Ladylike Dressing

The ladylike silhouette I'm loving

For years, I’ve channelled a more masculine look of oversized blazers, relaxed trousers and chunky loafers. But I’m noticing a shift, and am ready to embrace a more feminine silhouette

Recent images of Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber leaving an LA restaurant in sheer tights, fitted blazers, and miniskirts (styled by celebrity stylist Dani Michelle) got me excited to try a new look.

I get asked a lot about what to wear for a night out. Jeans and an oversized blazer have been my failsafe look for a while now, but it’s time to change it up. Last year, I moved towards a fitted blazer with my Frankie Shop Blazer, but I was still styling it with baggy jeans. Now, I’m ready to fully embrace a sleeker, more ladylike mood and will be teaming my blazer with sheer tights and a mini skirt to elevate my look for my next night out.

To elevate your wardrobe towards a more ladylike look, think fitted blazers, mini skirts or dresses, sheer tights, simple pumps and top-handle bags.

Calvin Klein Collection

The recent Calvin Klein runway show nodded to 90s tailoring, featuring knee-length pencil skirts and collarless jackets, and had an overall refreshing, sharper silhouette.
