The mood is cheery now and we know why: the weather is getting warmer and outdoor activities beckon. If you’re born stylish and you’d like to spice up your look, you certainly need more than just your lipgloss. From city to city, fashionistas on budget are groaning because of the huge cost of living. But whether you like to ‘steal or splurge,’ you can still rev up your wardrobe with a few items heightened by a very skillful mix and match.
- Get A Waistcoat
Here’s the deal: this 2024 spring trend echoes some patterns of the late 80s and early 90s. Don’t wear anything else but a bra underneath your waistcoat. Single tone works better to look classy. An alternative to your waistcoat is the sleeveless blazer. You can pair it with a wide-legged pair of jeans.
- Season of Sheer Appeal
You can bring out your sheer tops this spring. Actually, only bold women have nailed this look for ages. Conservative women tend to shy away from sheer because of its revealing nature. But you can still knock off the trend on your fashion bucket list if you get one that won’t put your t##s on display. You can either wear sheer on the sleeves or layer it with something that covers up most of your chest. Men are also feeling this trend. A case in point is the singer-songwriter Lenny Kravitz.

Wide leg pants are everywhere. But you can create an authentic look with a pair that comes with slits. It’s the ultimate look for a casual outing.
- Go Croppy with Cropped Blazer

Be it plaid or plain, cropped blazers are super cool for a business meeting or corporate casual event. If you’re in your 40s and above, and you have elbow wrinkles, the blazer covers up the glitch. If you have a bulging waist, this style is not for you unless you are going to commit to strict intermittent fasting and a veg-based diet. Men and women can go croppy, by the way.
- A Legend of Short ‘Fits

- You need a fit for spring or summer? Even rain? Vote for shorts because they are arguably the most comfortable item in the wardrobe and can be so addictive. You can turn up on the beach and in the club with shorts only make sure that the fabric choice is right. Leather and jeans are good for nighttime while soft colourful fabrics are perfect for the beach 🏖️
