Add to Cart: What to bring into your closet this summer.

Put away the big florals — ASAP.

Summer is back and finding the right pieces to stay “relevant” can be stressful. No, there isn’t anything wrong with continuing last summer’s wardrobe into this summer – in this economy – we don’t blame you. But, if you are looking to find new pieces to mix and match, you are in the right spot. We will be breaking down pieces into four categories: tops, bottoms, shoes and accessories. 

 

Top it off. 

If you are over the basic tees, crop tops or tanks you’ll love these trends. For starters, high cut bodysuits are perfect to style with pants or denim shorts. Start by picking out neutral colored pieces and then slowly incorporating pinks, greens and red pieces. Go from day to night by wearing a blazer over it and then taking it off at night. Plus, who doesn’t love a girl boss moment? To maximize crop tops, switch out basic tops with a crop top with some drawstrings. This adds some detail and makes your casual look turn into casual chic. Finally, a top that has not gotten the love it deserves are bustier tops. The great thing about these tops are they aren’t here to cut out your circulation nor are they corsets. A bustier top enhances your breasts and can be a very sexy look for a girls night out. 

 

All things short. 

Sorry millennials – but low-rise mini skirts are trending.  Whether it may be denim shorts, silky skirts or a patterned skirt this will be the ultimate accessory for your fit. I recommend wearing flat shoes – sandals, sneakers, or low heels – when wearing a mini skirt. Feeling bold? Add dimension with some platform shoes, heels or strappy sandals. If you are older than 25 – do not fret – fashion has no age limit. Aim for monochrome, opt-in for skirts that aren’t too flowy, and avoid a skirt that makes you feel uncomfortable. At the end of the day, the way you style your look is your choice; I am here just to make the suggestions. So style away! 

 

Walking into your hot girl summer. 

Are we surprised that platform shoes are still in? I am not. And I am 100% for it. The higher you are, the closer to the fashion gods you are. This can vary from sneakers, heels, or platform sandals. Another shoe staple that can be transitioned from fall to summer are under the knee boots. Grab an oversized tee, your favorite denim shorts and add dimension to your look with these boots. For my high heels babes, jelly sandal heels are still trending. The best thing about these shoes comes from how minimal they are, yet they elevate your look. Mix and match your style by wearing these heels with dresses, shorts or rompers. 

 

It’s giving sparkle.

Accessories aren’t just jewelry pieces and sunglasses, they can be a mix of different things on your outfit. For starters, silk scarves are perfect pieces to transition from spring to summer. Grab a silk scarf and place it over your head or around the neck, when wearing white linen maxi dresses. Feeling groovy? Buy a silk scarf to wear as a top with a mini-skirt for a girls night out. Shakira was right when she said her hips don’t lie — so why not emphasize yours? Body jewelry is all the rave right now. Wear it around your waist when you wear a crop top, over a silk dress or a plain white tee.  Finally, let’s not forget to add some edge here and there to our looks. Fringe was a big deal on the runways this past spring. Choose fringe hats, chokers or bracelets to spice up your look.

Flint Park Eco Conscious Tennis Gear Our Review

Who The Heck Are They? The Scoop

Flint Park are tennis advocates and earth advocates that want to both preserve the integrity of the sport while maintaining the earth’s natural resources. An ace for compassion and anti-greenwashing. When you step into the world of Flint Park you understand that what began as a father and son project has now become a quest for sustainable material gathering, durability testing, and fashion-forward ideas.

Materials such as recycled polyester made from recycled plastic bottles are used in their tennis essentials for men and women. Sustainable materials, coupled with performance make Flint Park the planet-friendly choice both on and off the court. 

Quality

I test drove their Ace Tennis Dress in Black Camo. I found the non-lined dress extra comfortable both on and off the court. The dry-fit material kept me cool and I was not sticky after a two-hour match in the heat. The side pockets made with a nice netting material made it easy to hold my tennis ball and the skirt had just the right length for a tall girl like me. I paired it with a vizor and received numerous compliments from my tennis peers. The black and grey camo look is stylish and the recycled materials set the intention for a good match and a cool look. Cold water washable tumble dry low. I will be wearing this dress for a long time! They have this same pattern in a medium coverage Love Skirt and an Advantage (a line) skirt.

I also tried out their Navy polo shirt and found it to be especially soft yet crisp. They use organic cotton and recycled polyester. The polo pairs naturally with their Women’s Love tennis skirt in White and Navy.  You can go with their Kelly green top and matching white and green love skirt as another option. The skirt is made from 90 Percent Polyester and 10 percent Elastane, making the built-in shorts extra comfy, the skirt lightweight, yet polished.

Ease of Use, Packaging ?

Their products came in recycled packaging. And their clothes have washing and caring instructions on their labels. I found most of their clothes true to size but the if you are sometimes a large their medium skirts fit nice while I went for the Large in both the dress and skirt I could have likely found the Medium skirt to fit better as it is a bit loose on me though still comfortable.

 

Are They Affordable?

Flint Park clothes and accessories are reasonably priced and lower than typical high-quality brands out there. Prices range from 28.00 USD to about 88.00 USD for both men’s and women’s styles, which include shorts, dresses, shirts, skirts t-shirts and zip-up form-fitting Court Jackets..

 

Would I Purchase Them?

I am already planning to purchase their all-white tennis dress and White court jacket. Love!

Would I Recommend Them?

At Puckermob, we believe in sustainability first. We promote vegan diets, earth conscious products and compassion. I highly recommend you check out this amazing family run company. They put their heart and soul into their products with the intention of contributing good quality athletic wear to a conscious community.

 

The Downlow On The Downside

The line they have is amazing! However, the only negative thing I can say about this company is that their product line is so carefully created and curated with recycled materials that the product line itself is still small. My guess is as more people try out their products they will have more to offer. So check them out! And use our promo code for a 20 percent discount. CODE puckermob20

The Changes the Pandemic Introduced into Corporate Dress Code

Before the pandemic, those with traditional office jobs usually based their sartorial choices on the corporate dress code, opting for smart, work-appropriate outfit combinations as their workday uniforms. But ever since the onset of the coronavirus, the line between formal and casualwear started to get blurry. With nowhere to go and practically no one to impress, many of us started relying on loungewear consisting of pajamas, slippers, and sweatpants as we attended Zoom meetings in our workstations, which mostly consisted of our kitchen tables and beds.

But now that the vaccines are becoming more widely available, many of us may feel the pressure to make the transition from their casual wear to something more formal. The question is: is that really necessary? There’s been a noticeable shift in what’s considered work-appropriate, and it doesn’t necessarily involve suits and ties. In fact, dressing down has become quite the norm these days, and that might just change the way we view work attire forever. In this article, we’ll be looking at the different ways the pandemic has affected corporate dress code and how that will reflect in the fashion of the post-pandemic world.

 

Comfort is king

Prior to the onslaught of the virus, selecting a fresh, new work outfit was a part of our usual morning routine. Some of us wore heels and suits, while others wore flats, blazers, and dress pants that made them look polished and put together.

Nowadays, however, people are choosing comfort over appearance. They’re becoming more accepting of casual apparel and relaxed garments, which have become the hallmarks of quarantine style, and they’re shifting further away from scratchy clothes that make them feel uncomfortable. They realized that what they wear won’t necessarily affect their quality of work – as long as they’re meeting deadlines, that is. Plus, with no one who can see them but their cats, there’s basically no point in dressing up formally.

The rise of “the Zoom Shirt”

Working from home had many Americans figuring out ways to retain a professional image sans sitting in their office attire all day long. Enter ’the Zoom shirt’, a practical solution for remote workers to look Zoom call-appropriate whenever there’s a video conference they need to attend.

What’s interesting is that this method turned out to be quite effective. According to a study, workers who were permitted to wear more casual attire have seen a rise in productivity. This just goes to show that dressing smart doesn’t necessarily translate to optimized work performance, and you can carry out your job just as efficiently while wearing your pajamas and a “Zoom shirt”.

 

The shift to multitasking workwear

The pandemic has certainly reduced our need to shop for corporate attire and blurred the lines between formal and casualwear. Still, there’s this gap that we need to fill with versatile, multitasking pieces that can easily work for more casual and formal occasions – things such as simple dresses, blouses, and pants.

And while most American women can browse their favorite malls freely these days, those looking for womens workwear in Australia will need to resort to online shopping as certain parts of Australia are currently in lockdown. By shopping for clothes online, they’ll be able to meet the video call dress code while staying loyal to their favorite brands as well as tried-and-true outfits. On the plus side, by reaching for more versatile pieces, they’ll be able to build a work wardrobe full of office-appropriate staples that can easily be worn off-duty.

 

Embracing a more casual back-to-work style

Given how the notion of work outfits has changed since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the question arises: What will our post-pandemic, back-to-work style look like? While formalwear certainly does have its advantages – such as dressing for the job you want or simply uplifting your mood – for the most part, people aren’t exactly too excited about putting on formal work attire like they did pre-pandemic.

Instead, there’s a noticeable shift towards a more casual back-to-work style, and clothing companies are taking notes. Fashion forecasters are expecting looser clothes to make a comeback as many of us start to return to our offices, with casual Fridays being a thing of the past, and more casual, comfortable attire being perfectly work-appropriate. They’re also advising individuals to invest in more classic pieces that they can wear outside of the office instead of splurging on highly formal pieces they won’t be wearing nearly as often.

 

Wrapping up

The onset of COVID-19 has certainly changed the way we approach dressing for work. And while certain quarantine fashion trends may be too casual for the workplace, we can certainly see companies embracing more flexible dress codes in the post-pandemic world.

11 Budget-Friendly Tips To Build a Fabulous Summer Wardrobe

 

Alfresco dinners, vacations, picnics, and barbecues are just a few things that make summer the social season of the year. Are you bored of everything in your closet? It’s time to revamp your wardrobe with clothes that make you feel and look great.

 

If you are on a tight budget, don’t fret! We’re sharing the best tips to build your summer wardrobe on a budget. Let’s dive in.

 

Look for Discounts and Deals

Thanks to the internet, you no longer have to spend your money on full-priced clothes from retail stores. From trendy Instagram stores to popular brands, you can buy a wide variety of clothing at affordable prices. And the best part? Usually, you can find a discount code or offer. Always shop for deals online to save more.

 

Host a Clothes Swap

You and your friends probably have things in your closets that no longer fit you or match your style. You should consider hosting a clothes swap where everyone brings such items and exchanges them for something they like. Not only is it free, but it’s also a sustainable way to build a summer wardrobe.

Go Thrifting

Speaking of sustainability, thrifting has recently gained widespread popularity, thanks to social media fashionistas. You can get one-of-kind pieces at highly discounted prices in thrift and charity shops. Even if you don’t have a thrift store in your neighborhood, you can thrift online on websites like threadUp and Depop.

Revamp Old Clothes

With some simple changes, you can infuse new life into your old clothes. For example, there is nothing easier than cropping a top or sweatshirt for a more youthful look. All you need is a pair of scissors! You can also crop pants, jeans, and dresses.

 

Attend Estate Sales

Apart from thrift and charity shops, estate sales are a great place to score high-end pieces at reasonable prices. Such sales are a goldmine for luxury clothing and jewelry. You can check newspaper listings, online estate sale websites, and Craigslist to find estate sales in your area.

 

Buy Versatile Accessories

A premium quality scarf is a must-have fashion accessory. You style a scarf in many different ways. You can tie it around your neck, use it as a headband, wear it as a wrap top or a belt. The possibilities are truly endless.

 

Quality Over Quantity

It is better to buy classic pieces that will last you a lifetime instead of trendy clothes that will be out of style next season. Invest in a pair of high-quality jeans, trousers, white sneakers, strappy nude heels, a basic t-shirt, and a little black dress. These also make great transitional fashion pieces. You can easily layer them for colder seasons.

 

Sell Unwanted Items

Unwanted clothing creates clutter and takes up unnecessary space. Luckily, it’s quite easy to sell clothes and accessories online. Create an account on eBay or Depop to sell clothes you don’t need. Use the extra cash to buy clothes for your summer wardrobe.

 

Be Selective

For creating a wearable and fashionable wardrobe, it’s important to discover your style. Start by creating a mood board on Pinterest by pinning your favorite trends, silhouettes, colors, and so on. Use this as inspiration when buying clothes.

 

Find a Tailor

A good fit can completely change the look of an outfit. If you love things in your wardrobe but don’t fit right, get them tailored by a professional.

 

Borrow or Rent

Do you have to attend a wedding or any other special event? Buying a whole new outfit for an occasion is not the best idea. Instead, borrow a dress from your friends and family. Alternatively, you can also rent everything from designer clothes to shoes at affordable rates.
