How to Build a Chic and Versatile Wardrobe with Lulus Style Essentials
PAGE
By PAGE Editor
Creating the perfect collection of outfits that are chic, functional, and comfortable doesn't have to involve having a ton of clothes to choose from. The key is picking the basics that can easily transform from regular schedules to dinners, to celebrations, to vacations, and you can switch them up to the occasion. Lulus has a variety of women's dresses and clothing, selecting various dress codes, silhouettes, events and styles. It has everything ranging from casual wear to everyday dresses, cocktail dresses, formal dresses, bridesmaid dresses, dresses for guests and even vacation dresses.
Begin with flexible components that serve more than one purpose
The basis of a good wardrobe is versatile clothing. Avoid selecting garments that will only fit and look good with a single shoe, layer or accessory; think about styling options that will work with a variety of different items. Dresses can be especially helpful since one good dress can be the basis for a variety of looks. A straight midi dress, for instance, can be finished with heels and big jewellery for a nighttime event and sandals and a light bag for a day at work. Lulus' range of midi, maxi, mini, satin, floral, linen, wrap and other dresses provides shoppers with a wide choice of options to create variations in their outfits. If you prefer neutral colours like black, navy, ivory, beige, or any other understated shade, it can also help simplify the process of coordinating your clothes. These colours are suitable choices for bases since add-on colours make a difference in creating the overall look, but do not necessitate an entirely different ensemble. Also add some trendy items.
Cohen Medium Wash Floral Denim Jacket
$69
The Cohen Medium Wash Floral Denim Jacket from Lulus is a fun refresh of the traditional denim jacket. This medium-wash denim base features a unique floral design with bleach dyeing, offering a relaxed yet trendy look. The collar is made of brown corduroy, which provides a nice contrast to the blue denim and adds a touch of vintage vibe to the overall look of the jacket. The box button front ensures the overall style remains casual, with front pockets being functional. This is finished with long sleeves with button cuffs. Lulus calls the jacket an “unlined” jacket with a “true to size” fit.
This jacket is especially simple to add to a changeover wardrobe. Put it over a plain fitted shirt, jeans for a casual ensemble; or over a dress for a casual yet slightly relaxed feel. The floral pattern is interesting too, so that it can be used as a focus for a plain outfit.
A neutral brown collar will blend well with neutral accessories, boots, handbags, or warm-toned tops. Since the jacket does not stretch, it is important to consider the fit when making the choice of wearing it over light or heavier layers. Another idea Lulus has is a matching skort for a chic ensemble. The Cohen jacket is a great alternative to a typical denim layer for fall outfits, weekend plans, casual outings or casual daytime looks. The floral detail, the traditional denim and the contrasting corduroy make it a versatile item that has tons of character.
Tully Brown Floral High-Rise Pants
$49
For a more refined look, the Tully Brown Floral High-Rise Pants are a great option for adding print to a basic outfit. Woven trousers with a brown floral pattern, high-rise waist and straight legs for a clean, streamlined look. The pants come in a sleek style with the promise of making any outfit look elevated; the hidden side zipper keeps things clean and uncluttered. The trousers are lined and have no stretch. The high-rise silhouette makes these pants particularly flattering with tucked-in tops, fitted blouses, cropped sweaters or structured shirts. The floral print already makes for interesting wear, so a plain-colored top can help to balance the outfit so it's not too distracting. To create a more cohesive look, go for colours that harmonise with the brown and blue hues of the flower patterns.
With their straight-leg design, they can be paired with various looks, making them versatile for both casual and more refined wear. Opt for heels with dinner, events or a smart look at the workplace; flats or loafers for a more casual outfit. The length of the leg allows for the display of favourite heels; the fitted waist and generous hips offer shape without restricting the silhouette, Lulus notes. They can also be a great choice for a statement pair of pants for the season. The warm brown hues seem like a perfect fall colour palette, and the shape is fitted and refined. The Tully pants feature a subtle knit design for a casual feel or a complex relationship with blouse design for a more formal look, making them an attractive option to traditional solid colour pants.
Liada Olive Pleated High-Waisted Maxi Skirt
$44
Liada Olive Pleated High-Waisted Maxi Skirt will be a combination of an elegant silhouette and the versatile colour of olive green. The skirt is crafted from pleated chiffon with a banded, high-rise waist and an A-line maxi silhouette, which offers seamless movement while walking. Lulus says it's a "cool and versatile" fashion that can be worn for everyday wear or for more upscale events. Also features an understated side zipper and liner.
The olive shade is especially convenient when it comes to styling this skirt. Combine with other neutral tops such as ivory, cream, beige, black or other neutral colours for a more subdued look. A fitted blouse will make a complete outfit, or a simple knit or tucked-in blouse will make the over-skirt look more relaxed. If you want to make it a more grown-up ensemble, finish with something with a heel or toe that's a point rather than a square, and some fine jewellery.
The pleated chiffon fabric adds a touch of texture and movement to a basic garment, creating a more interesting look. The A-line maxi has plenty of visual length, while the high-rise waist offers a great beginning line for the skirt. Lulus calls the fit true to size, with a natural waist and hip design loosely fitting. The skirt hangs down to the ankle, with a M size being about 55.5 inches in length from the waist to the hem of the skirt.
The Liada skirt can be effortlessly adapted to various seasons as well. Dress it up with sandals and a lightweight shirt in warmer weather, and change to a sweater, jacket and closed-toe shoes in colder weather. It also features in Lulus' minimal work outfits and workwear section, which showcases its versatility for a sophisticated work look.
Modest Work Outfits from Lulus
Lulus' Modest Work Outfits collection provides a wide range of clothing that will give you a more covered, sophisticated style to create stylish office outfits. There are currently hundreds of styles in the collection, and there are many more categories such as workwear, office dresses, pants, skirts, tops, bags and shoes. One of the strengths of this collection is its variety. Combined with coordinated tops, structured dresses, shorter skirts, and modest skirts, shoppers can create an entire ensemble with tailored trousers and separates. For instance, wide-leg trousers and button-down vest tops are included in the collection and constitute a simple base to create an office look. It also has midi dresses, tops that can be styled with blazers, sweater tops, maxi skirts and more.
The collection helps establish a professional look that is not strictly based on suits. For the long skirt, a simple blouse and loafers are an elegant combination, and wide-leg trousers can be a refinable fit with a structured or a simple knit vest. A simple sheath dress can also be made more versatile when paired with a blazer, cardigan or simple accessories.
Many of Lulus' pieces are neutral colours that will coordinate well with other colours: ivory, olive, brown, cream, charcoal, and black. Floral and textured are also available to add personality without sacrificing a sleek look.
Finish Your Wardrobe with Smart Styling
A beautiful item becomes much more valuable when it can be paired with several existing items. Search for complementary colours, wearable lines and appropriate fabrics for your lifestyle. It's not about keeping up with all the trends. Rather, mix and match fashion basics with some trendy pieces that give your wardrobe a modern and fresh look. The fact that Lulus offers a variety of options allows you to try out a few different silhouettes and make some different looks for various events without losing your own style.
In the end, a chic wardrobe makes dressing up easier. With versatile essentials, you can add pieces for various events, and accessories can turn your wardrobe into a stylish and fashionable closet that you can count on. From women's dresses, clothing, shoes, and accessories to occasionwear, Lulus offers a wide array of options to help you create an outfit that's both functional and fabulous.
