2021 Wardrobe Essentials - 5 Staples for the New Year

Lockdown got you down? Theres no better way to get excited for 2021 than to update your wardrobe and move on from the loungewear we've all been festering in for months on end! These top picks will flatter EVERY body type to get you feeling your best for returning to normal life!



 

1) Culottes


After loungewear took over in 2020, I think I speak for us all when I say that jeans are the last thing I want to wear in the New Year lockdown. What better trouser than one that holds you in at the waist, creating a beautiful waistline, and that is loose and comfortable on the leg?! Introducing your new favourite, the classic culotte.




Forever New Angie Belted Culottes - £80



These high waisted cullotte trousers are the ideal comfy but dressy alternative to ease you back into getting dressed up. The wide leg and breezy material makes these the ideal working from home trouser for when you want to get back into work mode. Belted at the waist and wide on the leg, these structured culottes will give the illusion of a tiny waistline on all body types. They are also amazing for wearing with fitted knitwear for Winter and Autumn and also are brilliant for pairing with a white lightweight blouse in Spring and Summer.




Mango Culotte Trouser - £35.99



These black culottes will quickly overtake your favourite pair of jeans because of how breezy and lightweight they are. This affordable pair from Zara will become your work from home best friend and will make you feel elegant and fabulous whilst also being the most comfortable trousers you can find. The high waist silhouette will accentuate your waist and make it look smaller in comparison to the wide leg bottom. A wardrobe essential for life.



 


2) Jumpers Galore


Zoom call fashion does not require office style, however to embrace the New Year spirit,I do think everyones comfy clothes need a refresh. A structured jumper is the perfect quick and effortless way to inject some style back into your wardrobe.



& Other Stories - Cropped Turtleneck Knit Jumper - £85



This jumper may look like a classic you might already own, however the cropped style of makes it the perfect contemporary piece to show off your waistline and make you look leaner in a stylish and conservative way. Pair with high waist culottes to create a flowing sleek outfit that elongates your legs yet still is comfortable enough for January and sleek and stylish enough to wear out of the house.





Zara - Asymmetric Knit Sweater- £27.99



No need for boring bland knitwear that resembles a sock! This asymmetric cable knit sweater is ideal for adding glamour back to your wardrobe. The combination of a sexy exposed shoulder with the warmth and comfort of the knit makes this is the perfect piece to transition to spring.



 

3) Unique Outerwear


Although we probably won't be going out of the house socialising lots during lockdown, we still need some stylish cardigans and shawls for keeping warm in doors and of course our essential trips to the shops! Go with bold prints and contemporary silhouettes to give life to your lockdown outfits.



Anthropologie - Houndstooth shawl cardigan - £98



There's no better way to feel inspired than with a bold print. The neutral tones of the houndstooth make it the perfect piece to pair with all colours of your wardrobe for a comfy casual look with a fun contemporary take on a classic print.

I imagine most of us are bored of simple knit jumpers and boring silhouettes. This asymmetric cardigan is the ideal effortless piece that looks as stylish as it is comfortable. Perfect to throw on when running errands on those cold winter mornings and will go with just about every outfit in your wardrobe! This piece is as elegant and fashion forward as a cardigan gets whilst also being practical and warm!
