1. Know Your Colours

Know Your Colours Know which colours will complement you the most to avoid making the wrong purchase. If you have cool undertones, white, black, grey, silver, and shades of blue work best for you. And if you have warm undertones, opt for shades of yellow, gold, brown, green and red.

2. Know Your Neckline

Know Your Neckline The neckline of your clothing is supposed to flatter your face so make sure that it suits you.

3. Don’t over-accessorise

Don’t over-accessorise Who doesn’t love accessories, but be careful not to overdo it. If you’re wearing too many rings people won’t know where to look, same goes with bangles, and if you're wearing statement earrings then don’t also wear a bold necklace, and vice versa.

4. When in Doubt, Overdress

When in Doubt, Overdress Sometimes it’s hard to know what to wear to an event, especially if there isn’t a dress code. There is nothing worse than showing up underdressed, so when if doubt just overdress. Over dressing has never done any harm – if anything you’ll be the best dressed!

Discover the mystique and charm of historical garments with our carefully curated inspiration from the medieval era. If you're seeking authenticity for a theme party or costume event, here are some truly renaissance outfit ideas that will transport you back in time. Evoke the spirit of grand festivities with fashion that celebrates tradition and craftsmanship. Embrace a different period, dress up and have fun!

5. A Wallet is an Investment

A Wallet is an Investment Nothing is more embarrassing than a shabby (but not chic) wallet, especially if you’re sporting a designer handbag. A wallet will last you at least 10 years so invest something of exceptional quality that is a classic style, rather than seasonal.

6. Think Twice with Belts

Think Twice with Belts The purpose of a belt is to hold your pants up, or give you a waist when wearing something loose. Too often I see women wearing tight clothes with belts – which is pointless and doesn’t look flattering, so think twice when you pull a belt on.

7. Don’t Bare All

Don’t Bare All Overexposure is something I see way too often! If you’re showing your cleavage, cover your legs and if it’s your legs that are on show cover up on top. Simple.

8. Stock up on Staples

Stock up on Staples Know your staples and stock up on them; from the classic white shirt, to the little black dress or trench coat. Your staples are classic pieces that are the foundations of all your outfits so invest well.

9. Don’t do White under White

Don’t do White under White A commonly overlooked error women make is wearing white underwear under white clothes. White emphasises white, so opt for nude and no one will see a thing.

10. Make Sure You Can Walk

Make Sure You Can Walk Too many women (myself included) have purchased uncomfortable heels for the love of fashion. Although we put up with the pain, if you knew what you looked like attempting to walk in super high or uncomfortable heels you’d think twice.
