Scale Your Statement
We have all heard of having a statement piece but this needs to be scaled over time. Your statement piece is supposed to be the piece that draws your outfit in and catches the everyday eye. Some examples of statement pieces are:
- Bags
- Jewellery
- Hats
- Hair
- Shoes
How do we scale these statement pieces
Scale is a business term but in fashion, it means- grow and improve. To scale your statement pieces you can find a similar item that matches better but sits at a higher price point (for example: your statement bag you could exchange for one with real leather or more detail/functionality). But without throwing away your iconic statement piece, you could accessorise this piece by adding a bag charm, fun pin, hair clips, extra charms etc)
If it’s Trending it’s a NO
Fitting in with the current trends is not the way you wanna go if you’re trying to improve your style. You’re never going to stand out if you are constantly chasing the next trending item. If you’re a lover of trends I encourage you to be a late-bloomer. It’s better to be giving throwback than copycat.
You can always spice up a trend if you’re not loving what you’re hearing (that’s ok). Some ways you can spice up a trend are by; finding a unique colour, adding a pop of colour (read more about a pop of red), adding unique glasses, having a throwback hairstyle (e.g. 90s spiky bun) and even more.
Layers
Before you lose interest in this generic advice I want to preface by saying layers are NOT just for winter. In 2024 we’ve seen countless sheer and lace items trending. I’m not gonna go out and say I LOVE the lace and sheer trend because it’s hard to pull off but my favourite way to see lace is in layers. Some examples of layers you can add to an everyday outfit (on a warmer day)
- Lace maxi over a mini skirt
- Sheer Cardigan
- Sheer scarf that matches your featured colour
- Lace/Sheer shrug/bolero over anything
- Lace ribbon features
This can be tied into the previous tip in adding lace features to any statement piece. If you are good with a needle and thread, adding lace trims to just about anything can add such a unique edge and especially with basic overused things like; mini skirts, socks and tank tops.
Mix High-End With Low End
Splurging on items is worthwhile but we have to make up for it somewhere. What’s the point of wearing an outfit worth $2000 one day and $20 the next? In order to get lifetime wear on our high-end items we need to stretch them out and truly enjoy them on our day-to-day.
Fashion icon Carrie Bradshaw said it best:
“The next day, I was looking for a $7 dress to go with my $300 shoes”

How does this work?
The reason why matching a high-end piece with a low-end piece works so well, is people are only looking at one piece and that’s gonna be the high-end one. Whether this is a bag, shoes, pants or a top it doesn’t matter. When I think of this, my lookbook #9, if you were to have that outfit (clothes alone) with only the top or only the shoes as the statement people will be focusing on that. This is one of my favourite fashion tips to improve your style
Loose Fit but NOT Oversized
Oversized was a huge thing in 2021, but oversized has slowly died down. We had the vision during this era but we slightly missed it. The trick is loose but not oversized, we saw this rise in the 90s with the low-rise skirts, they sat loosely on the body but didn’t look “too big” for you.
Some examples of some clothing fashion tips you can apply this to:
- Skirts
- Dresses
- Slip Dress
- Mini Dress
- Tank Tops
- Shawl/Bolero
