It's all in how you style it

Sought-after style is all about the mix. It’s where Saturday night’s little black dress meets Sunday afternoon’s eggplant sporty jacket, and they get along famously. An insatiable appetite for add-ons scores points too. Remember that old rule about taking off one piece of jewellery before you head out? Forget it, and pile on another watch (or ring, or necklace or a pair of glasses) instead. Today’s rule: more is more stylish.
