fter last month’s passionate championing of the good old jumpsuit, and mild disdain of my usual fashion choice which I am so ironically contending for this month, Missguided have come out with a widely talked about “jeans and a nice top” section on their website, and so I quickly became inspired by my once go-to but recently rejected combo. The new section came after a fellow shopper tweeted Missguided with a request for said option; the store replying with a simple ‘noted’ before launching it only two weeks later. Not all heroes wear capes! The launch was received with an overwhelming response from girls and women everywhere, and since then, unsurprisingly, several online retailers have followed suit Even (ASOS, we’re waiting on you our male now).

As I navigate my mid-twenties, I realise that mini dresses don’t fill me with joy like they used to. Even though they’re perfectly apt for the Dusk scene, I feel like the older you get, the more you can get away with, and the more casual you can dress on a Friday night. Certain types of dresses are only really appropriate for out-out nights, whereas a more dressed down look can often transcend any occasion; perfect for a civilised glass of wine on the Chatham Counterguard strip, and perfect for the dancefloor too. It’s a win-win situation! These days, my usual go-to is jeans and an okay-ish top; I wouldn’t even stretch it to nice, to be quite honest. I’m just not a pretty blouse kinda gal; I find it so much easier and more natural to buy casual tees or shirts. This year, however, I’m determined to invest in a few pieces that will succeed in taking my outfit from casual afternoon coffee at OV, to some evening beverages at Vinopolis (keeping all dancefloor-related eventualities at the back of one’s mind, of course).

One of my favourite styles, without a doubt, is a high neck piece. High necks are so incredibly flattering and elegant, and have the ability to give any outfit a touch of much needed glam without any effort whatsoever. I find wrap over blouses have that same effect; they are easy and uncomplicated options that are pretty simple to style too. Although I’ve never personally gone down the bodysuit route, 73
