so happen to match. You don’t have to go traditional here, we’re living in the future, you have options.
Here comes the fun part, LETS GET STYLING!
Outfit 1, “Everyday Extra”. We’ve paired this gorgeous sunny yellow suit with a contrasting blue shirt and leopard print clogs for a little extra spice.
Outfit 2, we’re restyling the suit for that special event, wedding guest? Christening? Birthday drinks? Here’s your outfit sorted. Ditch the shirt and swap out the accessories and you’ll be good to go.
Outfit 3, we’ve been seeing the scandi influence popping up on our feeds for a while and this outfit is a nod to that. Playfully mix colour and ‘going out pieces’ with more casual and relaxed denim. It’s cool, it’s easy, it just works.
Outfit 4, and the yellow suit is really paying for itself at this point. We’ve paired the trousers with a British Lambswool cardigan that you’ll reach for season after season.
Outfit 5, cosy and casual, jeans and a chunky knit are always a winner in our eyes.
Outfit 6, easy-breezy. Layers are a great way to add interest and dimension to an otherwise simple look. We’ve paired an oversized shirt, worn open with jeans and a soft t-shirt. Easy!
Outfit 7, party time! Tie a knot in your shirt tails to add shape and throw on your loudest accessories. Teamed with wide leg jeans this ‘fit will take you from the bar to the dance floor.
And don’t forget, getting dressed should be fun, wear what makes you happy, dress for joy!
