Extra, extra

We’ll be the first to admit, we’re losing it a little bit over these accessories, aka: the very definition of glamour in shoe and bag form. Obvious Instagram appeal aside, a pair of statement heels or a stand-out bag can uplift just about any outfit, whether it’s a simple daytime look of straight-cut jeans, a white tee and a trench or a sleek little black dress for your more snazzy occasions. One thing’s for sure, you’ll definitely have yourself a conversation starter with any of these show-stoppers.

Dress up

Calling all maximalists and magpies – SS19 has some truly exciting and seriously glamourous updates to offer your eveningwear. This season will see styles that flutter between fantasy and classicism, with OTT proportions and romantic details like shimmer, ruffles and bows turning up the volume on after-hours attire - think Villanelle in Killing Eve. This will definitely hit the sweet spot for those who relish a chance to really dress up when it comes to after-hours style. For a more dialed down day-time look, just slip on a pair of trainers and an oversized coat with a ruffled midi.

Styling suits with trainers

To update your weekday wardrobe this year, try elegant suiting in traditional monochrome styles or pretty pastels (set to be a major trend for spring), and then add trainers. They may not be your go-to work footwear, but they'll provide the casual finish that heels are missing and keep your 9-5 look on the right side of dressed-up. A box-fresh white pair are easy and versatile but a coloured pair or a flash of leopard will freshen up a classic outfit. The best part? You'll be comfortable for a day on-the-go and look effortlessly cool.

Off-duty chic

For whatever’s on your weekend to-do list, trainers are the perfect comfy sidekick for everything from errand running to brunching. A classic trench coat looks effortlessly stylish when paired with something simple like jeans and a cream knit but steps into serious cool-girl territory when worn with fresh, chunky trainers. Alternatively, play up to the athleisure trend by teaming a sporty-chic trouser or a retro puffer jacket with your trainer of choice. Accessories and jewels should be kept to a minimum, as anything too fussy will counteract the cool vibe we're aiming for.
