Sunday Best

It’s hard to overcome centuries of mindset and many women still struggle with the concept of wearing their ‘Sunday Best’ frequently.

How much wear do you get out of your favourite clothes? Do you wait for that elusive special occasion, for it to never come?

It’s ironic that sometimes we love things so much we never wear them. We wrap and box them, carefully placing them at the back of the wardrobe, often forgetting we have them. Sometimes when we are ready to wear them they’ve gone out of style, they no longer fit us or we simply don’t like them anymore.

Of course it’s about practicality and appropriateness to the situation and ‘Sunday Best’ implies a style which is traditionally dressier and more formal than our everyday wear. There are always exceptions but it’s worth considering how you can add casual elements to make your dressier clothes more wearable. Team that formal coat with jeans and boots; contrast those sparkly earrings with a plain white shirt or t-shirt; mix tan leather shoes with a fitted black dress.

It’s a proven fact that wearing your favourite clothes gives you confidence. Enjoy your Sunday Best today.
