Although it’s easy to make a habit of shopping based on ‘what’s in’, this isn’t always a good idea.
Buying according to trends can incur debts pretty quickly and just because a piece is fashion forward doesn’t mean it will suit all body shapes.
Investment pieces in contrast, actually stand the test of time.
Each week we aim to introduce a new piece for your wardrobe and provide three options from where to buy, catering for all budgets.
Save – €55, at River Island
Floral print is big news for spring summer 2014 and this jumpsuit is the perfect way to channel the trend. Wear it with tan sandals for a casual laid-back look or dress it up with wedges or heels to head out at night. The floral trend makes an appearance practically every season so this is one buy that will last the distance.
Splurge – €84, at Warehouse
Bright blue is a statement colour and if you’re bored of wearing dresses then the jumpsuit is a great option. This three quarter length one is best kept for when you need the perfect outfit for a special occasion. It’s on trend for this season and the bold tone is guaranteed to get you noticed, for all the right reasons that is!
Splurge – Parker, €513 at Harvey Nichols
This is gorgeous. It’s an elegant cut but the low dip at the front and sequinned embellishment mean it’s perfect for night wear. It’s expensive but you will have it years and like an LBD, it’s a piece you can rely on to stand the style test of time. When spending on style, well cut tailored items in neutral shades are best and this is one buy we definitely recommend!
