TANJA GACIC DOES 24-7 STYLE
31 Aug 2016
The Dilemma: by the time you have picked out your work appropriate accessories, it’s already 5pm and your dinner date is waiting.
Our advice: Invest in the pieces that will take you anywhere, because any time can be your shining moment.
But don’t just take our word for it. Tanja Gacic takes the pieces traditionally reserved for after-dark along with their more paired-down counterparts and wraps them up into looks that work for day AND play.
“Typically, black patent leather is reserved for night, however I find it can completely transform an outfit while the sun is still up. For a modern take on a classic wardrobe uniform, choose simple shapes finished in high tech, sportswear-inspired fabrics and then accessorise with fine gold jewellery.”
“With spring on the way, my favourite combination is mixing white with silver toned accessories. Most people discount white for after dark, which in my mind makes it that much more striking. I love the boy/girl look, but choosing a mannish silhouette doesn’t mean you need to be any less feminine; go for soft, touchable knits and wide legged palazzo pants, then add cool silver toned accessories such as brogues and a snake skin textured clutch.
After another big styling tip this season? Wear your cuffs over your sleeves.”
Game changer!
