It’s been a while since the majority of us have had a reason to dress up. Most of us have been dedicated to our loungewear for the better part of a year. Now that the world is starting to open up again, many are questioning what to wear.
Some may be reluctant to jump back into their ‘before’ clothes. You might feel like you aren’t ready to part with stretchy waistbands and oversized comfies just yet. You might be craving a style shakeup, but you’re not sure where to start. You might be looking into your wardrobe for inspiration but not finding any. We know how daunting the new normal can be.
With this in mind, the team here have come together and picked our favourite pieces from the M&B Woman Collection. Each piece reflects the team’s individual style, and we hope it gives you some inspiration for dressing post-Covid.
One and Done
We love a good dress! A dress is great for the days when you want to wear a no-fuss stylish outfit. Emma, Furniture Buyer, has selected the Minnie-Oriella Dress as her pick of the collection.
“I love how versatile and fun this dress is. I would style it with heels for a work look and dress it down with runners for an everyday look. My favourite thing about this dress is how flattering it is. The synched waist structures this dress, creating a beautiful silhouette. You also can’t go wrong with midi length”.
Head Buyer Joanna also chose a dress, but in a very different style. “I love the Carla Dress. After months of being in casual clothes, I can’t wait to get dressed up again! I’m going to add some heels and jewellery to this”.
Wardrobe Essential
Aisling, our Admin Assistant loves the Gunilla Leather Jacket. “A leather jacket is a must-have! They are so versatile and can be worn all year round. It’s a great addition to your outfit whether you need a formal or informal look”.
A leather jacket is one of the most versatile pieces you can own. They can be styled in so many different ways and will get you out of those fashion jams we all find ourselves in from time to time.
Not Skirting Around
Kitchen, Candles & Beauty Buyer Julie, is practical, stylish and wears clothes that fit into her life. A common fashion mistake is wearing something that is trendy instead of clothes you like and feel comfortable wearing.
“As a busy working mom, I need clothes that are quick and easy to style in the morning. I don’t want to have to think too hard, but I also want to look good.
I love this skirt because it’s easy to dress up or down. Pair it with runners for a busy day at the office, or dress it up with heels for dinner. This skirt would look as cute with a chunky knit as it does with a simple t-shirt. I’ll certainly be getting many many wears from this lovely piece”.
Easy to Wear Staple
Oversized, fitted, cropped, print, colourful, plain…jumpers come in so many styles that adding one or two new ones to your wardrobe each year will really shake it up. There are so many styling options for jumpers – wear them with jeans and pumps, tucked into a skirt, over a dress with boots. You really can’t go wrong. Two team members choose jumpers as their favourite piece.
Lucy, Irish Makers Buyer, loves how “soft, warm and vibrant” this jumper is. Contrasting colours are huge right now, especially in jumpers. We think this trend will carry through to the next seasons. This one would look amazing styled with black jeans, boots and a leather jacket.
In contrast to this statement piece, Brand Manager Liana went with this super stylish and simple Batwing Jumper in Pink.
“My favourite piece from the collection is this batwing jumper. I choose this because it is bright, summery, comfortable and easy to wear. I have this jumper and wear it all the time”!
Separates for all Seasons
While a dress is great for those easy to wear days, sometimes separates are just what you need. Fiona, Digital Marketing Specialist, loves these super stylish trousers.
“I love anything high waisted with a cropped leg. I think these trousers look really chic and you could wear them on any occasion. The best thing about these trousers is how versatile they are. You can style them for every season”.
All of the pieces featured are available to buy online & in-store.
Nice post! I really enjoyed reading it and found it very interesting. Thanks and keep writing.
