How to still look good during a global pandemic

Put your best look forward

3 years ago

Crisis is back in business, finally! But corona season does come with its rules and regulations. Nottingham’s heartthrob Crisis is no longer about messy all-nighters, but instead about sophisticated drinks and home by 10. However, that doesn’t mean who can’t still look, and feel, good.

Here are eight chic ensembles that will grab you those compliments you’ve been missing in lockdown, even if you are sat at a table:

Hey there, you street-style star!

Clear sandals, a mini bag, chain jewellery, and a colour-breaking mask, what else could make a style statement in 2020? We’ve all been there – lazing around in our PJs when the girls ask if you want to go out last minute. We’ve got you, here is the lazy girl’s guide to glam.

Accessorise, accessorize and accessorize for a surprise! This year’s virtual ramps are all about gold, glitter and layering. And these shinning picks are only from Claires and Amazon so are super affordable! Besides, these twinkling details, a basic bodysuit from Boohoo, which is also perfect for that 9 am rush, paired with baggy leather joggers will make you look fire, effortlessly!

Style tip: Don’t forget that bold lip under your blush pink mask because fashion is about feeling fierce even when no one can see it!

Unleash your fierce side by shade shifting

If you think co-ords are too jarring for you, dive into the world of colour combos – the dealbreaker to a classy outfit! Stylize Boohoo’s best bodysuits with bottoms of a darker or lighter hue – leather shorts, we’re here for you!

Such an assembly is all about them Megan Markle vibes but without those guilty Santander swipes.

Pair this look, with a Primark mini croc bag and a dangling necklace to break the monotony of a high-neckline. Add some mini tortoiseshell clips to give that those baby hairs a lift. Lastly, tone down your wilding side with a simplistic nude mask!

We’re bringing neon back

Being experimental with colours is always appreciated. For all the newbies playing with shades, black is an ideal stepping stone as it always has your back! Throw in a bright, strappy back bodysuit with an all-black attire.

If you’re not comfortable with a loud blouse or vibrant trousers, polish the details and get your hands on a sleek pair of Topshop sandals. Match with a Primark mini bag and don’t forget those chunky silver hoops. Top this look with an understated lipstick, under a bold mask!

Style tip: You may want to tie your hair up so your backless bodysuit can win some compliments.

We are blushing at this pink look

Want to create the illusion of a slim waist and thick thighs? Denim bell bottoms know how to do the trick. Long legs? they’ve got you. While these Boohoo’s jeans are magical, they work wonders with River Island’s chain belt and tbh, we’re hooked to its cinching spell.

Match this with one of 2020’s favourite accessories, slogan clips! To complete the look, twin these with a rose-gold face mask. These gold adornments know how to enhance a laid back look!

Style tip: A matching phone case goes a long way.

Bad and (budget) bougie!

If you’re not about that lowkey fit, here’s how you can look like a million dollars without spending anything close to it!

All thanks to Primark’s stylish winter wear and PLT’s body-con mini-dress, Bella Hadid who? Carry this charming ensemble to a social distanced birthday bash or the perfect date night outfit. Stay on the down-low with simple colours to keep a sexy and mysterious vibe. This could be your next hall formal look too?

Style tip: If you’re feeling bold, stand out with a pair of holographic heels!

No beef here!

Fashion week was rolling in snakeskin trousers and cheetah print blazers until the cow print *mooooved* them all out the way.

Bring in a hint of blue to accompany this unconventional pattern, and get ready to be the limelight of Crisis this week! Hop in a pair of sky blue Fila’s and pick up a clear blue shoulder bag! Enjoy the deep neck cut of your cow print blouse and adorn your skin with layered silver jewellery. Plus, these stylish wide-leg bottoms are pro at enhancing curvy hips!

To dye for

This psychedelic print has clung on to everything this season. From XL t-shirts to comfy sweatpants and now they’re on fitted dresses as well #excited! Pair this gorgeous Boohoo number, with basic white kicks and long white socks. We’ve picked some mini hoops from Claires and a subdued silver bag. Now that’s what a perfect balance looks like!

Style tip: If the outfit is a bit too busy for you, you can give the accessories a break!

Sunny-Side Up

If you think an all-black is ensemble is the only hot and happening co-ord in town, you’re wrong! A fitted white attire with a drizzle of colour can be a showstopper as well.

Pair a basic white crop with some torn jeans and break the monotony with a colourful soled shoe. When you’re in a pool of yellow, take that fashion leap and drop some gold for these sister colours will never fail you, nor will the cute butterfly necklace and mini matching earrings. Well, it’s time to look fly, quite literally.
