Millennials, whether you feel judged by colleagues, or gravitate towards someone’s style, a new study by Trunk Club found that 1 in 3 people’s workplace fashion is shaped by coworkers.

  • 40% befriend co-workers with similar style
  • 30% feel judged when wearing comfortable clothes at work
  • 20% avoid co-workers who dress outright “sloppy”
  • People with “bohemian” or “sporty” personal styles are least likely to represent it at work

For more on this survey, and greater insight into how Millennials cope with office dress codes, take a look at the full results.

Many women fall into the trap of not only under utilizing their wardrobe but are even unaware of simply steps they can take to go from fashion passé to fashion forward in a matter of seconds. Most women also do not know that they can actually pair high-end fashion lines such as Prada with every day consumer retail outlets such as Target, resulting in a highly fashionable wardrobe while not breaking the bank account. How is this possible? Thanks to Aisha Jones, her company not only inspires, but truly helps women achieve current fashionable looks while capitalizing what is currently in ones closest and offers a plethora of resources including educational membership programs, one-on-one consulting and much, much more.

“My main goal is not just to transform a women’s closet and but inspire confidence by helping women dress to impress,” said Aisha Jones, CEO and Wardrobe Strategist. “I have had the privilege of working with women in multiple industries and the results have been outstanding across the board.

Most importantly, this CEO believes in giving back and this is where the 100 Dresses Challenge comes into play. The goal of this non-profit campaign is to donate 100 dresses to the nonprofit organization Dress For Success. This Pretty Little Things campaign not only helps women when going to an interview, but the goal is to make deserving women feel beautiful. As of today, the Aisha Jones company only needs 77 dresses to meet this lofty goal.

Wardrobe Overhaul: How to Give Yourself a Much-Needed Style Update

organized closet

Fashion comes and goes, meaning we can buy more than ever and have styles from every era in our closet. If we aren’t making the most of what we own, however, and have things that are gathering dust and taking up space, then the only thing that you are doing is crowding out the items that you love, and not giving yourself the chance to be truly creative with your outfits or what you own. By giving yourself a wardrobe overhaul, you can become the stylish fashionista you have always wanted to be, but on your own terms.

Sort Through Everything You Own

Budget-friendly clothing means we can have massive wardrobes. Even a moderate wardrobe can be filled with things we don’t often wear or don’t care about. Some pieces might be too worn-out to wear; others might not even fit you. There is no reason to keep these pieces in your wardrobe. Instead, go through everything that you own and sort through it. There should be three piles, pieces that you like or often wear, pieces that are in good condition but you don’t want, and pieces that need to be discarded. Put everything you love and often wear back into your wardrobe, sell or donate the pile of clothes that are in good condition, and recycle the rest.

Tips on Designing a DIY Wardrobe Space

The better you can see your clothes and the better they are displayed, the better you will be able to value what you own and come up with creative and incredibly stylish outfits. If you don’t have the actual wardrobe space, go minimal. Pick up a clothing rail or make your own and make your clothes the work of art they deserve to be. Transform your closet space into a beautiful creation that you love to showcase to your friends and family. The better the space, the more fun you can have when getting dressed.

Budget Tips to Help You Curate the Ultimate Style on a Budget

Clearing out your wardrobe is a great first step, but chances are you will want to shop for more items as the years go on. Not only is it fun, but it also helps your wardrobe stay refreshed and inviting! The only issue is that with as many fast fashion brands as there are, it can be all too easy to want to choose the cheaper fashion pieces. The problem with doing this is that these items are very delicate, meaning they won’t last and can start to look crumpled after just a few wears. That is why opting to shop at a department store that has price match guarantee and financing options can be a lifesaver to your closet. Opt for the better-made garments, and enjoy them for as long as you want to, not for as long as they look good.

Every so often a wardrobe overhaul is needed, to ensure that you only keep the best and most versatile pieces in your home. Improve the design of the space itself, and improve the garments you add to it, and you can cultivate your own unique look that has a timeless appeal.

NAYALI is on a mission to celebrate women with feminine curves.

NAYALI collection

NAYALI collection

 

NAYALI Collection – The Fashion Industry is truly recognizing curvy and diverse women, but there is still a way to go. Women are demanding representation of all sizes, shapes, and ethnicities. So why are we still offering limited options for busty women when it comes to streetwear, swimwear and activewear?

Introducing NAYALI, meaning feminine courage. NAYALI is on a mission to celebrate women with feminine curves.

After nearly 12+ years of designing and building brands that include Athleta, Manduka, Splits59, & 2XU, Shilpa Rajpara identified a significant gap in the market. No brands were serving the 60 million+ women (in the U.S. alone) who are sizes 0-16 (XS-XL) with a cup size of D-Cup & Up.

As a triathlete and as a size medium/32G, Shilpa could identify with the countless stories she heard from other D-Cup & Up active women who have had nip slips, breasts popping out during a workout, issues wearing 2-3 sports bras at a time, pain from straps, or having to literally hold their chest while exercising.

The collection, has thoughtful design and details that flatter larger chested women while providing adjust-ability, support, and coverage in all the right places.

NAYALI, is a women’s premium athleisure label for those who value luxury, independence, & an active lifestyle.

The collection encompases active, swim, and leisurewear specifically focused on active women (sizes XS-XL) with a fuller bust (D-Cup to G-Cup).

NAYALI designs with “your girls” in mind. Swim, Sweat, or Street, D-Cup & Up, we’ve got you covered.™

Veroniqué Salagean, one of the UK’s most forward thinking and innovative Designers has fused traditional head-wear with cutting-edge fashion, showcasing the latest design range from the exclusive London based label, ‘VS Turbans‘.

Creating the most unique luxury turbans for the discerning woman, ‘VS Turbans’ have established a leading name in elegant statement head wear. Since the label’s inception in 2015, founder and Turban Designer Veroniqué Salagean has been creating exquisite hand-made Turban masterpieces, for clients across the globe.

Veroniqué commented: “Designing Turbans which really symbolize the beauty and uniqueness of the wearer has always been my passion. From age 6 I learned how to sew creating doll’s clothes from swatches. By 21, I was draping and crafting something to be proud of, from materials such as pure silk, cotton, lace and beaded fabric. Since opening the doors of VS Turbans in London, I feel I’ve found my calling in life and provide my international clients with a way to incorporate Turbans into the very essence of their daily style.”

Celebrities such as Beyoncé, Tracee Ellis Ross and Moza bint Nasser have been seen wearing the turban making it an iconic fashion statement that is modern and wearable.

Veroniqué continued: “Each Turban is designed and crafted with the clients wishes at its core – incorporating any material, and colour scheme and any detailing, all combining to create an exclusive and visually breath-taking style statement to treasure. I get inspired from images that translate sophistication and the unexplainable placed together. My collection offers luxury turbans that range from simple drapes to the most extravagant, styles that are beaded in mirror crystals or an effortless drape in raffia or leather.”

Veroniqué has mastered endless ways to drape a turban. She envisions first obsessively for two days than designs each turban that gets formed from silence, feelings and shapes to define the 4 words provided by her client.

‘VS Turbans‘ is an exclusive head-wear brand which specializes in Luxury Turbans to be worn as a defined fashion statement. Offering stylish designs which exude strength, beauty and individuality, the brand is based in London and offers bespoke designs, handmade by founder and Turban Designer Veroniqué Salagean.

Beth Sobol will bring awareness to the tech company’s new .FASHION domain extension and educate fashion insiders on new branding opportunities.

Minds + Machines Limited (London Stock Exchange: MMX) today announced that it has signed fashion expert and entrepreneur Beth Sobol, as the company’s Global Brand Ambassador. In this newly established role, Sobol will share her expert insights to help start-up fashion brands grow their business, expand MMX’s consumer following, and inspire industry partners.

“We are very excited that Beth has joined MMX as our Global Brand Ambassador. Her proven track record in the fashion industry as the founder of Miami Fashion Week and the upcoming Future of Xperience fashion and retail technology conference make her a powerful spokeswoman for .FASHION domains.” Solomon Amoako, Vice President of Channel Strategy at MMX explains. “Beth’s extensive network in the fashion and technology sectors make her the perfect voice to carry our message of new branding opportunities to the fashion elite”.

Launched in 2015, .FASHION is already in use by Louis Vuitton, Calvin Klein and Nike. .FASHION will change the way consumers search for clothing, accessories, bloggers and any fashion related business. “Creative domain extensions give startups and small businesses better, shorter options for naming their brands,” said Sobol. “In the future, these new extensions will be ubiquitous.”

Minds + Machines Limited launched .FASHION domains in 2015 and the domain has been secured and in use by major brands (louisvuitton.fashion, calvinklein.fashion, nike.fashion), fashion blogs & publishers (theindustry.fashion, techstyler.fashion, nyu.fashion), aspiring designers (mila.fashion, damur.fashion, dam.fashion) and fashion entrepreneurs (cala.fashion, assemblelab.fashion, lucylondon.fashion).
