What is good style? Is it the trends we see in magazines? Tastefully curated wardrobes with a “classic aesthetic”? Or flamboyant maximalism expertly mixed and matched? Wearing Deiji Studios top, Fabrique trousers (12% off with ToJamie12), Tibi Aston sandals, Quince bag, MV red beaded necklace and gold cuff (25% off with JAMIELEEBMV), Mejuri chain necklace The answer isn’t quite so straightforward. Style is subjective; shaped by your tastes and preferences, the way that memories present in the items we choose to add into our wardrobes or the way that we adorn and accessorise our outfits.

Probably one of the most major workhorses in my cold weather wardrobe is a trench coat.

OLEADA understands the brief; their bags embody a sense of practical luxury, seamlessly blending functionality with elevated aesthetics. Today, we’re highlighting two standout OLEADA handbags that are more than that just…
I always look forward to these seasonal wardrobe analyses, to paint a picture of the items I’m actually wearing on repeat, rather than what I think I’m wearing.
