Have you ever bought an outfit with all the accessories to go with it because you had a wedding coming up or a work’s night out? News flash- it doesn’t have to be this way! You can have a wardrobe that is ready for anything if you choose your pieces wisely. Here are our top suggestions…

Neutral jewellery: Instead of having a set of colourful jewellery to match every outfit- choose something simple that will go with anything like a set of diamond stud earrings or a ring or necklace with a neutral stone in it. What colours do you wear the most? This will help you determine what colour stones to opt for. A couple of key pieces that can be dressed up or down depending on the event. This means you won’t have an overflowing jewellery box and your partner will breathe a sigh of relief that they don’t have to buy you something new every year.
Versatile clothes: When looking at your collection- think about how it can work in different scenarios. Can your favourite casual dress be teamed with a pair of heels to make it suitable for a night out? Or could a smart tunic be worn with a pair of jeggings for a more relaxed look? The more ways you can wear your clothes- the better as it saves you having to buy something new for every occasion. Think about the things you already own and try them in new ways- you will be surprised at how many different looks you can achieve from your existing favourite pieces.
Multi-way dresses: Multi-way dresses are a great option if you want several different looks from one piece of clothing. Dresses tend to be one of the most expensive things women buy, so having one that can be worn strapless, with sleeves, with a halter neck or even with straps will save you a lot of money in the long run and your wardrobe will thank you for the space too.
Multi-way bras: You don’t need a separate strapless, halter neck and t-shirt bra- buy a few multiway bras and they will sit under any outfit you own saving you the last-minute panic of finding one to suit a specific look. Also, when buying underwear- sticking with the same colours means that you will always have a matching set in your drawer.
Adaptable accessories: If you generally carry around a small bag with you every day- why not remove the strap and use it as a clutch on a night out? You can also buy oversized purses that double up as a clutch too. If you opt for a versatile colour like black- no one will know the difference. Wider scarfs can also be used as shawls, kaftans can be used as cover ups on the beach or for a summery, relaxed look as a top and thick socks could keep your feet warm at night but also be thick enough to serve as boot socks in the winter.
