You want one bold truth that I live by? You don’t need to follow every trend. You just need to understand your style, your shape, and your lifestyle.

Over this series, I’ll show you how to blend what’s “now” with what’s you. Let’s create a wardrobe you’ll love year after year.

The Puff Sleeve

TRENDY: Oversized puff sleeves — dramatic and bold (but not always wearable).

TIMELESS: A crisp, well-fitted blouse that flatters your shoulders and waistline and can be worn tucked in or loose.

My take: If you love drama (like myself sometimes), go puff sleeve in a structured fabric and neutral colour — it balances edge with longevity.

Save the trend for a statement piece, not your entire wardrobe.

The Colour Trend Trap

TRENDY: Neon pink, dopamine brights, and statement colours dominate the feed.

TIMELESS: Muted, flattering tones that complement your skin tone and mix easily and will always come back in fashion.

The fix: Try trend colours as accents — a scarf, heel, or nail polish. Your core wardrobe should reflect you, not the runway. Pastels are also a brilliant addition to the wardrobe if you're afraid to work with colours or patterns too soon!

The Shoe Story

TRENDY: Crocs — fun, bold, and fleeting.

TIMELESS: Classic loafers or low-profile sneakers in quality leather.

Style tip: If it makes that specific outfit pop, it’s probably a trend. Stick with shoes that feel good and look sharp.

Being timeless doesn’t mean being boring.

It means building a wardrobe that supports your lifestyle, flatters your body, and reflects who you are — year after year.
