Are you looking for the simplest yet stylish casual outfits that you can wear on an everyday basis? If so, you'll love these outfit ideas I've put together from FemmeLuxe!

Choosing an outfit for any occasion is the last thing you want to spend hours doing and wasting your time worrying about. For me, the best and easiest way to make putting your outfit together is to pick one item and style the entire outfit around that item. Knowing that you have a collection of staple pieces in your wardrobe that you can pair together for any occasion is a must have, and makes putting together outfits that little bit easier. 

I was recently kindly gifted some pieces from FemmeLuxe, and wanted to share some essential wardrobe clothing items that everyone needs to help create some simple casual outfits and how I have styled them with other items I already have in my clothing collection for everyday wear.

womens everyday casual outfit styling maxi cardigan

For my first outfit, I've put together a very simple, effortless look that can be easily taken from day to night. Throughout autumn/winter I've been a huge fan of leather look/faux leather trousers and jeans, and have seen myself reaching for them more over normal black denim jeans. However, the real star of the show for me in this first outfit is the long stone maxi cardigan*. This is something that I've wanted to add into my wardrobe for a while but haven't quite found the perfect one, until now. The nude coloured cardigan fits into my wardrobe pretty well, it's a super versatile colour that will go with many outfit options. Knitted cardigans are the perfect piece to complete a simple outfit, for when you don't want to wear a heavy, thick coat. I know it'll come in handy during the warmer spring and summer days, when you need a light cover up for the cooler evenings.

womens everyday casual outfit styling black tracksuit

If a two piece tracksuit isn't the epitome of casual clothing, then I don't know what is. Especially whilst being on furlough, loungewear has been my absolute go-to daily attire, simply for its comfort, but still looking cute and put together. This black loungewear set*, featuring a simple oversized crew neck sweatshirt and black cuffed joggers, both have a relaxed fit, making it very comfortable to wear all day long. I like the fact this two pieces comes as a set, but obviously you can wear each piece individually with other items in your wardrobe. An all black outfit is a definite winner from me anyway!

Joggers are an essential wardrobe staple for me, especially during the current climate with the coronavirus pandemic. They are an item of that everyone probably has in their wardrobes, and are extremely versatile when it comes to incorporating and styling them in an outfit. Grey high waisted joggers* are an essential with me, you can style them with various bodysuits, crop tops, t shirts and sweaters for the ultimate chill look. I was drawn to picking these joggers as I felt the ruffled paper bag style waist just added that extra detail and interest to a plain pair of joggers.

Finally, outfit number 4, another all black outfit. This time, something a little more smart and dressed up, but still suitable for an everyday, casual look. If you hadn't guessed by now, I love an all black outfit. I find them to be so effortless, stylish and flattering on any body shape and size. I think mixing materials and textures within an outfit really helps bring it together and make it stand out, which is what I've done here. A simple cotton high neck bodysuit paired with some faux leather high waisted joggers* is a match made in heaven. A running theme throughout these outfits has been some chunky black trainers, and I also think these are a must have shoe.

So whether you're looking for some outfit inspo, or are simply on the hunt for some new sites to purchase some new clothing items, I hope this post has given you that much needed inspiration. I know I definitely want to fill my wardrobe with loads more stylish and versatile casual pieces. You can never have too many!

When it comes to jewellery, I keep my collection pretty basic as it's not something I tend to wear on an everyday basis. When I do incorporate jewellery into an outfit, I tend to wear pretty small and definitely more subtle pieces, as I find these much more comfortable to wear. When it comes to wearing minimalist jewellery, you don't want to get too fussy.

Top tips when picking dainty jewellery pieces

- Pick simple, clean pieces. This allows you to make a statement with your jewellery choices whilst still being minimal. Think of it in terms of the saying "less is more".

- Go bold with geometric design pieces. If you want to add some interest to your jewellery collection, incorporating chains with pendants might be something to go for. They help being some elegance to your outfit, whilst being super simplistic and easy to wear.

- Stack your statement pieces. This styling technique can really take your basic outfit from 0 to 100 with minimal effort. Layering up 2 or 3 necklaces together is an easy way to make your jewellery stand out, whilst not being to loud and 'in your face'.

- Avoid mixing metals with necklaces. This is something I tend to stick to. When it comes to jewellery, I usually stick to gold as this is my preferred metal. I find by sticking to one metal for necklaces helps to pull the look together and makes it more sophisticated and classic.

Jewel Editions Necklace

A recent addition to my collection has been from Jewel Editions; an everyday jewellery company that combines quality materials, contemporary designs, and affordable prices. 
I decided to add the Gold Moon Necklace* into my collection as I thought it was the perfect addition to my minimal jewellery collection. 

This delicate gold necklace is a subtle and classic piece that can help add that hint of sparkle to any outfit. I've been wearing the necklace alone for a more simple, dainty look, or sometimes teaming it up with something a little more chunky for a more layered look. I find that when I mix different necklaces, it helps to create more of a statement piece that can really bring a more casual outfit to life.

Jewel Editions Gold Moon Necklace

"Representing changing seasons, the ebb and flow of the tide and a symbol of life in many faiths."

Why necklaces are the perfect outfit accessory

-  They add interest to your outfit. Incorporating necklaces into your daily outfits can help add interest and sometimes be a conversation starter. With the right size and style, they can intrigue others to ask questions.

- To dress up a more casual look. Adding statement pieces to casual outfits is the easiest way to take your look from day to night. A t-shirt and jeans might be a simple everyday outfit, but combine it with a statement necklace and some heels, and it's instantly more dressy.

- They draw eyes up to your face. Having a focal point near your face will draw attention to it, and make other parts of your body/outfit less noticeable.

2020 has been the year of loungewear. The global pandemic has seen many of us in lockdown and staying at home. We've all ditched the jeans and tight clothing in favour for something more comfortable and relaxed. Everybody has been going loungewear crazy over the last few months, and there's no doubt about it that it's been super popular, and it's definitely here to stay for the foreseeable future. Whether you're working from home, Netflixing and chill, popping to the shops or just want something cosy and cute to wear, loungewear is definitely your best friend, and you definitely need to get stocked up!

 Loungewear is so versatile, dressed up or dressed down, there's so many ways to wear it, and still look stylish yet comfy. If you saw my Lockdown Loungewear Lookbook, you'll know I'm a huge fan of joggers - especially from FemmeLuxe! Joggers are stylish, super comfy, and flattering for all ages and all body types. They are the ULTIMATE chill, cosy day essential when it comes to clothing. I've put together 4 different outfits to show different ways that I would style joggers for some simple but casual Autumn/Winter everyday looks.

Loungewear Outfits

1. Slogan Tees & Joggers

Firstly, I've paired some dark green cuffed joggers* with a simple slogan tee. Slogan tees are a wardrobe MUST HAVE. The colour of these joggers just screams Autumn/Winter to me. During the colder months of the year, I definitely gravitate towards more dark, earthy tones to add to my wardrobe, and these khaki joggers seemed like the perfect addition. Featuring an elasticated waist with a hidden drawstring, you can really cinch these joggers in to give you a bit of shape, as the oversized legs might be a bit much for you. To complete the outfit, I would style it with either an oversized leather jacket or an aviator style coat, and some chunky trainers or boots, for a more edgy outfit.

2. Long Sleeve T Shirt & Joggers

These light blue cuffed joggers* are just the cutest. The colour is simply unreal, a beautiful light blue/green shade which is unlike any other pair of joggers in my current collection. Colder weather means we ditch the short sleeves in favour of long sleeve tops. These joggers also feature a drawstring waist, which is perfect for when you want to tuck tops in. Paired with a borg style teddy coat and some trainers would make the cutest, casual outfit.

Loungewear Outfits

3. Hoodie & Joggers

This is the ultimate comfort outfit. There's honestly nothing better than a cute and casual matching loungewear set. This outfit is the perfect off-duty look for everyday wear. A cute Co-Ord just make you feel more 'put together' and looks like you made more of an effort than you actually have. If i were to wear this outside, then I would team it with an oversized puffer jacket and a pair of chunky trainers for a simple, stylish outfit. You could even style it with a chunky necklace and a baseball cap if you wish to accessorize. If you don't have a grey oversized/crop hoodie and a pair of grey cuffed joggers* then you're really missing out! 

Loungewear Outfits

4. Bodysuit & Joggers

These cream fleece front pocket joggers* are unlike anything I've seen before. The front pockets are so big - imagine how many snacks you could fit in those! Anyway, teaming a bodysuit with joggers is basically the perfect combination. The top half is tucked in and you know it won't be rolling up and ruining the look. To make this outfit more appropriate for the colder weather, I would pair it with an oversized shacket - ultimate cosy vibes - and some trainers or even some chunky boots, for a simple everyday look. 

Whether you're looking for a new Lounge Set, cosy joggers, or just some pieces to revamp your wardrobe with, FemmeLuxe is a great place to shop. Super affordable, a huge variety of clothing, great quality and fast delivery, what more could you want?

 Glasses are often thought of as a practical item rather than a fashion piece, but that’s the wrong way to look at it. Glasses are no different from any other accessory and you need to match them to the rest of your outfit. Just like any other fashion item, glasses trends change year on year and if you want your look to be relevant, you need to keep up.

When you are buying glasses, it is obviously important that you get the right lenses so you can see properly, but you also need to consider the style of the frames. Think about the colour and the material and how that fits with your overall style. Does it match your jewellery, for example? The shape is very important as well because wearing the wrong frame shape for your face will give the wrong look.

If you haven’t put much thought into your glasses before and you don’t really know what is fashionable at the moment, check out this list of glasses trends for the coming year. 

sustainable wooden glasses

Sustainable Materials 

Sustainability is big in all industries right now, including fashion and beauty. There are some amazing sustainable fashion brands out there trying to create beautiful pieces made from recyclable materials, and the last few years have seen an explosion in cruelty free, vegan cosmetics. Sustainability is equally important where glasses are concerned because a lot of glasses are made from plastic, which contributes to waste in a big way.


However, there are some great companies making glasses from sustainable materials like wood, and metal has long been a favourite choice for people that want something more durable. There are also brands that make glasses from recycled plastic from the oceans, so you can get a great pair of glasses and help to reduce plastic waste at the same time. So, next time you pick a pair of glasses, think about how they are made and where the materials come from. 

Bold Colour Patterns 

Bold colour patterns are very popular among glasses wearers right now. Although something minimalist can work, a lot of people are choosing to go for patterned frames instead. There are some great brands like Tory Burch, creating amazing lines that combine functionality and design with amazing style. You can check out their range here and see some of the vibrant designs that are available. If you are going to go bold, make sure to think about your overall style. Balance is key, so find colour schemes and patterns that work well with your favourite outfits and your other accessories. 

The Havana style is particularly popular right now, especially during the winter and autumn. These frames are characterised by warm browns and oranges and they’re perfect for anybody that likes to wear natural, earthy tones and is looking for a pair of glasses to match. 

Monochromatic Glasses 

If bold colours don’t suit your style, why not try another one of the latest glasses trends; monochromatic glasses. Monochromatic styles rarely go out of fashion because they’re simple and bold. A lot of people are going for matching frames and lenses, to create a monochromatic look in their eyewear as well. Lenses come in a range of colours, like yellow, sepia, blue, and black, so you can easily match them to the frames. You can still add a bit of pattern to the frames if you don’t want a completely minimalist look, or you can go plain for the simple but stylish effect.

Clear Glasses

Clear frames can make just as much of a statement as monochromatic or heavily patterned ones. Chunky, clear plastic frames are popular right now and they’re a good choice for anybody that wants a retro style but still wants something classy and elegant. This style works best when matched with simple outfits, but the beauty is, they work with almost anything. You are not tied down by the colour or pattern, so you can match them with any outfits and accessories and they will work just fine. If you don’t want your glasses to take away from the rest of your outfit, clear frames are a good choice. 

Large Frames 

People tend to be a bit scared of large frames when they’re buying glasses, but if you can pull them off, they look amazing. They make a real statement and wearing large glasses is a simple but effective way to change up your look and do something unexpected. Large sunglasses have long been a fashion staple that never really goes out of style, but you will get the same effect if you go big with your normal glasses too. If you are going to opt for large frames, it may be best to go for something plain. If you notice, most large sunglasses are plain black rather than having heavily patterned frames. This is because they can be overpowering if they are large and very brightly coloured. You don’t want your glasses to steal the show, but you do still want them to make a statement, so find a good balance and go for large, plain frames. 

Slim Frames 

Don’t worry if you don’t like the idea of wearing large frames and you want something more understated. You can still keep up with the latest trends because slim frames are still set to be very popular in the coming year. They are particularly good for people with an oval or triangular shaped face, but the style suits most people. Simple half frames or round glasses with a thin metal or wooden frame are very popular at the minute. These styles still offer the opportunity to add a burst of colour, so if you like the idea of monochromatic glasses but you don’t want anything that draws too much attention, look for a slim frame. 

However, if you have a round face, it’s best to avoid round frames. They will only exacerbate your face shape and highlight the soft edges too much. It’s better to wear square frames with sharper angles to balance things out a bit. There are some great square styles with slim frames out there and these are much better suited to anybody with a round face shape.

Aviators

If you want a retro look that is still contemporary, you’re in luck because aviators are making a big comeback. They are always a popular choice for sunglasses but now they’re becoming fashionable for people that wear eyeglasses too. They’re perfect for people with a square shaped face because, even though they have a lot of length to them and they are quite bold, the rounded edges help to balance the shape of the face. They’re the perfect style for somebody that wants an everyday pair of glasses that offers something different and still makes a big statement, without being overpowering. This trend comes back around every few years, so a good pair of aviators will stand you in good stead. 

Choosing glasses is more difficult than people think. Before you start looking at any frames, it’s important that you know what your face shape is so you can select the right style. You should be looking for frames that balance your face shape instead of amplifying it. Once you have a clear idea of the shape, you can then start experimenting with some of these great eyewear trends to see what works for you. Just remember to consider your outfit as a whole and pick glasses that fit with your overall style. 

Follow these simple steps and your glasses become an amazing accessory rather than a functional item that you hate wearing.

Living in joggers ATM? Me too! I've ditched the jeans in favour for joggers, sweatshirts, hoodies and leggings. Of course, loungewear is more popular and more available than ever, now that we are again being advised to spend more time at home in light of coronavirus pandemic. And, with many of us working from home or furloughed, it's important we're all as comfortable as possible during such uncertain times, as well as keeping warm during the colder months of the year. For me, loungewear is the epitome of comfort; you can still feel cute, casual and comfy, whilst looking super stylish and put together. Loungewear might be basic, but it's definitely not boring! There's so many cute styles and sets available, you'll be wanting something in every colour and your wardrobe will be filling up in no time at all!

I was recently kindly gifted some pieces from FemmeLuxe, and wanted to share some lockdown loungewear pieces with you and how I have styled them. Joggers and lounge sets are this seasons essentials, whether you dress them up or down, they are super versatile and some comfy pieces you defo need. If you're looking for a pair of new joggers or a loungewear set, you'll want to keep reading this post as you may just find what you've been after!
Loungewear Outfit Inspo
Outfit 1 - You can never go wrong with a black outfit. Black clothing is definitely my favourite to wear and this combo is the perfect 'fit for everyone. Featuring an elasticated waist with a hidden drawstring and a cuffed hem, these joggers are super comfy and flattering. I've teamed up these black oversized joggers* with a slogan sweatshirt for the perfect everyday look. I sized up in these lounge joggers, so they would be super oversized and comfy. This outfit is perfect for both inside and outside, so whether you're popping to the shops, chilling in bed watching Netflix or even doing an at home workout, this is what you need!

Grey Tie Dye Oversized Sweatshirt Loungewear Set FemmeLuxe
Outfit 2 - Is there anything cuter than a matching co-ord lounge set? If tie dye and oversized is your vibe, then you're gonna need to get your hands on this asap! This grey tie dye loungewear set* is so soft and slightly more fitted to the body, you could even wear these as a pyjama set. You could even wear this out of the house too! Simply pair with an oversized black puffer coat and some chunky trainers, and you're good to go!

Tan Cuffed Joggers FemmeLuxe
Outfit 3 - For this outfit, I kept things quite neutral and styled the outfit around similar colour tones. Nudes and browns are everywhere these days, and definitely some of the top colours of the autumn/winter season. I've teamed a simple nude sleeveless bodysuit with some tan oversized joggers*, for that casual off-duty look. To add some warmth to the outfit, I've paired it with a neutral checked shacket which are super on-trend right now, and perfect for those slightly warmer, autumnal days when you don't need a super warm coat.

Stone High Waisted Seam Cuffed Joggers FemmeLuxe
Outfit 4 - Again, another simple outfit. You can't go wrong with an oversized sweat and some joggers for the perfect WFH outfit.. On this occasion, I've gone for something slightly different. These high waisted joggers* have a seam running down them, which just adds some interested to the outfit, and helps to elongate the legs. A simple slogan sweat is a must have, and this green colour is absolutely gorgeous! Team this with a pair of slippers for at home, or a gorgeous, thick teddy coat and trainers for when you're popping out.

So whether you're looking for some WFH outfit inspo, or are simply on the hunt for some casual, comfy and super affordable loungewear, I hope this post has given you that much needed inspiration. I know I definitely want to fill my wardrobe with loads more joggers and sets. You can never have too many!

When purchasing jewellery for gifting purposes, it can be extremely hard to find something suitable for the right price. Ideally you want to pay a good price for the perfect piece, and that you know is worth the price tag and is made to last. Many jewellers these days are mass producing the same pieces, making them widely available to everyone, but have you ever considered purchasing something slightly older, timeless and antique? Antique jewellery can be just as statement and stunning as newer made jewellery pieces, and can really be worth the investment. For a piece of jewellery to be considered antique it has to be 100 years’ or more old, this really gives the item some character and allows you to see the detail and quality from the time it was produced.

Whether you're one the lookout for rings, necklaces, earrings or bracelets, here are a few reasons why antique jewellery would make the perfect gift for anyone, and why you should consider it over new jewellery pieces.

antique jewellery

 Antique jewellery items have been made to a high quality and finish, as they are almost always hand-made or hand-finished with such incredible details. These pieces would have been produced by experienced craft men, allowing these jewellery pieces to be the best of the best. These jewellery pieces are specially designed often creating intricate and unique designs on a bespoke basis, rather than for the mass market. 

 Items can be a good investment if purchased from a reputable and well established jewellers, such as carusjewellery.com. You'll be under the impression that these fantastic jewellery pieces have been well looked after and kept in pristine condition. It's also worth mentioning that purchasing antique jewellery has a huge impact on the environment, as this way of sourcing pieces is much more sustainable and ethical. Investing in antique jewellery pieces is a great way to minimise wastefulness and be more environmentally friendly, and is one of the easiest ways of conserving precious resources. You'll also be supporting smaller, local businesses instead of mass corporations, which can be very rewarding to know.

 One of the main advantages of buying antique jewellery is that you are almost certain not to find someone else wearing the exact same piece. Antique items are more unique and not mass made, making them extraordinary timeless pieces that can really make a statement in any jewellery collection. Many antique pieces were often handmade so even similar pieces are slightly different and you can almost guarantee your piece will be one of a kind.

antique jewellery

When choosing antique jewellery items, you can really search for the perfect piece, specially personalised for the person receiving the gift. For example, you could purchase a piece that reflects the person's birthstone, or a piece is made reflecting a certain style that they like. For me, my birthstone is diamond, so this ring would be perfect. Researching into buying the perfect antique piece of jewellery can be really exciting, and can really make the gift more sentimental, more special and more thoughtful.

Overall, researching and hunting down the perfect antique pieces of jewellery maybe tiresome work, and may take some time to find the exact piece you're looking for, but it is definitely worth it in the long run. Not only do you have a memorable piece of history, but you will also have such a unique product that will really make a statement in your jewellery collection. You'll be able to wear your timeless piece of jewellery year after year and it definitely wont go out of fashion any time soon!

 When it comes to gemstones, aquamarines are the undisputed champions of that pale blue hue that we know and love. Aquamarine engagement rings bring something a little different to the table compared to the usual diamond ring. Their colour is subtle enough that it’s still obvious from a distance that you’re engaged, and not wearing any old ring, but it’s also bold enough that people can’t help but be amazed by its beauty – rightly so! But which are the top aquamarine engagement ring styles? Let’s find out! 

Top Aquamarine Engagement Ring Styles

Classic - Of course, you can’t talk about engagement ring styles without discussing the all-time classic: the solitaire. A single stone can represent so much when it becomes your engagement ring – and it doesn’t have to be a diamond to do the trick! Aquamarine solitaires are a real thing of beauty. Not only are they a colour so pure and classic, but they also have a clearness to them that makes them suit everything.

For the type of frequent wearing an engagement ring expects, aquamarines are up to the task of matching every piece in your wardrobe! They’re also very versatile in other areas; whether you’re warm-toned or cool-toned, aquamarines will match you well. Their unique shade means they look good with white gold or yellow gold, so there’s definitely a solitaire out there for you!

Top Aquamarine Engagement Ring Styles

Art Deco Dream - Art Deco is a style that never seems to fade away, perpetually coming back to be the star of the show in the best way. Think geometric shapes, bold structure, very architectural. If this matches your kind of style, then an Art Deco aquamarine engagement ring is the ring for you. Cuts like emerald cut, princess cut, cushion cut, and the stunning marquise cut are commonplace in Art Deco jewellery.

Aquamarines fit the Art Deco style like they were made for it. Their cool colouring and crystal-clear internal structures play with light refraction in a way that suits the hard edges and almost tough style of this kind of jewellery. Engagement rings in this style are best suited to those who are looking to make a powerful statement with their jewellery!

Top Aquamarine Engagement Ring Styles

Contemporary Cool - One of the most popular engagement ring styles of the moment is the halo ring. One central stone, with a gorgeous band, or ‘halo’, of smaller gemstones encircling it – truly stunning stuff! Diamond halo rings are a sparkling mass that’s a sight for sore eyes, it’s true, but a corker central aquamarine makes a world of difference to the overall appearance of the ring.

Getting engaged is a worthy enough time to get something special, and the aquamarine halo rings on the market are blinding! There’s also the option to get the inverted version: a central diamond surrounded by a halo of aquamarines. This allows the diamond the reign supreme if you’re into that, and still gets a pop of colour that’s to die for, as well as actually accentuating the central diamond.

Trios and Twists - A trilogy ring, for anyone not in the know, is a ring with three stones on it – surprise surprise. Trilogy rings have risen in popularity as an engagement ring choice in recent years, embodying both a timeless and fashion-forward aesthetic. Typically, they are of course three diamonds all in a row, sometimes with the central stone being larger than the stones at either side. 

It doesn’t have to be this way, however, as coloured gemstones are taking centre-stage more and more. Aquamarines are particularly suited to this style because of their stunning clarity. An aquamarine with accenting diamonds glitters unlike anything else! They’re also a popular choice for this style because of the cost-effectiveness of the gemstone. A trilogy ring starring an aquamarine will cost a pretty penny but it’s nothing compared to an all-diamond affair!

Getting engaged is a special thing, and it deserves a special ring. That rhyme was nice, but aquamarine engagement rings are nicer by far. If you’re thinking about getting engaged, consider something a little different from the usual and experiment with aquamarines. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but aquamarines are coming for the crown!

 When it comes to fashion, Autumn/Winter clothing is definitely my favourite. Think coats and jackets, leather trousers, check shirts, hoodies and cosy jumpers. You name it, I've probably got it! In this post, I've put together 3 simple yet stylish outfits that will carry you through the rest of the year, with the main item of clothing from KATCH ME's winter range. So if you're in the need for some Autumn/Winter inspo, look no further!

Autumn/Winter Casual Outfits

You can never have too many coats and jackets. Puffer coats, shackets, leather jackets and denim jackets, all Autumn/Winter wardrobe essentials, and pieces you can wear year after year as they never go out of style. I picked up this Blue Oversized Distressed Denim Jacket* that I think is the perfect addition to any autumn outfit, especially on those warmer days where you don't need such a heavy, thick coat. This denim jacket is the perfect piece to team with an all black outfit for that pop of colour.

Autumn/Winter Casual Outfits

Secondly, leather trousers and leather leggings. A MUST HAVE! PU and faux leather are perfect for any occasion, and a great way to take outfits from day to night. I opted for some Black Faux Leather High Waist Slim Fit Trousers* as these are super versatile when styling, and can be teamed with anything to make an effortless outfit. Think bodysuits, checked shirts, oversized jumpers, cropped tees and blazers, the outfit inspo is endless!

Autumn/Winter Casual Outfits

Finally, loungewear. Autumn/Winter clothing is all about comfort, and loungewear is the perfect addition to any wardrobe. Think oversized hoodies and cosy joggers, you wouldn't want anything else to chill in, and still look super stylish. A Grey Oversized Hoodie* is what I've teamed with some black jeans, a pair of trainers and an oversized puffer jacket for a casual everyday outfit.

   Whilst browsing the Femme Luxe website, I managed to pick three pieces that I wanted to style and share with you how I would wear each piece. I've picked some super casual pieces that I feel would be perfect for styling day to day. Each piece featured can be both dressed up or dressed down, depending on the occasion or time of day. For this blog post, I've chosen to style each piece in a more daytime appropriate, casual way.

Black Cuffed Cargo Trousers*Black Cuffed Cargo Trousers*

Cargo Trousers have been super popular over the last few months, and someone I definitely thought I wouldn't like to wear or find easy to style. But I was definitely wrong. This style of trouser makes a great alternative to jeans or leggings, and can be easily teamed with bodysuits, crop tops, oversized jumpers or simple tees.

Black High Waisted PU Leggings*Black High Waisted PU Leggings*

A perfect Winter wardrobe staple are PU Trousers and Leggings. A great way to make your outfit look more put together and dressy, as well as being pretty comfortable. PU trousers and leggings are very versatile when it comes to making an outfit - style them with hoodies and trainers, a nice top and heels, or even jumpers and boots.

Black Oversized Sweater Mini Dress*

Finally Sweat Dresses. The perfect go-to, quick and easy outfit when you are stuck for something to wear. Pair with heels, trainers or boots and your outfit is pretty much ready. I paired the sweat dress with a simple black belt just to help add some shape to the outfit, and accessorised with a layered necklace to tie the look together.

When it comes to styling outfits for evening dinners or nights out, I always pick pieces that I know I will be comfortable in, but still look cute and like I made an effort. Whilst browsing the Femme Luxe website, I managed to pick three pieces that I wanted to style and share with you how I would wear each piece.

Something a little basic but really feels like an outfit is pulled together, dressing up a Co-Ord is a great outfit choice for a night out. I opted for a black slinky crop top and skirt combo which is so cute and girly, yet sophisticated. To dress the outfit down a little, I chucked on a khaki denim jacket to add some colour.

Finally, if super casual is your thing, an easy Bodysuit and jeans outfit is a definite must. I picked out this gorgeous Bardot style slinky body, which crosses over at the front for some added detail. Paired together with some high waisted jeans, and a belt, and you're good to go!

Overall, I was really impressed with both the sizing and the quality of the pieces I picked from the Femme Luxe site. I think my favourite outfit would definitely be the Oversized T Shirt Dress. It's probably the easiest and most comfortable outfit I have put together and it still looks like you made a huge effort with your outfit. You can dress it up or dress it down, making it such a versatile piece for your wardrobe, whether you need a daytime or evening outfit.

When it comes to online shopping and styling outfits, I always pick pieces that I know I will be comfortable in, but still look cute and like I made an effort. Whilst browsing the Femme Luxe website, I managed to find 4 items of clothing that I would wear for when I need a casual and comfortable outfit for the day ahead. I've chosen pieces that I feel are must-have wardrobe essentials, that would suit all sizes and shapes. 

Whether you're lounging about at home, popping to the shop, out with the girls or even heading to the airport, I think I've put together 4 super casual yet super stylish outfits.

Long sleeve sweatshirt dress
Black Digits Printed Slogan Oversized T-Shirt Dress - Adele* 

Everyone loves a good T Shirt Dress. They are the perfect outfit go-to when you don't really know what to wear. Dressed up with heels. Dressed down with trainers. It's the perfect centrepiece for any casual and comfortable outfit. Pair with some simple accessories and you're good to go. I've opted to add a belt to help add some shape to the outfit and really cinch it in towards my waist, as without it I think it's slightly too baggy for me and doesn't flatter the body too much. In terms of footwear, I would wear some classic old skool vans to tie in the monochrome colour scheme, which I think just make this look more sporty and stylish. Just a perfect everyday outfit that's super quick and easy, and you still look great.

Oversized printed hoodie
Black Gold Lip Print Hoodie - Kasia *

I am all about comfort. Sometimes way little too much. I love loungewear; joggers, t-shirts and hoodies are my go-to when I'm chilling at home. An Oversized Hoodie screams 100% comfort. The perfect clothing item for when you want to ditch the tight clothes and just want to be cosy and lounge around the house. Teamed up with some cycle shorts, leggings, joggers or jeans, as well as a good pair of chunky trainers and you have a super casual outfit for when you just need to pop to the shops or even the perfect airport outfit. A great off duty look for the girl that loves comfort over style.

Navy Shirt Dress
Navy Rolled Sleeves Shirt Dress - Noa*

An item of clothing for that perfect smart casual look is a simple Shirt Dress. Another wardrobe must-have that can also be dressed up or down, and you still look like you made an effort with your outfit choice. Shirt dresses are made for day-to-day dressing, they are so versatile in terms of styling, as they suit all body types, shapes and sizes. I picked out the Navy Shirt Dress which I think is a colour that would suit all skin tones, and is also a very classic and more formal colour. The shirt dress comes with a material belt that helps draw in your waist to help accentuate your figure and really bring you in at your smallest point. I would definitely team this dress with some trainers for a more casual daytime outfit or a pair of heels if you're going out for the night, depending on the look you are going for. It's the perfect dress for your next date night as well. Super cute yet super classy sophisticated.

Khaki loungewear tracksuit set

Finally, you can't get anymore casual with a simple Loungewear Set. Loungewear is the perfect choice for when you want to be cosy and comfortable at home. A super relaxed slim fit style but still looking cute, what more could you want? I probably wouldn't wear this Femme Luxe set out of the house, I'll just keep it for my pyjama collection. Thrown on with some cute slippers or fluffy sliders and you got the perfect chilling outfit.

Overall, I was really impressed with both the sizing and the quality of the pieces I picked from the Femme Luxe site. I think my favourite outfit would definitely be the Oversized T Shirt Dress. It's probably the easiest and most comfortable outfit I have put together and it still looks like you made a huge effort with your outfit. You can dress it up or dress it down, making it such a versatile piece for your wardrobe, whether you need a daytime or evening outfit.
