Fashion faves: cargo, metallics and sporty sunglasses – three trends in one look

15.05.2023

Ready for a trendy look? With a two-piece as the basis, this outfit can be put together in a flash, presenting all the more opportunities to accessorise.

Two-pieces are the little lifesavers of the fashion world. When you’re choosing an outfit, they do a lot of the work for you. Even when you’re half asleep, they giveyou a neatly balanced base for your look, leaving you to simply have fun accessorising.

Recently, I was scrolling through our range when a Selected Femme two-piece, with a vibe somewhere on the spectrum between office worker and tradesperson, caught my eye. The cargo pockets make it look slightly athletic and down-to-earth, breaking with the office look created by the pinstripes. I’d combine it with a white bodysuit or tank top underneath. That way, you can wear the shirt casually, unbuttoned. The perfect template for an interesting look.

Now, you can go to town on the accessories. Gaudy pumps bring in a bit of extravagance. Meanwhile, green ear cuffs pick up the tone without making the look too busy. A silver bag and jewellery combined with the alien green create a heady colour combo. Finish off with some sporty sunglasses to emphasise the athleisure look of the cargo pockets, and you’re ready to go!
