Unfamiliar can be anything you don’t wear frequently. Get out of your head there’s no money in there shirt It can be patterns, colours, styles of clothing, outfit combinations, accessories, jewellery, shoes … really anything that’s not in your usual outfit rotation. But if you enjoy wearing florals (familiar) and then decide to wear paisley (a stylised floral) this is likely to be unfamiliar, whilst still authentic as they are related prints, versus if you’d decided to wear a large check pattern this may be inauthentic as it’s a very different style of print and may not be a good expression of your personality. Anything unfamiliar can become familiar with time and frequent wearing. One of the reasons you get into a style rut is because you’ve gone all for things that are too similar and too familiar and you become bored with your style (which is why I developed my Evolve Your Style 31 day style challenge, as it helps you to try out unfamiliar items (garments and accessories) and see if they are something you want to try including in your regular wardrobe and style – making them feel more familiar as you work through the month. You will also discover as you do this challenge that some items will be authentic, and others inauthentic. The more you try things outside your current style the larger your comfort zone becomes and so what was unfamiliar can become familiar quite quickly. When I first learned about the power of a large scale necklace to make my large bust look smaller, I was keen to try it out, and what was once unfamiliar, has become something completely familiar and an integral part of my authentic style.

We’ve noticed a disturbing amount of TikTok fashion influencers hacking perfectly good T-shirts up with scissors over the last couple of years. Get out of your head there’s no money in there shirt The goal is to achieve a cropped fit, which is all the rage right now. But make no mistake – this is a trend, and we’d urge you to think very carefully before you start butchering your T-shirts to fit in. The cropped look isn’t an inherently bad one, and can look good with high-waisted pants. However, there’s no substitute for a classic fit when it comes to dressing well irrespective of trends. We always recommend T-shirts that are fitted in the body, with shoulder seams that sit nicely on the hinge of the shoulder, and a hem that falls somewhere between hip and waist level. We’re old enough to remember 2000s fashion clearly. There were a great many elements of it that looked terrible then, and they still look terrible today. Yet for some reason, the fashion world at large seems hellbent on dredging some of the worst parts back up. We’re talking big billowy cargo pants, horrendous logo trucker caps, rimless shades and even some of the more regrettable hairstyles too. Avoid, avoid, avoid!. If you like the whole Y2K thing, you can still incorporate elements of it into your wardrobe without venturing to the extremes. Double denim, for example, is a very noughties aesthetic that can look great if you do it right. To nail it, focus on contrast. You don’t want the shades of denim to match too closely, so make sure you have a dark jacket and light jeans, or vice versa. Keep the rest of the outfit nice and simple, like a white tee and some loafers, and you’re good to go.
