Why Fashion Stylists Love A Good Blazer

Why Fashion Stylists Love A Good Blazer If you're following fashion stylist's, personal shoppers or an influencer you will notice they tend to have blazers on rotation for an outfit post, photo shoot or even their daily street style. You may ask yourself, why is a blazer so common with style guru's? You may be thinking it can be to formal or for a work event and not just not your personal style. BUT that is not the case - we as stylists love a great blazer for every style you can imagine! What can a blazer do for your wardrobe & style?

Fashion Stylist | The Most Requested Look For Male Client’s

Fashion Stylist | The most Requested Look For Male Clients A good number of Mabelle Style's clients have a professional or business background. In regards to our male clients, I find they often work in a job that requires 'minimal' time wearing suits, but they still are required to maintain a professional look. Insert the sports jacket. This has been a go-to look for a large percentage of my clients due to the fact that they are able to wear it to work as well as make it cool for evenings out. When I styled this photo shoot I was excited to share some pictures of this look, so often requested. Style tip * Make sure you find a sports coat that fits! Meaning, have some shape at the waistline and the fabric should have some 'give' to avoid feeling constricted when you do activities or when driving. * Dress up the sports jacket by adding a dress shoe or give a cool casual vibe by investing in a sneaker, such as this pair of Goodman sneakers.

Fashion Stylist | 1 Spring Outfit, 4 NEW Looks

Fashion Stylist | 1 Spring Outfit, 4 NEW Looks One of the biggest challenges people have with their wardrobe is how to put outfits together. It can be difficult due to either having way to many clothes with-in the wardrobe, feeling overwhelmed not being able to tie everything together or they happen to be missing some key items that will pull outfits together with what they currently own. Or they just might need a brand new wardrobe.... whatever the case may be I like to suggest capsule wardrobes, when clients don't have an overwhelming amount of clothes but just enough to create multi-functional outfits. In my latest YouTube I wanted to share a fun Spring (trendy) outfit I added to my wardrobe but was able to re-purpose into 4 outfits. Check it out below! BACK TO BLOG LIBRARY

Personal Shopper | Staying Cozy In Sweater Dresses

Whether shopping in stores or shopping online I've noticed a consistent trend from multiple brands, the sweater dress. It has been styled as either a two piece (like the one I'm wearing in this post) or a one piece item. What I love about this particular look is that it keeps us cozy during the winter days with some high boots and a puffer coat or you could also carry it forward to those transitional months (March & April) where it isn't quite warm enough for spring / summer fashions. Style Tip: replace the boots with a cute sneaker; replace your winter coat with a leather jacket; and now you have a few more months to wear this winter look! Check out some of my favorite sweater dresses of the season! BACK TO BLOG LIBRARY
