Our Wardrobe Challenge comp may be over, but now we can begin to put these key learnings into practise. Read our Fashion Secrets and see how to wear the EziBuy brands as part of your new fashion-forward wardrobe!
Making your wardrobe work from season to season.
Once you've got your wardrobe essentials sorted, you've got great base pieces you can mix and match the more seasonal fashion pieces with. Instead of buying a completely new wardrobe every season, simply re-evaluate your wardrobe and decide which pieces you feel you can still wear. Tick off which pieces they are, then 'replace' the pieces you've discarded with the newer, more modern version - an altogether less daunting prospect! Fashion should be enjoyable, not a terrifying 'task' and once you put 'method' into it, it can actually become quite fun.

CAPTURE
There's lots of great colour in the Capture collection, so use as much as possible. One point to consider, is when you have a lot of colour in the upper body, it's better to tone down the colour with a neutral base so you don't look too 'carnival' like.
For something new, try putting similar tones together, for example, greens/blues, or reds/pink/oranges but always back to a stone, or khaki base (or white/black/navy). You can also add some colour with jewellery, again working with similar tones or use the jewellery to add back the neutrals (eg wooden bangles / necklaces).
Casual pants can be worn long or rolled for a variation in the look. Why not try a rolled pant with a heel for a more fashion-forward smart casual look.
A heel is great for some social gatherings or perhaps to dress up a work outfit, but a well chosen flat can look just as polished as a heel for everyday wear.
To inject your own individuality to your outfits, add a great watch and layer with bangles. Add texture with jewellery; tie a scarf to your handbag. Also, a print scarf can add some 'polish' and interest. Also try different sunglasses for different looks.

Your look is more sophisticated with Grace Hill. Even on your casual days, your outfits are more 'considered'. Use accessories to stamp your own individuality to your outfits. Scarves, necklaces, a great shoe all add to a more complete polished look.
Accessorise with 'quality' pieces that you already own and can wear with anything, such as a little diamond pendant, a great watch etc.
For the evening look - add something pretty and sparkly such as a little diamante drop earring or tennis bracelet for example. A pretty bejewelled shoe is also a great addition. |

Small changes can take you from desk to dinner. Swap out your flats for a heel; change your leather tote for a sparkly clutch, add evening jewellery - clustered sparkle/pearl/chain necklaces or a great jewelled ring and you're ready to hit the town.
The Emerge collection has some great simple fashion forward pieces to work with, so be experimental with shapes. There are also many versatile pieces that can be dressed up or dressed down - for example, a boyfriend blazer with the sleeves pushed up over a tank and cropped pant works in a casual fashion for day. But add a heel and different jewellery and it becomes a more dressy look for the evening.
Add your own flair to your fashion forward outfits and keep it current through crucial 'bits' that change the look - the right bag, the latest accessories, a scarf etc that the latest celebs have been spotted with. |

URBAN
The Urban collection is all about casual chic. To accessorise, add a selection of fine silver or gold bangles in multiples and intersperse these with small beads or wooden bangles to get achieve that fashionable slightly ethnic feel.
A big tan tote or satchel style bag would work well across these casual looks, or try a fringed tan suede bag. If you're wearing gladiator type sandals, a studded bag or belt would be a great addition to your outfit. a relaxed charm. Go for a natural straw with perhaps a neutral coloured band.
Long wooden or metal necklaces would also work well as would a charm on a chain mixed with other necklaces.
And for when you wear heels, select one that works back with the same casual Urban pieces you would wear in the day but the heel will make your casual look somewhat 'dressier'. |

SARA
The Sara collection offers lots of great colour, so use it as much as possible - stray from the safe black option, particularly in the warmer months. One point to consider is that when you have a lot of colour in the upper body, it's better to tone down the colour with a neutral base so you don't look too 'carnival' like.
Some tips to elongate and narrow the silhouette -
- Lengthen the leg line by wearing heel where possible.
- Keep your pant length longer than the ankle, perhaps a centimetre shorter than the heel of your shoe.
- With jeans, it's good to have one pair you always keep for work or dressier occasions that you specifically wear with a heel and another you keep for casual that you wear with flats that are shorter.
- A darker outer layer will narrow the torso eg a dark longer cardigan or jacket.
- Long dresses that are slightly empire lined hide all manner of sins!
- A high neckline is rarely flattering. Choose a v-neck or scoop neck as this is more flattering.
- Patterns are always flattering and are great for layering eg, print dress/top with plain jacket, cardi over the tops.
