Self-confidence can be difficult to ‘fake’ though. If we don’t feel it, it can be hard to pretend, and this can lead us to make ‘safe’ choices with our clothes and style.
We reach for the same colours as we’re unsure whether other shades may suit us, we..

DEEP – you look great in dark, rich colours so you can wear dark denim on it’s own or in contrast with another colour.
WARM – medium-depth colours work best on you so pop something one or..

Blazer v Bomber

Navigating Spring weather can sometimes be tricky here in the UK as it changes so often (sometimes within the course of a single day!)

Since then it has evolved and developed as times and fashions have changed and it is still a mainstay of many a wardrobe across the world. But do you have one on your coat rail?
