Tip on choosing shape of a waistcoat

I have had a long waistcoat before, but never wore it as it would visually cut my body in half. So when I spotted this one I knew it will work as it has an upside down V. It’s like a half tuck build in. Also the original waistcoat had brownish buttons which would limit outfit options,  so as per usual I have changed buttons, so they match the fabric colour. Don’t be scared to adapt clothes to fit your needs.

Stripes for spring

One of the main trends for SS25 are stripes. It is one of the most versatile patterns available.  Whether they are vertical or horizontal, one can find something that suits them.

I happened to have 2 stripy sweaters and one cardigan. I reserve thinner stripes for bigger garments and thicker for smaller one. That way stripes do not overwhelm the outfit. Since pastels suit me I gravitate towards them during spring/ summer months.
