Fashion Trends, WardrobeBy Imogen LamportMay 22, 201514 Comments

What is this? A garment that suits everyone? Well it’s true. I think I’ve found it and it’s the kimono duster. Recently I’ve seen a plethora of kimono style or duster style jackets in stores. I think they are a brilliant item for your wardrobe as they are easy to wear for every body shape,…

Fashion Trends: 7 Ways to Style Culottes

Fashion Trends, OutfitsBy Imogen LamportMay 12, 201516 Comments

One of the trends that has appeared in stores in the past season or so is the culotte. Now I remember wearing these in my teen years and I wasn’t that keen to try on another pair as sometimes in fashion you can feel like “been there, done that trend and not going back”. When…

How to Style Jogger Pants

Fashion Trends, Reader Questions, WardrobeBy Imogen LamportMay 7, 20155 Comments

Hi Imogen, Jogger style pants are my faves right now. I had a few pairs for Summer and lived in them. What I would like are some ideas for styling them for Winter. Shoes are my particular nightmare. I only wear flats and prefer something good for my feet, so ballet flats are out. Looking…

Colour, Fashion Trends, Wearing ColourBy Imogen LamportDecember 30, 201410 Comments

The Pantone colour forecast for Spring 2015 (first half of 2015) is a muted palette in general. It’s good as in general, there are more people who need more subtlety to the colours that suit, than those who are after the brights. We’ve just had a couple of years where there have been way more…

7 Top Tips to What Dates and What Becomes Timeless

Fabric, Fashion Trends, More, Prints and PatternsBy Imogen LamportNovember 17, 201421 Comments

After a recent discussion with the Evolve Your Style group members, when deciding what to keep and what to throw out (because it is dated), I was asked about what is dated and what becomes timeless. I thought I’d ask one of our group members and recent Stylish Thoughts contributor Lisa White share her thoughts…

how to wear cropped tops

How to Wear a Cropped Top or Sweater (Jumper)

Body Variations, Fashion Trends, Reader QuestionsBy Imogen LamportNovember 12, 20145 Comments

Hi. I’ve been reading your blog and found it amazingly helpful! Can you give me some tips for wearing crop shirts? Certainly, they can make your legs look longer. But I’ve seen people wearing them, and sometimes their legs looked rather short because the short tops only emphasized their bottoms. I see the difference, but…

Spring 2015 Pantone Colour Trends

Colour, Fashion TrendsBy Imogen LamportSeptember 10, 20148 Comments

  The Pantone Spring 2015 colours are softer than they have been in awhile. There are some soft warm colours that work really well with our Intriguing swatch and some cooler that relate to our Sublime and Serene Swatches. So after our recent seasons of very bold bright colours, it’s great that those with smokier…

Fabric, Fashion Trends, Reader Questions, Style TipsBy Imogen LamportMarch 14, 201410 Comments

Hi Imogen-I really enjoy your blog & have learned a lot! My question-are ‘metallic’ accessories (handbag, shoes) considered to go with a certain season or can they be worn all year? I really appreciate your thoughts on this-thank you. I love metallic accessories to add some interest and dress up an outfit.  Anything with a…

Holding Out for a Better Day

Fashion Trends, Personal StyleBy Imogen LamportMarch 4, 20136 Comments

One of the things that you may have found, if you participated in the FABruary Style Challenge, was that you wore some of your best clothes, even if it wasn’t a day that you’d normally dress up in that way. So many people keep their ‘good’ clothes for another day. The day that is important…

I spend quite a bit of time out shopping with clients and so I notice what the major trends the stores are showing, rather than just what the magazines tell us we’ll see. So I took some quick photos with my phone and thought I’d share a few of these Summer 2012/2013 fashion trends with…

When is it Time to Let Go of the Trends You Love?

Fashion Trends, Style TipsBy Imogen LamportNovember 2, 20122 Comments

Imogen, I’ve just thought of an issue I don’t think I’ve seen addressed. I’ve always been a person who picks and chooses what trends to follow, and these days there’s generally enough going on that it’s easy to embrace the trends I like and ignore the rest. But what happens when a trend you’ve really…
