Winter might be ending soon, but the nip in the air is still making it the perfect weather to adorn some cool bright jumpers in style. In particular, I am an avid fan of jumpers, because they are one of the most versatile pieces to style, and can easily be dressed up or down to suit the occasion. This winter, I decided to push the boundaries and play around with some fun and new ways to style a jumper.
The first look is not as much about how you style the jumper as it is about what type of jumper you select. In gloomy weather, it is instinctive to turn to a darker palette of navy blue, black and grey, but I urge you to try something different – perhaps, a pop of colour to brighten up the day? For this look, I brightened up good old jeans and black t-shirt combination with a vibrant yellow jumper from SheIn.
The chunky, oversized style of the jumper gave the ensemble an effortlessly stylish feel, and I finished it off with a bright pink scarf to cut through the yellow and tie the look together. The rest of my look – shoes, accessories and makeup – was kept purposefully simple. I wanted the colour palette to do the talking. And it did.

For my second look, I started to think about how I might incorporate a summer staple into a winter ensemble – layering was my answer! I threw on one of my favourite summer dresses – a beautiful yellow piece with a gorgeous floral print – over a pair of trusty blue jeans. But there was no way I could step out onto the street with my arms bare in this freezing weather!
And so, I slipped into a cosy jumper, which finished off the look in style. I deliberately chose a more muted maroon shade with a very simple pattern, so that the jumper would not clash with the summer dress I was sporting below it. Not only does this look make a great style statement; it also enables you to mix and match for new outfits, without breaking the bank.

If colours are not your cup of tea, that’s completely alright. You can still sport a neutral, even monochrome, outfit without looking boring. The trick is to play around with textures.
For my final look, I chose a grey colour palette – but wanted to create a look that was still exciting, with the jumper as the star attraction. So I opted for a grey jumper with a bold start print and paired it with a textured skirt, sheer stockings, a grey felt hat and my trusty booties.
Although most of the items were grey, their different shades and textures gave the outfit some extra oomph. I love a good pop of colour so I finished the look off with a vibrant handbag, but you could easily sport a chic leather bucket bag or tote instead.

The next time you wear a jumper, think of it as a central part of your outfit rather than something that is obscuring it. Play around with prints, colours, sizes and textures – the possibilities are endless!
You can go for so many trends from bohemian to sporty chic. For me, spring is one of the fav. Seasons and experimenting with colours. Last weekend, on a day out I opted for a blue fringe trim tribal jacket with embroidered tape from Shein.com. I have styled this jacket with a dark t-shirt, chunky boho necklace and distressed crop jeans.
I was really happy with the bold and beautiful look created by Aarti Kumar. Aarti is a vibrant and talented makeup artist based in London who loves to play around and create unique looks for her clients. She specialises in Bridal makeup and enjoys experimenting with new products and techniques. The first look she created focused on the glitter red lips. I was looking for a playful red tint to match my embellished skirt and crop top. For the second outfit, I wanted a fierce and feisty look, hence, the golden eye shadow and the funky lines on the eyes. The makeup made me look like a lioness and the sleek high ponytail made the whole look more intense.
For instance – You can either pair a skater white dress with a black leather jacket and open toe boots for an edgy look or pair it with tan accessories like a belt and wedges for a casual look. Rock the effortless look at picnic in the park by throwing on a colorful scarf and sandals. If you are not big on accessories like bracelets and earrings then just add a pop of color by carrying a vibrant colored clutch and break the monotony.
It’s a fit ‘n’ flare dress with a pleated skirt and a cross over back. This piece is a classic with a light floral design. It is one of the most versatile outfits in my closet. I styled this outfit with a navy bag, black strappy heels and metallic jewelry. Gold or silver jewelry looks subtle and chic on a white dress. I wanted an elegant look so I lightly curled my hair and applied natural makeup and just focused on adding some color to the outfit with a bright lipstick.
A coffee date is a safe option for a first date or a date where you want to get to know the person in a casual and comfortable setting. Unlike dancing or going for a movie, a coffee date helps you to really get to know the person and stimulates conversation.
Autumn is a season of colors. Add a pop of color in your outfit for a chic look. If you are going for an oversized top or jacket then you can team it up with body hugging skinny jeans.
You can layer up a dark tshirt with an oversized knit cardigan. Love the fact that this cardigan has tasselled edges and a beautiful draping in a flecked, stripe-detail yarn, combined . With skinny jeans and the right accessorizes like a cap, and structured bag or high heels you can add the much desired oomph to the outfit without being too over the top.
If you’re heading to work, you can switch up the blouse with a crisp white shirt instead – a classic staple piece that will never go out of style. When the weather is cooler, I love to toughen up my outfit by pairing feminine skirts with a bold leather jacket. So much oomph.
I even pushed my hairs into a ponytail to make sure they looked sleek.
