Pretty blouse + neutral trousers + statement bag
This is suitable for a spring season
A pretty blouse for spring is an obvious choice, and they have a way of making everything feel a little more special. The trick is pairing it with something simple enough to let it breathe. Neutral trousers are the perfect partner here, they do the job without stealing the spotlight.
The bag is where you get to have some fun. Choose something with a bit of personality, a texture, a print, a colour and suddenly the whole outfit feels considered and complete without you having to try very hard at all.
Simply accessories using colours from the bag, neutrals for your season or your seasons metallics!
All of these items are available to shop in the Spring Curated Wardrobe
Body shape adaptations:
Hourglass — The tailored trouser is a great shape for you and keeps everything feeling polished.
Triangle — The volume and detail of the blouse draws the eye upward beautifully. Keep the trousers simple and straight, nothing too wide or voluminous on the bottom half.
Circle — Let the blouse skim over the waist rather than tucking it in. The peplum shape of this blouse is actually really flattering as it skims rather than clings. Keep the trouser straight and unfussy.
Rectangle — The blouse adds shape and femininity to your top half. A slight front tuck hints at a waist without being too structured. Have fun with a wider leg trouser if you want to add some movement.
Inverted Triangle — Go for a wider or more relaxed trouser leg to add visual volume to your lower half and balance broader shoulders. A bold or colourful bag draws the eye downward nicely.
Remember these are just suggestions for 'balancing' your body shape — take what works for you and skip what doesn't.
