3 “kies” you didn’t know about

The 3 "kies" you didn’t know you need

by Evangelique Adams

I am so sure you are reading the title heading thinking, what is "kies" and why do I need it?

Well, I had the beautiful privilege of meeting this phenomenal woman Luré Delport at a wellness fundraiser this year. As a speaker to the event, she held the most unique segment I have ever witnessed. Luré is a teacher, model and one of her greatest passions an image consultant. Luré fills a room with laughter and positivity with her creative eye on style and fashion.

Finally, we get into the 3 "kies", what is it you ask? Don’t laugh too much when you read this, it is as basic as can be, but the gold to every clothing item you own and will now buy moving forward. Drumroll, please...

Takkies (sneakers or tennis shoes) Hakkies (heels) plakkies (flip-flop)

How could this advice change my look on choosing clothing?

Luré says that every item you own should be able to be styled with takkies for the runaround or the casual look, hakkies for work or your date night, and lastly plakkies for the smart casual feel we so all desire. As a mother, I suppose we can go through all 3 in one day. How easy would it be if we approached our busy schedules with no stress about what to wear and still look and feel good? We can do school runs in our takkies, throw on our heels for business, and pop on our plakkies for some catchup dates with friends all in one outfit.
