Why the 'turn-up' tip works

The easiest way to revive your favourite old pair of jeans is just to turn them up at the bottom! 👖✨

By just turning up your jeans, you'll create that lived in, casual look that says 'stylish…but without trying'.

Plus, it shows off your footwear – and a flash of the ankle, which always looks feminine and sexy 😘

Do the tuck!

Why the 'tuck' tip works

Who knew the way you tuck your shirt in can change your entire outfit….?

For creating an effortlessly chic look, my favourite is the front tuck! 💖

The ‘front tuck’ is the perfect choice to define your waist in a casual, lived in, yet stylish way.

So, there's nothing else to do than to start tucking away! 👏

Why the 'rouche' tip works

This tip is one of my favourite style tips; I do this with all of my tops 👚✨

If you want that casual and effortless look, then you'll love this simple trick.

All you've got to do is just 'rouche' up your sleeves.… and Voila – you're outfit just got a whole lot cooler! 😎

By folding or 'rouching' up your sleeves, you can transform a formal outfit into something much more casual, but that still looks chic.

Swap heels for flats!

Why sneakers and flats look cool

I'll be the first to admit it; I love the thought of wearing heels, but in reality they hurt my feet! 🙅‍♀️👠

Luckily, flats and sneakers have been having a fashion 'moment' for a while now.

When it comes to sneakers, wear them with outfits that are more elevated (as opposed to a traditional jeans-and-a-tee look). The addition of a cool sneaker adds the ultimate effortless vibe.

As for flats, try the 'pointy flat'. They will enhance the shape of your legs and streamline your feet...

...without a heel in sight! 🥰
