MAKE IT LOOK EASY

You know how much I love designs from the days of old.

And how much I believe masculine vintage-inspired jackets are a masterpiece.

They carry the wisdom of fashion history on their shoulders, literally.

The old-school designers? They didn’t rush; they crafted.

Their work wasn’t just clothing, it was architecture, storytelling, and art.

That’s why when we reimagine these pieces today, they don’t just work, they wow!

Here are some BOSS styling tips to bring your vintage jackets into the modern world, without losing a drop of their timeless magic.
 

Mix Eras, Not Just Trends:

Layer it over a 90s-inspired column dress, or pair it back with cool 70s-style flares. A pair of tapered ponte pants from the "00s" or shirt, 1/4 tucked.

Throw in the current coloured street sneakers trend or the chunky platform sole loafers from today. 

Vintage jackets love company from other decades, it’s the ultimate way to make the look feel timeless and personal.
 

Let It Speak with Simp...

This keeps things visually cohesive even if the designs themselves are different.
 

For example, in the image below (from 2015!), I'm wearing a striped tee with a watercolour print scarf.

Two very different prints, but the trick is, they both share blush pink and charcoal tones. That colour connection instantly brings harmony.

 

                                


If you’re feeling a bit braver, play with opposing designs. Stripes vs swirls, geometric vs organic, structured vs fluid.

As long as the colours relate, you can have more freedom with the print.

Even more advanced?

Try pairing enhancing colours (rather than matching ones). That’s where the magic happens.

Like the outfit below of the blazer with gold and denim animal print. None of those colours are in my strong logo tee, but gold enhances black and white print beautifully.

My tee has black and white, which is the ultimate print for Eyes and Vibrants to have in their wardrobes.

This clash becomes deliberate, confident ...

LESSON: Wearing Mixed Metals the Boss Way

Let’s bust a myth right up front:

You absolutely can mix silver, gold, rose gold and everything in between.

And not only can you, but you should, if you want that elevated, modern, “cool without trying too hard” vibe.

But let’s do it the Boss way, with purpose, not panic.

WHY MIXED METALS WORK

When done right, mixing metals adds:

• Depth to your outfit (makes simple outfits look styled)

• Effortlessness (you don’t look like you tried too hard)

• Modernity (feels current, not matchy-matchy)

It's one of the easiest ways to upgrade a basic outfit without adding layers or fuss.

START WITH A DOMINANT METAL

Pick one to be your lead, usually the one that complements your Boss Colour Type best.

✨ Warm Bosses? Silver or white gold is your best friend.
❄️ Cool Bosses? Gold contrasts on you.
🌹 Hair colour type or Romantic personality? Rose gold is your secret sauce.
🎭 Theatrical or Creative? Try blackened silver or oxidise...

Why the Boyfriend Blazer is a Style Icon.

The boyfriend blazer is that rare piece that strikes the perfect balance between tailored and relaxed.

Originally inspired by the idea of borrowing a blazer from your boyfriend’s wardrobe, this blazer is intentionally oversized, longer in length, and a little more relaxed in structure than a traditional tailored version.



Here’s what makes it a wardrobe game-changer:

1. It adds instant cool.

Pop it on over a tee and jeans, casual tracksuit, fabulous skirt or a midi dress, and suddenly the whole outfit feels elevated. It says, “I’m put-together, but I didn’t try too hard.”

2. It’s incredibly versatile.

A boyfriend blazer works across seasons and occasions. School drop-off? Add it over activewear. Drinks with friends? Pair it with a silky cami, denim and heels. Office meeting? Throw it over a blouse and wide-leg trousers. It’s the piece that says yes to all of it.

3. It flatters without clinging.

Thanks to its looser fit, it skims ...

The Timeless Power of Animal Print

Animal print has been a symbol of strength, confidence, and effortless glamour for centuries.

From royalty to rock stars, it has always carried an air of boldness and individuality.

Historically, wearing animal print was a sign of status and power.

Ancient rulers and nobility draped themselves in furs and exotic patterns to showcase wealth and dominance.

Fast forward to the 1920s, and leopard print made its way into high fashion, thanks to designers like Elsa Schiaparelli. By the 1960s, it became a rebellious statement, worn by icons like Brigitte Bardot and Eartha Kitt.

The beauty of animal print lies in its versatility.

It can be bold or subtle, classic or edgy, depending on how it’s styled.

It’s one of those patterns that never truly goes out of fashion, it simply evolves.

Today, animal print is a wardrobe staple.

Whether in a statement coat, a blouse, hoodie, skirt or just a touch of it in accessories, it brings an element of con...

Vintage-inspired printed knits are a must-have this autumn, but as a Boss Babe, we know our style isn’t dictated by trends, we wear our pieces forever.

Let’s start by pairing these knits with pleated skirts, quilted bags, and cowboy boots.

Don’t have cowboy boots? No problem!

I’ve swapped out that trend for my trusty light tan muck-out boots, proving that great style is about making it yours.

Light tan is my go-to for autumn and winter footwear, it creates the perfect contrast against my longer-length outfits, adding last hem line contrast to every look.

Just because quilted bags are trending doesn’t mean you need to rush out and buy one.

Instead, try reinventing a bag you already own! Simply add a chain belt as a handle.

I’ve threaded mine through the handle rings at least five times for a customised touch.






Patent handbags, belts, and shoes are having a moment, but for me, they’ve always been timeless.

I naturally gravitate towards glossy finishes in rich reds and sleek...

Autumn (and winter) layering trend = hoodies under your leather jackets, oversized blazers, denim jackets and coats.

Make sure you consider your fabrics that will be going under items that will be worn the entire day, keep this hoodie light weight and really interesting, either by way of colour or a fabulous print. 

In other words - check your coco! 

Don't repeat your shoes in your hoodie, print colour, pants, blazer, coat or handbag.

This becomes easier over time as you build your perfect shoe collection.

Gone are the days of only owning one basic pair of shoes. 







When choosing a hoodie to wear under your coats, chances are you will be removing that coat once inside, upon arrival at your destination. 

That means fit checking your outfit completely before adding your coat to make sure it stands alone as the style Queen you are before checking it again once your coat is on.

You will need to consdier this a two look operation. Coat on, coat off...





A trend that’s stylish, comfy...

This may seem like a small thing, but have you ever thought about it?





I know I did, which is why I wanted to share it with you. 

            







I know right?! ...What a difference it makes.

It's the science behind style.
