Four staples for summer 2022

Summer 2022 is well and truly in full swing, so there’s no reason for your outfits to be stuck in the cooler seasons. We love having the opportunity to change up what we’re wearing when the season changes, it’s always fun to experiment with your clothes rather than constantly wear the same thing. A new season brings with it a new chance to wear different outfits, whether that be something new or a favourite you’ve brought back from last year. 

We’ve been observing the looks so far this summer and have put together a short list of the top four things we think you need in your wardrobe this summer!

How to get more use from your prom dress

They’re such beautiful gowns but much like a wedding dress are often only worn one time and then tucked away at the back of your wardrobe somewhere. In the interest of reducing waste we’re looking at a few ways a prom dress can be brought out and put to more use! Keep reading for some tips and ideas on what to do with your prom dress.

Four dresses to have in your wardrobe

Spring is finally here, and summer is just around the corner, so it’s time to make sure you have your staple dresses ready to go. Dresses are a really easy way to start an outfit, after all, there’s just the one piece of clothing so you don’t have to think about a top or trousers to match. They can also be dressed up or dressed down depending on what you accessorise them with, so they’re fantastic for versatility.

Four swaps to make for spring and summer

With the warmer weather on its way it’s time to swap out some of your winter clothes for more seasonally appropriate pieces. If you leave everything in your wardrobe it can be overwhelming to choose clothes everyday, so we prefer to pack away clothes that we won’t be wearing and bring to the front appropriate clothes!

Get your wardrobe spring ready

As the days get longer and the sun is shining, it finally feels like the time is coming to put away the big winter jumpers and get your spring clothes out from the back of your wardrobe. 

When the season changes it can be easy to get swept up into the idea that you need to buy a lot of new items to fit the fashion trends, but that’s not always true. Buying more clothes will just be adding to an already stuffed wardrobe, and you’ll find you don’t even end up wearing half of it! So what can we do to get our wardrobe ready for spring without feeling a need to splurge? Instead of buying things on a whim, prune down your current wardrobe and look to strategically fill the gaps.
