So true.

So I think this is one where a lot of women get really stuck because we're not dressing for work.

We're not wearing our clothes down to the grocery store.

It's not that sort of category.

It's this kind of weird in-between, almost like social dressing, I would call it.

So I think having the wardrobe staples that you can always rely on naturally, yes, your jeans, a pair of boots, a pair of sneakers, some fun fashion tops come in here.

So at the moment that could look like a fun colour, something with an interesting neckline, lace, mesh, texture.

Okay.

Any of that kind of category pairs really easily into this sort of space.

Yes.

Some satin pants.

There's a lot of those around at the moment as an alternative to jeans.

Leather pants, that's another one.

Some fun jackets like your tan suede bomber jackets.

Those are starting to come around into stores quite a bit.

It's having items that you already own that can fit into that category and could potentially transfer into your workwear as well that you can easily put together into really simple outfits.

So I guess a formula for that might be, say, your favourite jeans, whatever cut, whatever colour they might be.

Your fun fashion top, so your texture or your coloured piece.

And then your interesting boots.

Maybe that's something that's like a chocolate suede with a square toe and a low block heel.
