Five Statement Pieces You Need Now – When it comes to updating our wardrobes, we tend to stick with what we know. Found the holy grail of business pants? Buy it in all five colors. Managed to discover the perfect fitted top for a night out? Better buy a back-up just in case the first one gets overworn. Shopping for a new dress for a special occasion? We’ll just go with a style or silhouette that we know will fit us well and that we’ll probably wear again.
But – what about making a statement? Although the everyday basics are an integral part of your wardrobe, there’s just something a little special and exciting about having a few statement pieces in your arsenal to break out when you need it. Whether it’s a boring day at the office that you want to jazz up or a night out where you really want to stun, slipping on a statement piece is the perfect way to level up both your look and your confidence.
With so many statement-making options out there, it’s often difficult to figure out which are worth the investment, both time and money. We totally understand this dilemma and we’re here to help.
