Why You Should Be Investing In Separates

It can be all too easy to get stuck in a style rut. Wearing the same looks, if not the exact same clothes, year on year is tempting - after all, we know what looks good on us. Why change a good thing?

Making subtle alterations to your go-to styles can give you a real boost. One easy way to do that is by investing in separates. 

If you are looking to pick up pieces that bring a fresh look and some serious versatility to your wardrobe and you’re wondering why you should be investing in separates, at Onyx Poppy Boutique  we are here to help.

Suitable for All Seasons 

Separates are not just for summer! While you might have seen some cute combinations of shorts and tops with summery prints (these do look great with sandals for a casual day out), separates can work just as well for every season.

There are wonderful choices that come in thicker, warmer materials, and you can find high neck sweater and midi skirt combinations in chic colours that are perfect for the autumn and winter months.

Smart and Casual

A great bonus when you invest in separates is that you can find pieces that work for formal settings, such as work, or more casual outfits that you can wear in your downtime.

In fact, it is easy to get the same outfit to fill a range of “roles” within your wardrobe.

Separates consisting of a pair of trousers and a tank top can be made work-ready by adding a cardigan, shirt or jacket, that will look great with flats or heels depending on your day.

A Minimalist Marvel

If you strive for simplicity in every area of your life, you probably love sticking with your favourite simple dresses when you want to feel put together without much effort.

Separates are actually a fantastic way to create a minimal and simple look while still giving your style a new twist.

You can get separates in neutral colours - think blacks, whites and greys - that will go with anything, and match easily to your favourite pieces.

So a top from your best separate set can easily be styled with trousers for a day in the office, or a pair of black jeans for an off-duty look that doesn’t require too much thought.

Mix and Match

The best part about separates are that they introduce so many new dimensions to your wardrobe.

You can buy just three sets of separates, mix and match them or wear them with other items you already own and create a range of some wonderful new looks.

When you compare this to your favourite dress, it can't pull double or triple duty in the same way as separates can - all without breaking the bank!

Are you feeling excited to add more separates into your wardrobe? They really are a great option to give your look some unexpected diversity and are good for making one outfit work in several different ways.

Whatever the season, invest in more separates to keep your look polished and fresh.
