What to Wear for a Zoom Interview: A Complete Guide



Remember when the world flipped like a pancake, all thanks to COVID? Gone were the days of squishing into subway cars, beating the queue at the coffee machine in the office kitchen, or jostling for the last free chair in a crowded meeting room. The hustle and bustle of office life seemingly vanished overnight. Instead, our lives were abruptly condensed into tiny pixelated squares on Zoom.

The most shocking part? With this new "normal" came an unexpected dress code. Business suits and polished shoes were tossed aside, replaced by half-up fashion where the top says "corporate chic," and the bottom screams "lazy Sunday.'' And this brings us to the truth: The line between formal office wear and cosy house clothes became as blurred as our virtual backgrounds! 

But here's the thing, even in a virtual setting, your attire sends a powerful message about your professionalism. Dressing appropriately demonstrates respect for your colleagues, the interviewer, and the company. Our advice? Ditch the "just-rolled-out-of-bed" PJs and throw-on blazer combo! Instead, opt for a professional-looking ensemble that'll make a positive impression and set the tone for your virtual tête-à-tête!

In this guide, we're going to dish out some killer tips to help you nail your Zoom interview look and set the stage right from the get-go.

Professional Dressing Tips for Zoom Interviews

Featuring Our Fresia Dress - Zebra Print

Just because your interviewer can't smell your freshly brewed morning coffee or see the adorable cat trying to climb onto your keyboard, it doesn't mean you're off the hook when it comes to looking sharp. 

The first step to nailing your Zoom look? Research the company! Is it a laid-back tech startup with bean bag chairs and weekly jam sessions, or a buttoned-up corporate giant that practically breathes formality? You'd be surprised how much company culture can influence the expected dress code. If your dream job lies in the world of tech startups, you might want to opt for smart casual attire like our Fresia Dress. But if it's a corporate role you're eyeing, dust off that suit hanging in your closet. It's showtime!

Next, it's time to fixate on those fine details. Don't let wrinkles, stains, or ill-fitting clothes sabotage your interview. Give your attire a camera test, too, because your beloved shirt might not play nice with the lens or against the Zoom background you have chosen.

Lastly, think of your outfit as a visual representation of your role. Going for a creative gig? Let your ensemble show a glimpse of your creative genius. Aiming for a management spot? Dress like a boss! Remember, balance is key!

Unsure of how to style up? Here’s an expert round-up of tips for tops, bottoms, footwear, and more!

Tops

Featuring Our Becka Top

Think of your top as the star of your Zoom interview - because it's what the interviewer will see most. Don't reach for that tattered old tee - this is your chance to show off your professional yet chic taste! Whether it's a crisp shirt or a neat blouse, make sure it's in great condition and gives off a professional vibe.

While we're all for showing your personality through your choice of top, be wary of colours that could distract from your professional mojo. Opt for hues that complement your skin tone and subtly enhance your appearance without screaming for attention. You can also look for patterned ones like our Becka Top that will give you a pop of personality without being too loud.

Additionally, remember to reach for fabrics that are quiet, camera-friendly, and that keep you comfortable throughout your interview. You see, shiny and patterned fabrics can come off as dizzying on screen, and let's not even get started on how noisy some materials can be! 

Bottoms

Featuring Our Jessica Pant - Navy

Your choice of pants or skirt is as crucial as your top. Although it's tempting to wear your comfy PJs, opt for a more professional option, like a pair of tailored pants like our Jessica Pant or a smart skirt. Remember, dressing fully helps you get in the right mindset! Additionally, an ill-fitting or awkwardly long piece can hamper your comfort and affect your overall performance.

While it might not be visible, ensure your bottom matches your top. This keeps you prepared for unexpected incidents (like having to stand up during the interview) and helps you feel more confident and put together.

Footwear

Featuring Our Gerry Pants - Black

Believe it or not, shoes play a part in how we carry ourselves - even in a virtual interview. So, swap out those comfy bunny slippers for something a tad more professional. Trust us - a comfortable yet formal pair of shoes can subtly boost your confidence and keep you grounded.

While your interviewer might not see them, you should still aim for coherence. So, ensure your shoes match the colour of your pants. For instance, if you're wearing a Gerry Pant in Black, opt for black-toned shoes.

Avoid click-clacking around your room in noisy heels or distracting footwear. Your focus should be on the conversation rather than managing your rebellious shoes. Go for footwear that's stylish, professional, silent and distraction-free.

If you're a high-heel lover, keep a few things in mind. Firstly, ensure you're comfortable with them. An interview isn't the time to break in your new heels. Secondly, pick a pair that's noiseless and won't have you tap-dancing during the interview.

Makeup and Hair

Yes, these, too, play an essential role in your overall presentation and confidence during a Zoom interview. Here's what to keep in mind:

Keeping Your Makeup Natural

Go for the natural, minimalistic look. A light foundation, a smidge of mascara, and a dab of neutral lip colour keeps it professional. Remember, your credentials are the star, not your makeup!

Choosing a Hairstyle

A neat, professional hairstyle that complements your facial structure is key. Be it a slick ponytail, a chic bob, or stylishly arranged natural curls, ensure it doesn't distract from the conversation.

Being Mindful of Accessories

Statement earrings or flashy headbands might not be your best pick for a Zoom interview. Opt for subtle accessories like a simple stud pearl or a gold c-hoop that blends well with your overall look.

Featuring Our Drew Knit - Navy

Expert Tip: Unsure if blazers are too much? Consider wearing knits like our Drew Knit! They're comfortable, yet they can also come off as professional, making them a good combo with your simple hair and makeup!

Jewellery and Accessories

Just like your clothes, your jewellery should subtly accentuate your professional image without becoming the centre of attention. Small, classic pieces like a delicate necklace, stud earrings, or a sleek watch can add the right touch of sophistication. Remember, while you might love your chunky statement necklace or oversized hoop earrings, they might not be the best choice for a Zoom interview.

Also, steer clear of those that make noise or can be distracting. That lovely charm bracelet or those jingling earrings? They might be music to your ears, but they could be a noisy distraction for your interviewer. The same goes for accessories that reflect light or move a lot.


When you’re in doubt, a good rule of thumb is to choose one statement piece and keep everything else simple and understated. And once all is set, don’t forget to do a video check to see if everything works. 

Other Considerations

  • Dressing for the Camera Angle: Choose clothes that look good from the waist up. Remember, this is primarily visible on camera during a Zoom interview.
  • Creating a Professional Background: Ensure your background is neat and distraction-free. A plain, clean backdrop is often best.
  • Checking Your Outfit Before the Interview: Do a trial run to ensure your outfit looks professional on camera. Use this time to adjust lighting, camera angle, and background.
  • Avoiding Wardrobe Malfunctions: Make sure your clothes fit well and are comfortable to avoid any potential wardrobe mishaps. Double-check for any stray threads, missing buttons, or stains.

By considering these factors, you can ensure you're fully prepared for your virtual job interview and leave a lasting impression on your potential employer.

Dos and Don'ts for Zoom Interviews

In the world of virtual job interviews, the devil truly is in the details. It's not just about your answers to tricky interview questions anymore. Everything from your outfit to your background, even how your jewellery clinks when you move, can make or break your chances of landing that job. So, getting the basics and common blunders right is crucial!

Dos for a Zoom Interview:

  • Do dress professionally from head to toe. 
  • Do choose muted colours and simple patterns for your attire to maintain a professional look.
  • Do check your tech setup, including camera, microphone, and internet connection before the interview.
  • Do create a clean and distraction-free background.
  • Do practise good posture. Sit up straight and look directly into the camera when speaking.

Don'ts for a Zoom Interview:

  • Don't wear noisy jewellery or accessories that can distract you or the interviewer.
  • Don't ignore the bottom part of your outfit. You never know when you might have to stand up.
  • Don't have a busy or unprofessional background that could distract the interviewer.
  • Don't keep your phone unmuted. Silence all potential interruptions before the interview starts.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

While it’s true that your home office is now your stage, it doesn’t mean it’s the time for casual ‘fits all the time! If you want to get your dream job and impress your employers, the best thing to do is to dress to match the aspirations of the role you're after! As a wrap-up, here are some things you must watch out for…

  • Treating Zoom interviews like a PJ party - Remember, just because you're cosy at home doesn't mean your interview isn't as serious as the traditional ones.
  • Sparkling brighter than a chandelier - A couple of understated pieces will do the trick without distracting your interviewer from your shining skills and experiences.
  • Serving ceiling views instead of interview vibes - Position your camera at eye level to ensure you're the focus, not the artwork or your ceiling. 
  • Introducing your interviewer to your laundry pile - A cluttered background can be more distracting than you think and might send the wrong message about your organisational skills.
  • Using your Zoom interview as a beauty vlog audition - While it can be tempting to showcase your makeup skills, it's best to keep your look simple and natural so that it won’t draw the focus away from the insightful points you're making.

And there we have our comprehensive guide to nailing your next Zoom interview! As we learned here, your approach to dressing for a virtual job interview could make or break the deal. Although simple, your outfit, makeup, and accessories all contribute to creating a powerful first impression! It reflects your professionalism, attention to detail, and, most importantly, your respect for the opportunity.

As we always say here at Freez, your attire speaks volumes before you utter a single word! And it's safe to say that professional attire is the language that resonates with every employer, irrespective of the industry or the mode of interview.

Choosing the Right Shoes for Wide Leg Pants

The trend of wide leg pants has taken the fashion world by storm, providing a stylish and comfortable alternative to traditional fitted pants. As wide leg pants continue to gain popularity, it becomes essential to understand the importance of selecting the right shoes to complement this trendy attire. 

Understanding Wide Leg Pants

Featuring Our Brooklyn Pants - Black

Wide leg pants are usually characterised by their loose and flowing silhouette, providing a relaxed and elegant style. From palazzo pants to culottes, there is a wide array of options to suit various body types and preferences. 

Our Brooklyn pants provide a stylish and modern take on the classic wide leg style with its flattering fit, making it perfect for all body shapes and sizes. The side slit and paperbag waistband also give it a unique and chic look that can be dressed up or down.

Matching Wide Leg Pants with Shoes

Featuring Our Palazzo Pant - Black

Wide leg pants are a chic fashion statement, and the perfect shoes can make all the difference in achieving your desired look. The basic rule of thumb is that wider pants need a shoe with more coverage and structure. Key factors to consider include material, heel style, and toe shape. 

For example, when wearing Palazzo pants, the key is to choose a shoe that has a slight heel and some structure, like an ankle boot with minimal detail or an Oxford. For the most polished look, opt for something in leather or suede.

Types of Shoes to Wear with Wide Leg Pants

Featuring Our Slinky Pant - Black

With so many shoe options available for wide leg pants, you’re sure to have just the right kicks already in your closet. Here’s a handy reference of what shoes will give you the look you’re after:

Sneakers

Sneakers offer a casual look that is both comfortable and stylish. The right pair of sneakers can add an edgy vibe to your outfit, while still keeping it laid-back and relaxed. 

Sandals

When choosing sandals to wear with wide leg pants, look for styles that are low or mid-height. This will help create balance between the top and bottom half and give that airy, fresh look of your outfit.

Flats

Flats come in many styles such as ballet flats, loafers and espadrilles. These are a great choice when your day calls for a lot of walking or time on your feet. When wearing wide leg pants with flats, make sure the pants hit your ankle or just above for the best look.

Mules

The slip-on style makes them easy to put on without having to fiddle with laces or buckles. They’re carefree while still looking polished and professional. Choose pointed-toe mules or open-back mules for a more tailored look.

Loafers

Loafers offer a classic, professional, and timeless look that can easily be dressed up or down. This makes them perfect for a day at the office or for that day-to-dinner transition. 

Ankle Boots

For an edgy street-style feel, opt for a pair of pointed-toe ankle boots with a low heel. To dress it up slightly, try wearing a pair of classic black leather ankle boots with stacked heels.

Heels

Heels add definition to the look and elongate your legs. Look for a heel that is neither too tall nor too thin; aim for one with a moderate height and width. This is the perfect choice for a night on the town.

Platforms

Platforms provide extra height and can make your legs look longer and leaner. Look for platforms with chunky heels or block heels that offers the best stability when walking.

Wedges

The wedge design provides the height of a heel without the discomfort associated with a skinny heels. Wear classic wedges with bold colour wide leg pants for an elegant look.

Matching Shoes with Specific Styles of Wide Leg Pants

Featuring Our Brooklyn Pants - White

Specific types of wide leg pants also work best with certain styles of shoes:

Palazzo Pants

The wider your pant leg is, the lower your heel should be. Low-block heels or wedge sandals will help balance out the wide shape of these pants and give you an elegant look that won't overpower them.

Culottes

With culottes, look for styles that are sleek and refined. Avoid clunky, chunky or overly bulky footwear as this can be too much in comparison to the breezy nature of the style. Try ankle boots, Mary Janes, sandals or loafers for a polished look.

High-Waisted Wide Leg Pants 

To achieve an elegant silhouette, try pairing high-waisted wide leg pants with heeled sandals or pumps. For a more casual look, opt for ankle boots or block-heel boots.

Cropped Wide Leg Pants

With cropped wide leg pants, choose shoes with a heel that hits just below the ankle bone. Sandals or espadrille wedges work well. For an even more casual look, opt for slip-on sneakers or flat sandals. 

Pleated Wide Leg Pants

For an elegant, classic look, opt for dressy pumps or heeled sandals in neutral colours such as black, brown or navy. If you want to make more of a statement, try bolder colours like red or green and pair them with open-toed booties or slip-on mules.

Colours and Materials

Featuring Our Peaced Out Pant - Cream/Leopard

Wide leg pants can come in a wide variety of materials and colours, so it’s important to choose the right shoes that will complement them. For lighter-coloured fabrics such as linen or cotton, look for shoes with light colours such as pastels or whites. With darker fabrics like wool or tweed, darker tones like navy blues and greys tend to work best.

If you have patterned pants, like our Peaced Out Pant with a leopard print, make sure to pick a solid colour shoe that will complement and not clash with your pants. Try a metallic gold or silver shoe for an extra bit of shimmer.

When selecting material for your shoes, keep in mind how formal you want your outfit to be. If you’re going for a more formal look, leather or suede shoes tend to work best. For a more casual look, canvas or rubber-soled sneakers can be great options.

Accessorising with Shoes

Aside from shoes, picking the right accessories can take any outfit to the next level.

Belts and Shoes

Choose a belt that complements the look and colour of your outfit, such as black or brown leather belts to match dark shoe colours like navy blue, charcoal grey or black. Or go for something brighter like red or yellow when matching light-coloured ensembles.

Jewellery and Shoes

Long earrings, necklaces and bracelets all work well to add a bit of sparkle to the outfit. When accessorising with shoes, check the buckles, straps and design details, as these can dress up the look. 

Bags and Shoes

When pairing bags and shoes with your wide leg pants, there's no hard-and-fast rule. The key is to dress for the occasion and your own personal style. For a more formal look, go with neutral colours like black or navy. If you're looking to have some fun with your outfit, try bold colours and patterns.

Occasions and Seasons

Additionally, different occasions and seasons require different kinds of shoes. 

Formal Occasions

If you’re wearing wide leg pants to a wedding or formal event, you may want to opt for dressy heels with an elegant design. The sleek lines of the shoes will help to elongate your legs and make them look more slender. 

Casual Occasions

Sneakers, sandals or ballet flats all make great choices for casual occasions such as going out with friends or running errands. Look for sneakers that are lightweight and breathable to keep your feet comfortable throughout the day.

Spring and Summer Seasons

Featuring Our Sicily Pant - Army

Sandals are a great option in the spring and summer months when temperatures rise. Opt for a classic two-strap style or something more daring like an ankle wrap. Pair our Sicily pants with a pair of metallic sandals for an effortlessly cool look.

Fall and Winter Seasons

Opting for high-heeled ankle boots is a fashionable choice that can be worn with virtually any style of wide leg pants. For a more casual look, go with classic leather loafers or lace-up combat boots.

Considerations for Different Body Types

Featuring Our Resort Pant - Olive

Wide leg pants are flattering for a variety of body types. Nonetheless, it's important to be mindful of the shoe styles that best complement your frame. 

Pear-Shaped Bodies

Pear-shaped bodies tend to have wider hips and thinner torsos. For this body type, wedges or platform heels are the best options for adding height while balancing out the lower half of your figure. 

Apple-Shaped Bodies

Look for shoes with chunky heels or wedges, as these will provide more stability than thinner heels and can help elongate your legs. Opt for closed-toe booties, loafers, or ankle boots to keep the look streamlined. 

Hourglass-Shaped Bodies

Choose a pair of shoes with a low heel or flat sole that won't detract from the silhouette of your wide leg pants. Sneakers are always a good option as they will provide comfort and balance out the look. 

Rectangle-Shaped Bodies

Look for shoes that add curves and volume. Check out ankle boots with a chunky heel to give the illusion of a curvier figure. To highlight your waist, opt for pointy-toe pumps or strappy sandals with high heels. 

Do's and Don'ts

Featuring Our Sadie Pants - White

These are the do’s and don’ts to follow when choosing the best footwear to pair with your wide leg pants:

Do:

  • Check the length of your wide leg pants 
  • Consider your body type and proportions
  • Pay attention to the occasion and dress code

Don’t:

  • Wear shoes with a narrow or pointy toe with wide leg pants
  • Overwhelm your outfit with too many bold patterns and conflicting textures
  • Ignore season and weather conditions

Tips for Creating Outfits with Wide Leg Pants and Shoes

Featuring Our Kitty Top - Tan/Leopard

Some additional tips to help you create beautiful outfits with wide leg pants:

Creating a Balanced Look

The goal should be to create a proportional look that showcases the wide leg silhouette of the pants. To ensure this, choose shoes that are slim and elongate the look of your legs. 

Adding Layers and Accessories

Adding a blazer or a cardigan over a thin shirt or tank top can provide the right amount of contrast and texture to make an outfit look interesting.  Accessories like scarves, statement jewelry, and colorful handbags can also take your outfit to the next level.

Styling for Different Occasions

Wide leg pants are a classic, timeless wardrobe staple that can be worn on almost any occasion. For a more versatile wardrobe, look for pieces that can be dressed up or down with the right styling. 

Our Bee Maddison Bonnie Pants are the perfect example. They offer a flattering cut and fit, while making it easy to create different looks for any occasion.

Sustainability and Ethical Considerations

Opt for a shoe brand that values sustainability and ethical practices. This will help ensure that you're not contributing to any unethical labor or environmental practices. 

There are many great brands out there today who offer sustainable and ethical shoe options. Look into companies such as Allbirds, Veja, and Reformation, among others.

Eco-friendly materials are also important. Look for shoes made from materials such as organic cotton, vegan leather, hemp, and even recycled plastic bottles. 

Shoe Care

Taking care of your shoes is extremely important for keeping them looking their best and making sure they last. Clean them regularly with a soft cloth or brush, and use a special shoe cleaner if necessary.  

Specific shoe materials such as leather and suede may require additional care, such as using a designated cleaner or conditioner.

Best Colours to Wear in Winter: A Comprehensive Guide



Alright, ladies, brace yourselves because we're about to debunk a major style myth: "Winter equals dark colours." We know you've heard it before, as it's like a rite of passage into the colder months. The weather gets a tad frostier, and suddenly everyone's donning greys, blacks, and navy blues like they're part of a moody music video. But trust us, you don't have to take the emo route just because Jack Frost is in town!

Just think back to the time when you remember slipping into that bold red dress and instantly feeling like Beyoncé on the red carpet. Or remember that major zen vibes you feel whenever you wrap around your favourite soft blue scarf. You see, those images and feelings that you get are not actually borne out of chance! It all lies in the power of psychology!

You see, colours aren't just pretty to look at - they're the silent whisperers shaping our self-perception and influencing how the world sees us. For instance, warmer hues stir up feelings of warmth and comfort. On the other hand, cooler shades bring a soothing, calm-inducing effect. Don't get us started on neutrals like beige, browns, and greys, effortlessly exuding elegance and sophistication. And our forever love, black? Darling, it's the timeless emblem of sleek and chic.

Sure, those glossy U.S. mags may be preaching the gospel of drab winter hues, but down here in Australia, we dance to a different style beat! Let’s get to know more about this in the sections below!

Dark Colours

Featuring Our Coatigan - Midnight Blue

Just because we're championing colour doesn't mean we're snubbing the classic dark colours. Think about it - is there anything more versatile, flattering, and timeless than a jet-black blazer or an LBD? Dark colours are synonymous with winter for a good reason, after all! They're sleek, they're sophisticated, and let's be real, they're pretty dang practical (hello, no visible stains!). But more than that, they're comfort embodied.

Now, let's clarify one thing: dark doesn't just mean black! We're also talking about the elegant emerald greens, the regal purples, the dreamy navy blues, and the sultry burgundy reds. These dark jewel tones not only capture the essence of winter but also look phenomenal on pretty much everyone.

Styling dark colours in winter while maintaining that fashion-forward edge is all about the details. Here at Freez, we highly recommend ladies start with layering! For instance, try pairing that deep-toned Bristol Cardigans with a sleek pastel-coloured top for an effortless yet sophisticated look. Also, don't shy away from mixing textures either - think velvet with leather or satin with wool for a dynamic visual appeal.

Neutral Colours

Featuring Our Billie Knit - Taupe

Let's admit it: Neutral colours are the unsung heroes of winter fashion, offering incredible versatility and effortless chic. Think beyond black and white; dive into the realm of beiges, tans, creams, and greys. Their soft, subdued tones reflect the tranquil side of winter, and they can make anyone look instantly polished.

But the real charm of neutrals lies in their versatility. Pair a cream Billie Knit sweater with camel trousers, or throw a grey overcoat over a white ensemble. They mix and match seamlessly, taking the guesswork out of getting dressed in the morning.

Styling tip? Add some texture. A chunky knit cardigan, a silk blouse, or suede boots can add depth and interest to your outfit. 

Bright Colours

Featuring Batwing Knit - Pink

Think bright colours are only for summer? Think again! Adding a pop of vibrancy to your winter wardrobe can instantly uplift your mood and turn heads. From fiery reds and sunny yellows to electric blues and bold pinks, bright colours embody a sense of playfulness that winter greatly needs.

So, which bright hues should you be inviting into your closet this winter? This year, we're obsessing over cobalt blue, yellow-green, and pink. They're vibrant, yet sophisticated enough to wear for any occasion.

We understand that styling brights in winter can be a challenge to some. Here are some suggestions to help you pull it off:

  • You can go all out with a bold dress or start small with a colourful top like our Batwing Knit in emerald, pink, and taupe!
  • Make your winter fit pop by adding accessories, like a bright printed scarf, handbag, and even a beanie!

Jewel Tones

Featuring Our Cape Shrug - Tan

Winter's cold, frosty days are the perfect backdrop for jewel tones. These rich, deep hues echo the elegance and warmth of precious gems, making them a perfect choice for winter fashion. We're talking royal sapphire blue and majestic emerald green to luxurious amethyst purple!

When it comes to styling, what we love about jewel tones is that they do most of the work for you. They can be worn head-to-toe for a bold, impactful look or combined with neutrals for a balanced ensemble. Try a sapphire blue dress with black tights, or pair an emerald green top with a fun Summer Festival Shrug. Add a touch of sparkle with metallic accessories to truly channel the 'jewel' vibe.

Pastel Colours

Featuring Our Fresia Dress - Blush

Pastel colours like frosty blues, delicate pinks, mint greens, and lavender in winter? Absolutely! Contrary to popular belief, these soft, dreamy hues can beautifully contrast the harsh winter weather, infusing a sweet dose of spring into the chilliest days.

When it comes to styling pastels, don't be afraid to pair them with darker hues for a striking contrast. A powder blue coat over a Fresia Dress, or a lavender scarf against a charcoal grey sweater, can create a compelling visual impact. Pastels also pair wonderfully with winter whites for a serene, ethereal look.

Metallic Colours

Love gold, silver, and bronze tones? Winter is the perfect season to dial up the glamour, and what better way to do that than with metallic colours? These shimmering, shining hues are just captivating, luxurious, and oh-so-magical!

Styling metallics in winter is all about balance. If you're feeling bold, go for a statement piece like a silver metallic skirt or a bronze puffer jacket. For a subtler approach, try metallic accessories - a pair of glittering gold boots, a shiny silver bag, or even a scarf with a metallic thread woven in can add a hint of glamour without overwhelming your look.

Prints and Patterns

Featuring Our Harper Jacket - Leopard

Winter fashion isn't just about solid hues - it's also the perfect season to play around with prints and patterns. These fun, eye-catching designs can add a whole new dimension to your outfits, making them truly stand out in a winter wonderland.

From timeless plaids and checks to bold animal prints to whimsical florals and geometric designs, there's a plethora of patterns to choose from! But how to mix and match these patterns in winter? Start by pairing a bold print with a solid colour from the same palette. For instance, you can try our Harper Jacket with a solid black top for a look that is so on point!

Coordinating Colours

Coordinating colours in your winter wardrobe can transform your outfit from drab to fab in seconds. It's all about finding the perfect balance. Analogous colours, those next to each other on the colour wheel (think blues and purples), create harmony, while complementary colours, opposites on the wheel, offer a vibrant contrast. If you're after a chic vibe, go monochromatic with different shades of one colour. 

Be it a cool blue ensemble or a warm, earthy palette, it's a winning look every time!

Accessories

Featuring Our Animal Print Scarf - Brown Tassel

Accessories are the secret spice of winter fashion! They not only add a pop of colour but also bring an extra layer of warmth and style to your outfit. If you’re unsure of which to add, try: 

  • Bold Scarf: A chunky printed scarf in a bold hue can instantly brighten up your winter coat.
  • Vibrant Gloves: Gloves in a striking colour can make a stylish statement while keeping your hands toasty.
  • Colourful Boots: Why stick with traditional black or brown when you can step out in vibrant boots that catch the eye?
  • Statement Bag: A bag in a jewel tone or a bright pastel can be the perfect finishing touch to your winter ensemble.

Fabrics and Textures

Featuring Our Cleo Cardi

Curating your winter wardrobe? Excellent! Remember, it's not just about the colours, but the fabrics too. The right choices can bring depth and interest to your winter outfits that'll have heads turning. Imagine snuggling into cosy wool or cashmere pieces, bathed in bold, vibrant hues - pure bliss, right?

Add a dash of edge and sophistication with luxe velvet and sleek leather. If you throw in some additional animal print like our Cleo, these fabrics will not just lend the needed warmth but also transform your look! And let's not overlook chunky knits. They're your perfect winter companions - warm, comfy, and, when chosen in radiant colours, absolutely eye-catching.

Skincare and Makeup

It's not just your fashion game that should be strong this season, ladies! During winter, focus on moisturising skincare products to combat dryness and keep your skin glowing. Look for creams and serums with hyaluronic acid, a superstar hydrator, and don't forget a good lip balm to keep your pout kissably soft.

In terms of makeup, winter is the perfect time to play with bold and rich colours that reflect the season. A statement berry or red lip can add a vibrant pop of colour that complements dark winter outfits beautifully. Pair this with a subtle smokey eye in shades of grey or brown, and you've got a look that's perfect for the chilly season. For the cheeks, a little blush goes a long way in winter. Opt for rosy or peachy tones that add a natural, healthy flush to your complexion, mimicking the glow of a brisk winter walk.

Dressing for Different Occasions

Winter dressing can be a delightful mix of style and functionality, whether you're heading to work, enjoying outdoor activities, attending a formal event, or just out for a casual catch-up.

  • Work: Pair a high-waisted wool skirt with a tucked-in bright blouse. Throw on a chic coat and ankle boots, and you're ready to conquer the day!
  • Outdoor Activities: Layer up! Start with a thermal base, add a cosy jumper, and top it with a waterproof coat. Don't forget a colourful beanie and gloves for that pop of fun.
  • Formal Events: Opt for an elegant velvet dress in a jewel tone. Pair with metallic accessories for a touch of glamour.
  • Casual Outings: Combine comfort and style with a chunky knit jumper, your favourite jeans, and a pair of vibrant boots. Add a bold scarf to elevate your look.

Layering

Featuring Our Bristol Coatigan - Berry

Layering is the secret sauce to acing winter fashion, loves. Not only does it keep you toasty warm, but it also allows you to play with colours and textures, creating an outfit that's as unique as you.

The key to successful layering is to start with thin, snug-fitting layers like a thermal top and gradually add thicker pieces, such as a chunky knit or a Bristol Coatigan. The outermost layer, like a bright trench coat or a puffer jacket, not only provides warmth but tops off your fashion statement.

Body Type Considerations

Understanding your body type can be a game-changer when it comes to choosing your winter colours. You see, certain hues can enhance your favourite features, balancing proportions and creating a harmonious silhouette.

For those with a pear body type, pull focus to your upper body with brighter colours, and keep the lower half in darker hues. Think jewel-toned blouses with dark jeans or skirts.

Ladies with an apple body type might consider darker tones on top and brighter, more expressive colours on the bottom. How about a navy blue turtleneck with vibrant red trousers?

For hourglass figures, feel free to play with bold colours on both top and bottom, as your balanced proportions can handle it. Try matching sets in the season's hottest shades!

Rectangle body types can create more dimension with colour-blocked outfits, using a mix of both light and dark tones.

Sustainable and Ethical Choices

As we're embracing winter fashion, let's also embrace sustainable and ethical practices. Look for brands that use environmentally friendly materials and ethical manufacturing processes. We highly recommend seeking out companies that promote fair trade and pay their workers a living wage. Some notable brands leading the way in sustainable winter fashion include Freez, Luna + Sun, Jackfruit the Label, and DK Active. Remember, every purchase you make is a vote for the kind of world you want to live in.

Shopping Tips

Shopping for winter clothes can be a delightful adventure if you know where to look. From online stores to local boutiques, there's a world of options. If you love online shopping, we at Freez have wide ranges of winter clothing.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance are essential for keeping your winter clothes in tip-top shape throughout the season. Here are some tips to help you preserve their beauty and functionality:

  1. Read the labels: Always check the care labels on your winter garments for specific cleaning instructions. Different fabrics may require different methods.
  2. Spot cleaning: Treat stains promptly by gently blotting them with a clean cloth and mild detergent. Avoid rubbing, as it can damage the fabric.
  3. Hand washing: Delicate items like cashmere or wool should be hand-washed using a gentle detergent. Submerge them in lukewarm water, gently agitate, and rinse thoroughly. Avoid wringing to prevent stretching.
  4. Machine washing: For machine-washable items, use a cold or delicate cycle and place them in a mesh laundry bag to protect them. Wash similar colours together to prevent bleeding.
  5. Drying and storage: Air dry knits and woollens flat to maintain their shape. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause fading. Before storing, ensure garments are completely dry to prevent mildew. Store in a cool, dry place to protect them from moisture and pests.

Remember, proper care and maintenance can prolong the lifespan of your winter clothes, ensuring they keep you warm and stylish for many seasons to come.

Common Colour Mistakes to Avoid

When it comes to winter colours, it's easy to make a few common mistakes. Here's how to avoid them and make your winter outfits shine:

  • Avoid combining colours that clash, like wearing too many bold hues together. Instead, opt for complementary or analogous colours that harmonise.
  • Don't underestimate the power of neutrals since they provide a solid foundation for your outfit. They also allow colourful accessories or statement pieces to shine.
  • Maintain a balance between light and dark colours. Too much darkness can be overwhelming, while an excess of pastels may lack impact.

As we wrap up our exploration of winter fashion and colour choices, remember that it's all about embracing your personal style and having fun. Winter offers a delightful canvas to play with rich hues, luxurious textures, and layering techniques that keep you both warm and fashionable.

Whether you opt for vibrant colours to brighten up the season or prefer a more subdued, neutral palette, the key is to feel confident and comfortable in what you wear. So, go on and celebrate the power of colour, and create ensembles that make you feel like the radiant individual you are.

Discover Your Best Colours: The Ultimate Guide to Finding Your Season

Finding your style season is all about identifying a genuinely flattering colour palette that perfectly complements your skin tone, hair, and features. It's like being handed your very own personalised colour wheel! Each one of us has a set of hues that can elevate our look, making us appear radiant, vibrant, and downright fab. Meanwhile, there are colours we're better off sidestepping—those that can make us appear dull, tired, or washed out.

It's a little bit like fashion psychology, wouldn't you say? In this comprehensive guide, we'll dive into the vibrant world of colour theory and lay out a fashion road map for each season!

Ready to level up your style game? Grab a cuppa, settle in, and let's get started!

Understanding the Colours Theory

Featuring Our Lily Maxi - Bubblegum Print

The colour wheel is every stylist’s weapon for choosing power colours. Focus first on these three colour theory aspects: primary (OG bold colours to make a statement), secondary (mix of two primaries for balanced contrast), and tertiary (mix of primary and secondary to create dazzling hues like bubblegum) colours.

It’s also important to consider the colour temperatures. Warm colours, like reds, oranges, and yellows, can make your skin look warmer. On the other hand, cool colours, like blues, greens, and purples, can make your skin look more relaxed. But how exactly do you know what temperature suits you best, right?

Identifying Your Skin Tone

Discovering your best colours starts with understanding your skin tone, specifically, your undertones. Undertones are the secret ingredient to acing your outfits because they determine whether a colour complements your complexion or clashes with it. 

To uncover yours, take a peek at the veins on your inner wrist. If they appear blue or purple, you're in the cool-toned crew, which typically corresponds to fair to light skin. If your veins seem green, you're on team warm-toned, often associated with darker or olive complexions. If you spot both colours, this typically aligns with medium skin tones. 

The Four Seasons

The concept of the 'Four Seasons' in colour analysis categorises everyone into Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter, each with its unique characteristics. Your 'season' is a personalised palette that enhances your natural beauty, making you look healthier, vibrant, and more put-together. To identify your season, look at your undertone, hair, and eye colour—do they lean warm (Spring or Autumn) or cool (Summer or Winter)? 

Spring

Featuring Our Alex Dress - Blue Spot

Spring is all about fresh, warm, and clear colours. If you're a Spring, your skin has a clear, warm undertone, your eyes are typically light blue or green, and your hair is blonde or light brown. Lean into light and medium hues that reflect the season's vibrancy. Think warm peaches, golden yellows, and cute oranges like our Alex Dress.

Summer

Featuring Our Violet Dress Collection

Summer is characterised by cool, soft, and muted colours. Summers often have fair skin with cool undertones, eyes that range from soft blue to hazel, and hair from blonde to medium brown. Opt in for pastels and muted shades like our Violet Dress in Floral that features soft purples, greens, and yellows.

Autumn

Featuring Our Billie Knit - Taupe

Autumn is the season of warm, rich, and spicy colours. Autumns usually have golden undertones to their skin, eyes that are bright and light, like amber or hazel, and hair that's rich brown, auburn, or red. Choose pieces with earthy tones like our Billie Knits to enhance your warm glow.

Winter

Featuring Our Bristol Coatigan - Midnight Blue

Winter is marked by cool, clear, and bold colours. Winters typically have a cool undertone to their skin, strikingly dark, cool-toned hair, and vivid eye colour, from icy blue to dark brown. Opt for vibrant, high-contrast pieces like our Bristol Coatigan in Berry and pair it with a contrasting top. 

Building Your Wardrobe

We're all about curating a season-based capsule wardrobe. Invest in a few key pieces that reflect your season's colours and personal style. Perhaps a mustard-yellow blouse for the Autumn ladies or a soft pink top for the Summers among us. 

Next, gradually weave your season's hues into your wardrobe. You don't need a total overhaul, just a splash of 'you' in the form of accessories like scarves, hats or jewellery. 

Finally, mix and match within your season's palette to create striking ensembles. The key is to experiment, have fun, and let your true colours shine!

Accessorising with Colours

Featuring Our Animal Print Scarf - Blue/Green

Ready to inject your season's colours into your style? Choose quality accessories that complement not just your outfit, but your skin tone too.

When it comes to jewellery, Spring and Autumn folks often shine in gold, while Summer and Winter individuals might prefer silver. As for handbags, Springs and Summers could opt for a fresh and soft- coloured tote, while Autumns and Winters can play around bold-coloured sling bags.

But let's not forget scarves and hats as they can add a splash of personality to any ensemble! Just make sure to stick with your season’s colours.

Makeup for Your Season

Just like your wardrobe, your makeup can also align with your season, complementing your skin tone and enhancing your natural beauty. 

  • Spring =  fresh and warm colours such as coral for lips, a soft peach blush, and earthy brown or green for the eyes.
  • Summers = cool, muted tones like a soft pink lip, lavender eye shadow, and a rosy blush. 
  • Autumn = spicy, warm hues like a brick-red lip, golden brown eye shadow, and a rich, peachy blush.
  • Winters = bold, clear colours like a bold red lip, smoky grey eye shadow, and a cool pink blush.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Choosing colours can be tricky, and it's common to make a few blunders. The biggest mistake? Ignoring your season and opting for colours that clash with your skin tone. To avoid this, stick to your season's palette and try not to be swayed by trends that don't complement your natural hues. 

Additionally, you don’t need to overhaul your wardrobe just to stay in tune with your season! You can always start small and experiment with accessories or makeup, then gradually infuse new pieces in your most compatible hues into your wardrobe. 

Remember, finding your season isn't about limiting your style, but enhancing it. So, why not give them a whirl? You might be surprised at how much they can transform your look and boost your confidence.

Eight Staple 90s Fashion Trends We Never Really Let Go



The 90s were a defining time in fashion. A decade of bright colours, bold patterns, and unique silhouettes that set the trends for what's still popular today. The era was full of iconic looks that transcend time, from the rise of grunge to the vibrant popularity of slip dresses. Female 90s fashion definitely flourished and influenced the fashion of today.

From thick headbands and claw clips to plaid flannels and crop tops, let's take a look at how you can style these eight staple 90s fashion trends that we never really let go:

Thick Headbands

Featuring Our Animal Print Scarf - Brown Tassel

You can recall the thick headbands that graced the runways of Gucci and Versace. These chunky headpieces were an instant hit and were a great accessory to any outfit. Whether you're going for an edgy or girly vibe, pairing a headband with your look is always sure to add some oomph.

Use a high-contrast headband with your hair to make a statement. It can be a great way to add colour and texture to an otherwise simple outfit.

Another way to elevate your outfit with a thick headband is to pair it with an animal print scarf to create a stunning boho-chic look.

Claw Clips

Featuring Our Apron Dress - Grey/Animal

Claw clips first appeared in the 90s, where they were often spotted adorning the heads of cool and stylish teens, but their popularity continues today with many people sporting this timeless trend. The claw clip is an effortless way to keep your hair in place and make a statement at the same time.

Incorporate this trend into your look by using a flecked or printed claw clip to accentuate your outfit. Try a solid top and animal pattern apron dress and put your hair up with a spotted or cheetah print claw clip to add a bit of pizzazz.

Plaid Flannels

Plaid flannels became synonymous with the '90s. Whether you were a grunge kid, or simply someone who loved to be comfortable and stylish, flannel shirts were a must-have piece of clothing back in the day.

Why? They go with just about anything — from jeans and sneakers to skirts, boots, and more. Plus, their lightweight fabric makes them perfect for layering in any kind of weather.

Add this 90s fashion staple in your modern closet for an easy, stylish look for days when you're feeling casual or need a low-key layering piece.

Hoop Earrings

It's no surprise that hoop earrings have been a fashion staple for decades. The 90s were particularly partial to the larger, chunky style of hoops that were often worn along with other jewellery pieces like necklaces and bracelets.

The best thing about hoop earrings is that you can use them to dress your outfit up or down. For a more elegant look, wear them with an asymmetrical dress, a pair of heels, and your hair up. For casual days, hoops look great with a denim skirt, graphic tee or plaid shirt and sneakers.

Scrunchies

Scrunchies were an easy way to pull back hair and added a bit of playful flair to any look. The iconic accessory has come a long way since its inception and showcases a variety of colours and fabrics.

For an effortless look, pair a bright scrunchie with a classic pair of jeans and a white t-shirt for an eye-catching statement. Alternatively, use your scrunchie to tie back your hair in a tight bun or ponytail for a more formal event.

This female 90s fashion accessory is a must-have item in any wardrobe and continues to be popular among celebrities, influencers and fashionistas alike. It's the perfect combination of fashion and function.

Crop Tops

Featuring Our Cleo Cardi

Today, crop tops have become quite the staple among fashionistas. But the OG queen of crop tops was Gwen Stefani back when she was with No Doubt. The body-hugging spandex crop top with a midriff-baring look was all the rage during the 90s, and it's still popular today.

Pair a crop top with some high-waisted jeans for that comfy, casual look that still looks fresh. You can also dress it up with a cardigan to add some sophistication. Neutral and dark colours are best to make the look more modern, such as this black Cleo Cardi with cheetah print, this oversized Billie Knit cardigan, or this Festival Shrug in the colour Raisin.

Coloured Sunglasses

Featuring Our Brooklyn Pants - Black

If you're looking for an accessory that screams 90s, look no further than the iconic coloured sunglasses that we all know and love. Today's fashionistas have embraced this trend with open arms and these eyewear statements are now a must-have accessory for any trendsetter.

Whether you opt for classic aviators or more daring cat-eye frames, choose bold colours like neon pink or bright yellow to really get the full effect of this timeless trend.

Another way to make your outfit stand out is to have all of your accessories be the same colour while wearing something more neutral, such as black or white to serve as canvas and emphasize your colourful pieces. Consider these Brooklyn black linen blend pants with their trendy paper bag waistband and hemp splits for a comfy yet elegant look.

Combat Boots

Featuring Our Aria Dress

Whether it was a full-on Doc Marten look or just a pair of black lace-ups for everyday wear, the boots made an impact that has lasted right through the decades. They can give any outfit an edge, from a vintage dress to jeans and a t-shirt, combat boots were — and still are — an essential part of any fashionista's wardrobe.

Dresses are a particular favourite when paired with combat boots. A floral or spotted number, like the Aria dress, can offer the perfect juxtaposition to a tough shoe and always looks effortlessly cool.

The 90s was an era that made a significant impact on the styles we love today. From plaid flannels and hoop earrings to combat boots and crop tops, these are the female 90s fashion staples that continue to reign supreme on today’s modern women.

These timeless trends are easy to style and can add a touch of effortless cool to any outfit.

DON’T

  • Mix patterns - Avoid wearing clashing patterns next to your animal print to keep things looking chic.

Perfect Style Pairings

Featuring Our Military Jumpsuit - Army

Winter is seriously one of the most magical seasons of the year, and with it comes another opportunity to dress and impress. And this is where jumpsuits can help you out! These statement-makers are absolutely perfect for rocking solo or elevated further with iconic pairings. Think luxe leather jackets, cosy cardigans, cute turtlenecks, and luxe scarves. Sounds like winning 'fits, right?

But remember, the secret to slaying the jumpsuit game in colder months lies in the art of layering. Just be cautious not to overdo it underneath, as excess bulk can ruin the sleek silhouette we know and love. Let’s go into detail in the sections below on how to stay warm in winter while wearing a jumpsuit. 

Using A Leather Jacket

Leather jackets are simply Vogue-worthy, and the best part is that you can pair them with a jumpsuit to channel that edgy yet chic vibe. Depending on the style-o-meter you want to reach, you can go casual by wearing it the classic way or go high fashion by draping it over your shoulders. 

Regardless of how you choose to wear it, the buttery leather material is sure to keep you toasty while making your look sizzle. So, whether you're sporting a biker jacket or a refined, fitted piece, you'll be turning heads and staying toasty all winter long.

Matching With An Oversized Cardigan

Featuring Our Billie Knit - Taupe

Are jumpsuits comfortable to wear during winter? The answer is a resounding yes, especially if you combo it with an oversized cardigan


Cardigans have always been one of the top must-have items on anyone's list since they come in a variety of sizes, types, and lengths that can work really well with tops, blouses, dresses, and jumpsuits. So, our advice? Reach for one in your preferred colour and material, and cocoon yourself in a stylish way!

Layering With A Turtleneck

Looking for the real winner? Teaming your jumpsuit with a turtleneck is a clever move to keep you snug during those frosty winter months. To nail this look, opt for a slim-fit thermal turtleneck in a complementary colour, and layer it under your jumpsuit for a sleek, polished appearance. Experiment with different textures, patterns, or even a pop of colour for an Instgrammable look. Don’t forget to add a long necklace for extra length and a touch of drama!

Go For A Classic Look

Feeling more classic than adventurous? Opting for the timeless boots and long jacket combo with your jumpsuit is always a smart choice. Depending on the style of your onesie, experiment with either oversized long jackets or a tailored, fitted option. The golden rule here is to balance proportions. For instance, try to pair oversized jackets and ankle boots with fitted jumpsuits to avoid looking bulky.

Knit Cardigan and Scarves Go a Long Way

Featuring Our Mini Shrug - Cobalt

Ready to brave the cold?

To put the finishing touch on your winter-ready look, selecting the right scarf is key. Opt for luxurious, oversized ones in a complementary colour or bold pattern and experiment with various ways of wrapping or draping them around your neck 'til you find your signature style. 

Need inspo? Level up our Sophia Jumpsuit in Black by simply adding our Print Scarf to make it pop!

Using a Cloth Belt

To keep warm while maintaining your stylish edge, consider flaring out your jumpsuit and cinching it with a cloth belt.

Plus, the cloth belt accentuates your waist, creating a flattering silhouette!

How To Glow Up With Your Accessories

The right accessories can elevate any outfit. But not everyone knows how to choose the most flattering pieces or how to put them all together to create a cohesive and polished look.

So, before you drop everything, declare you have ‘nothing to wear,’ and start splurging for new pieces, here’s something you should know. Learning timeless accessorising hacks such as how to wear a scarf with a dress can add character, glamour, and new life to any ensemble. 

In this article, we'll go over how you can create a cohesive and stylish look that complements your skin tone, highlights your best features, and adds the perfect amount of sparkle to any outfit. Let's begin!

Clothes and Jewellery

Featuring Our Harper Necklace - Rose Gold

Unsure how to match jewellery with your outfit? We can't blame you! Finding the right set of accessories is about more than picking what's on trend based on social media. It's about investing in key pieces that complement your skin tone, achieve balance, and match your personal style. After all, you don't want to look like a Christmas tree overloaded with mismatched ornaments, right?

How To Match Jewellery With Your Outfit

Featuring Our Gemma Necklace - Silver

Will this necklace, ring, or earring work with my outfit? Contrary to common belief, there is jewellery that goes with everything. It's just a matter of determining which one will look best on your skin tone. 

Generally speaking, skin tones fall into four broad categories: light, fair, medium, and deep. The first step to finding which one you have is to check out the tone of your jawline under natural light. Second, determine your skin tone by how it reacts to the sun. If you burn easily but never tan, you likely have a light to fair skin tone. If you rarely burn, but tan easily, your skin tone is medium. And if you never burn and tan easily, your skin tone is likely deep.

Now that you know your skin tone, let's draw our attention to the types of jewellery that will complement your look the best.

Gold

A popular choice and for good reason! Gold offers an elegant warmth and is super versatile that you can wear with dresses, blouses, and solid-coloured shirts. If you decide to wear one, the rule of thumb is to go easy with it since it has this overpowering effect that can make your look too cluttered.

Additionally, gold is mostly recommended for those with medium to dark skin. If you are on the lighter end of the spectrum, you can opt for white or rose gold instead. 

Silver

Featuring Our Stasi Necklace - Silver

Silver is the type of jewellery that goes with everything and is considered a more flattering option compared to gold. Since it boasts a cooler tone, it's perfect for those with light to medium skin and anyone looking for a more affordable metallic. The best thing about it is that you can easily make it shine when you match it with dark-hued tops and dresses with simple patterns. You can also layer it with other silvery pieces for fancy events for added drama!

Strong Colours

Layering accessories with vibrant colours and festive patterns can add an exciting and eye-catching dimension to any outfit - as long as you don’t overdo it. For instance, try to pick shades that complement each other by looking at the opposite side of the colour wheel. If you are more into stacking rings or necklaces, always choose dainty and minimal ones to pull off that effortlessly chic look. 

Muted Colours

When it comes to clothes and jewellery, contrast plays a huge role! Instead of sticking with a monochrome ensemble, you can achieve a more balanced look when you pair neutral and muted accessories with louder colours.

One of our favourite examples is to pair a bright orange dress with a delicate silver necklace and earrings. The subtle jewellery allows the dress to be the focal point while adding a touch of elegance. Another fun way to mix and match is by pairing aquamarine tops with wooden jewellery, such as bracelets or necklaces made with wooden beads.

Making Things Pop

Weight should be considered when it comes to how much jewellery to wear. Too much can overwhelm your outfit and detract from your natural beauty. Instead, choose one statement piece, such as a bold necklace or statement earrings, and keep the rest simple. If you decide to wear a statement necklace, skip the earrings or choose small studs.

Clothes and Scarves

Featuring Our Border Print Scarf - Black/Border

Scarves are versatile accessories that can complete any outfit. They can add a pop of colour or texture, create a focal point, and even tie an entire look together.

The best part? There are endless ways to wear scarf with a dress. For example, you can drape it over your shoulders for a casual and effortless look. You can also wrap it around your neck in a loose knot for a chic and elegant style. Want to give a subtle flair? You can also turn it into a belt to accentuate your waist.

What To Wear With A Scarf

Featuring Our Print Scarf - Multi

Pairing a mono-colour scarf with an outfit is a breeze. The key is to choose a colour that complements the rest of your outfit. For example, a black or white scarf can add a classic and elegant touch to any outfit.

Want to play with prints? You can easily style up using a patterned scarf to add texture and depth to any plain outfit. Alternatively, you can mix and match prints to create a fun and playful look.

How To Wear A Scarf and a Dress

Featuring Our Print Scarf - Cream/Tan

When you flip through fashion magazines, one thing you'll always see recommended to be partnered with a dress is a scarf. Scarves can be your go-to item since you can wear them in different ways. Beach party? Drape it over your shoulders as a cover-up. Formal event? Wrap loosely around your neck for a glam look.

Adding some jewellery can be the perfect finishing touch if you want to turn your fashion notch even higher. The trick is to pick something that'll complement the size and texture of the scarf to keep it balanced. For instance, a dainty bracelet or pair of earrings can add a touch of elegance to a patterned dress and scarf combination.

Hey there, fashionistas! Are you ready to rock seasonal bottoms that'll take your style game to the next level? In this blog post, we're diving into the world of slouch pants and resort pants – the perfect combination of comfort and style for any season.

Slouch pants offer a loose and flowy fit, making them a great option for casual and dressy events. Resort pants, on the other hand, are ideal for beach vacations or a day out in the sun. Made with lightweight and breathable fabrics, they'll keep you cool and comfortable all day.

Whether you're going for a laid-back bohemian look or something more sophisticated, these bottoms got you covered — literally! So let's get started on this exciting fashion journey together and discover the best pair to wear all year round!

Styling Flared and Resort Pants

Featuring Our Resort Pant - Olive

Flared pants and resort pants are two wardrobe staples perfect for creating a stylish and comfortable fashion ensemble. When styling these pants, there are a few key tips to remember.

  • To style flared pants, balance out the volume by pairing them with a fitted or crop top at your waistline. For a more sophisticated look, go for a monochromatic outfit with a matching top and flared pants. Alternatively, pair flared pants with a graphic t-shirt, leather jacket, and ankle boots for a more edgy vibe.
  • When it comes to styling resort pants, simplicity is key. Opt for a basic top or tank in a neutral colour to let the pants be the star of the show. A crop top can add a touch of playfulness and show off your waistline. Accessorise your resort pants with a wide-brimmed hat, statement jewellery, and a beach bag for a complete beachy look. To elevate your resort pants for a more sophisticated outfit, pair them with a structured blazer, heels, and a clutch bag.

Using a Belt When You Want To Flair the Hips

Belts are a great accessory when you want to accentuate your hips and create a more defined waistline. For flared pants, a belt can help keep things cinched at the waist and accentuate the hips, creating a more feminine silhouette. Opt for a wide belt in a bold colour or pattern to add extra flair to your outfit.

Remember, belts are a versatile accessory that adds extra oomph to any outfit. So whether you're going for a casual or dressy look, don't be afraid to experiment with different belt styles and colours to create a flattering silhouette that accentuates your hips.

Tucking Your Shirt

Featuring Our Resort Pant - Black

Tucking your shirt is a versatile fashion choice that can change your overall look, creating various effects depending on your outfit and body type. By tucking in your shirt, you can emphasise your waistline and elongate your legs, creating a more proportionate and balanced figure. When paired with stylish resort pants, this technique can enhance the contrast between the colours and patterns of your top and bottom, drawing attention to your outfit's sleek lines and design.

Long Sleeves, Long Trousers

Featuring Our Brooklyn Pants - White

Long sleeves can be an excellent choice to create a cohesive and balanced outfit when paired with long trousers. By selecting complementary colours and patterns for your top and trousers, you can establish a streamlined silhouette, perfect for a refined and elegant look. Additionally, long sleeves can add an extra layer of sophistication and formality, making your ensemble suitable for various occasions, from office wear to evening events.

Casual Look

Featuring Our Animal Jogger - Brown

Achieving a casual look with your bottoms is about selecting the right footwear and tops to create a cohesive ensemble. When it comes to shoes, opting for trainers, loafers, or casual sandals can add a laid-back element to your outfit, making it perfect for everyday wear. Pairing these bottoms with relaxed-fit tops, such as oversized jumpers, lightweight linen shirts, or casual button-downs, will further enhance the effortless vibe. By considering the colours and patterns of your footwear and tops, you can create a harmonious and stylish casual look that is comfortable and versatile.

Slouch Pants and Joggers

Slouch pants and joggers have become increasingly popular as they offer both comfort and style, making them a versatile addition to any wardrobe. These bottoms are characterised by their relaxed fit and soft, stretchy fabric, ensuring maximum cosiness for all-day wear. 

Ideal for running errands, lounging at home, or dressing up with a fashionable top, they strike the perfect balance between casual and chic. With various colours, patterns, and materials available, slouch pants and joggers allow you to express your style while staying effortlessly comfortable.

Best Shoe Options

Featuring Our Slouch Pant - Black/White Animal

When it comes to matching your bottoms with the perfect footwear, think about the overall aesthetic and event for which you're dressing. The appropriate shoes may complement your clothing and make you look fashionable and put-together. Here are some excellent shoe alternatives to complement your bottoms:

  • Trainers. A go-to alternative for a relaxed, casual approach, trainers provide both comfort and flair. With so many different styles and colours to choose from, you can easily find a pair to match your outfit, whether you're looking for an athletic look or a laid-back weekend look.
  • Flip Flops. A breezy and carefree look that is ideal for warm-weather activities or a day at the beach. They look great paired with lightweight bottoms or resort pants for a relaxed, vacation-ready look.
  • Boots. Depending on the type, boots can offer a sophisticated or edgy touch to your look. Ankle boots, for example, can be a stylish and versatile choice for casual and dressier events, whereas knee-high or combat boots can add a dramatic and daring aspect to your outfit.
  • Heels. Heels may instantly lend a touch of elegance or glamour to any ensemble. Whether you choose a classic stiletto, a chunky block heel, or a fashionable kitten heel, these shoes can easily convert your outfit from casual to elegant, making them a versatile choice for a variety of events.
  • Vintage Ballet Flats. Vintage ballet flats are a fantastic choice for a classic and feminine look. These flats have a delicate and appealing appearance, and their simplicity allows them to be worn with a variety of bottoms. 

Pairing with Long Cardigans

Featuring Our Slouch Cardi - Brown/Animal

Long cardigans that extend past the waist can offer a layer of warmth and sophistication to your attire. In addition, the long length of these cardigans produces an elongated and streamlined profile, which can be very appealing when coupled with various bottoms. For example, a slouch cardi can be worn with high-waisted jeans for a chic daytime appearance, or a chunky knit cardigan can be worn with wide-leg pants for a cosy yet eye-catching style. These combinations allow you to experiment with proportions and textures, resulting in a professional and fashionable look appropriate for various events.

Match With a Baggy Long-sleeve and a Scarf For a Classic Autumn Flair

Creating the perfect autumn ensemble combines cosy layers with comfortable and stylish pieces. A baggy long-sleeve top, a scarf, and a pair of slouch pants can create a classic and effortlessly chic autumn look. Here are some outfit ideas:

  • Casual Elegance. Pair a loose-fitting linen top with a plaid scarf and your favourite comfy pants for a relaxed yet polished appearance, perfect for weekend outings or casual get-togethers.
  • Autumn Chic. Combine a soft, oversized jumper with a boldly patterned scarf and a pair of tailored pants to create a sophisticated, comfortable and fashionable look.
  • Effortless Style. Layer a baggy long-sleeve tunic with a knitted infinity scarf and textured pants for a cosy and stylish outfit that's ideal for a day at the office or an evening out with friends.

How To Best Style A Women's Sling Bag

As the leaves put on a colourful show this season, it's your cue to play with daring textures, experiment with layers, and paint the town in fabulous hues you never thought you'd dare to wear. But before you hit the stores and start filling your cart with the latest shrugs and knitted wear, let's not forget the pièce de résistance of your autumn wardrobe: a stylish and versatile women's sling bag!

We know what you're thinking, "Sling bags? Really?" Simple as they may be, these stylish pieces are excellent investments as they offer durability, compact convenience, and the ability to vibe with pretty much any look, season, or event you've got lined up. And get this – they're roomy enough to stash all your must-haves without looking like you're lugging around a bulky bag or straining your shoulders.

Ready to rake in compliments with this fab accessory? Read below as we go over its advantages and how to wear and style one with your everyday looks.

Why Choose A Sling Bag?

Featuring Our Sling Bag - Teal

Slings bags have been around for years, and they continue to be one of the top items that never go out of style. In fact, stylists even recommend making these a staple in your collection stat, as they can keep your personal items close and safe while setting your hands free for sudden high-fives, coffee-sipping, and impromptu dance party action. 

Additionally, they are designed to be lightweight and smaller compared to a traditional purse. So, if you're looking for a stylish and practical accessory that can keep up with your on-the-go lifestyle, it's easy to see why sling bags are the way to go.

However, do note that choosing a sling bag can also be tricky. Today,  there are so many variations that appeal to a wide range of audiences. If you're after a version that can moonlight as a clutch for those ultra-fancy events, our Sling Bag in Black is a perfect choice! It has a removable strap that can also be used for other bags. And if you're thinking of spreading the sling bag love with a gift but can't quite nail down the perfect strap length, you've got to try the Sling Bag in Caramel. This sling bag version features an easy-to-tie strap with a generous length. 

Sling Bag Vs Backpack

Ladies, we feel your pain! Juggling work, social events, and errand runs can really limit our bag options. Backpacks? Sure, they've got space, but they can be major style buzzkills, often looking bulky and clashing with our outfits, even covering up a cute back detail on your favourite dress!

Classic sling bags, on the other hand, marries off the idea of a spacious backpack with the convenience of a handbag. These beauties offer enough room for essentials while being easy to carry and looking fabulous. And more importantly, they're way more budget-friendly than backpacks or top-handle or shoulder-strap handbags. 

How To Wear a Sling Bag

Featuring Our Sling Bag - Black

Can't keep your sling bag from playing a game of slip 'n slide? We've been there! To prevent this, simply look for adjustable straps so you can play with the length that best suits your body. This tip will work even for large sling handbags. If you've got an envelope-type sling bag, you can also wear it across your body diagonally to keep it secure. 

Today, there are several types of sling bags, including bum bags, retro-style, Korean, cross-body, and shoulder slings. While these are all the rage in social media right now, do note that special outfit combos will work for these. 

For instance, if the cross-body or shoulder slings you're using are made of leather or canvas, matching them with an athleisure top and bottom will make them look extra stylish. Another perfect example is the Korean sling bag, often available in bold colours and bubbly prints. Since they are a sight on their own, partnering them with neutral-coloured outfits is the best move so they stand out. 

How To Style A Sling Bag

Mastering the art of colour pairing is essential when styling your women's sling bag. For a sleek, sophisticated look, pair your sling bag with an outfit in the same colour family. You can also embrace the power of complementary colours and create eye-catching contrast by selecting colours that sit opposite each other on the colour wheel. These daring approaches will make your sling bag the standout piece of your ensemble. 

But wait! There’s more to styling a sling bag that you know! Read on to learn how one can change your figure, and what it works best with. 

They Can Change Your Figure

Featuring Our Sling Bag - Green

Believe it or not, a sling bag can actually transform the appearance of your figure. By strategically positioning the bag at your hip or waist, you can create an illusion of curves or visually elongate your torso. Additionally, wearing a sling bag diagonally across your body can add balance to your overall silhouette.

What To Wear With A Sling Bag

Sling bags are incredibly versatile and can complement a variety of outfits. For a casual, laid-back look, pair your sling bag with Brooklyn Pants in Black, a comfy top like the Maui Tee in Blue Haze, and sneakers.

Aiming for a chic, sophisticated vibe? Style your sling bag with our Cape Shrug in Tan, a solid-coloured blouse, and high-waisted trousers. For a more flirty, feminine ensemble, rock your sling bag alongside a flowy dress like our Izzy Dress and cute sandals. 

Are Sling Bags Bad For Your Back?

Certain types of sling bags can be problematic for your back, especially if they have thin straps or are poorly designed with uneven weight distribution. Additionally, the length by which you wear your sling bag can also be a factor in how comfortable it is.

To avoid potential back issues, be mindful not to overfill your sling bag, as doing so can strain your back, neck, and shoulders. Here at Freez, we highly recommend limiting what's inside to the necessities—a small wallet, keys, and phone are all you really need. If you're going to wear one for extended periods of time, try to switch between wearing it on your left and right shoulders to ensure that neither side is bearing more weight than the other.
