Style shouldn’t be hard, it should be all you and although it may be a struggle to get variety from your wardrobe, all you need is a little guidance. Don’t underestimate the versatility of the items you already own. All the looks below could probably come out of your wardrobe right this minute! If you don’t have all the exact items, you can easily substitute them and use these 8 looks as inspiration to create your own.
A good place to start is a black dress!The simpler the dress, the more versatile. In my experience my sleeveless black dress, that’s just over the knee, has given me lots of different looks. All I do is change up an item or two. You could totally do the same!
The little black dress
8 easy looks with one black dress for Autumn
You’ll notice that all the looks have a similar colour scheme. Buying clothing that have similar colours make your pieces more versatile. All 8 looks use 1 black dress of course and:
- 3 pairs of shoes: Black and white sneakers, black flat long boots and zebra and black loafers.
- 3 handbags: 1 tote bag and 2 sling bags all in neutral colours. The style of bag will depend on your personal style.
- 3 scarves: All three are colourful and are used to add a pop of colour to neutral items. You can also change your looks by wearing your scarves in a different way.
- 4 tops: 2 black tops, 1 to wear over the black dress (woven splice top) and 1 that can be worn under the black dress (fitted black top). The third top is also a splice top but it’s black and white. The fourth top is a simple olive v-neck tee.
- 5 cover-ups: Black leather jacket, chunky nude jersey, casual trench coat, waterfall cardigan and an olive casual waistcoat.
