Head to Toe: Starting 2022 with these elevated fashion styling ideas

Ensuring all eyes are on you this January is easy if you opt for one of these dazzlingly sweeping statements or perhaps topping your carefully curated ensemble with a winter headpiece to finish. All glances turn to you whether you’ve chosen to dress to the nines or pull it back with a casual day-chic outfit. 

Bold Shoulder

Big and boxy are beautiful. Slant towards a more modish attire in these fetching femininely masculine coats, blazers and wraps with standout shoulders. As seen on the runways of Dior, Versace and Isabel Marant, they impart a power play that modern women so richly deserve.

Sweeping Statemetns

Nothing completes a winter ensemble quite like a long coat. Adding drama to your OOTD, a fierce new attitude to your stride, and warmth when you chill, overcoats that hover around the ankles are hands-down, show-stopping accoutrements.

Cloak & Swagger

Capes came back into fashion a few seasons ago and there’s no sign of them disappearing. Taking inspiration from Victorian royals, then elevating this outerwear trend with flowing elegance and flexible functionality, they are at their buoyant best on the runways of Gucci and Valentino.

Head’s Up

As temperatures drop, focus on the very top with a winter headpiece that will be the talk of the party. Statement pieces from the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Burberry, Dior and Chanel turn heads, punctuating your ensemble with plenty of punch.

Retro Fashion: Timeless ensemble for a classic vintage look

Nothing really goes out of style in fashion — they only turn vintage.

Take for example a 80s inspired dress suit with an edgy side slit by Miu Miu for the power-forward modern woman or a classy yet snazzy disco- flashy jacket and trousers by Gucci… These snapshot-ready fashion styling ideas will jazz up your Instagram feed any time of the day.
