Transform Your Look: The Power of the Right Topper, Footwear, and Accessories

When building a versatile wardrobe, the magic often lies in the details. A single outfit can be transformed into multiple looks just by switching up your topper and accessories. So, what exactly is a topper? It's an outer garment worn over your main outfit, like jackets, blazers, cardigans, coats, or even scarves and shawls. In short, it's anything that layers over your base outfit to add style, warmth, or dimension. In this blog, we’ll show you how to elevate a simple shirt and pants combo for various settings by choosing the right topper and paying attention to your footwear and accessories.

Using our heart-print shirt and classic Dana-fit trousers as the base, here are three simple styling tweaks that will take you from the boardroom to Bellinis in no time.

Business, But Make It Fashion

For a sophisticated office look, layer on our cropped double-breasted blazer. The modern cropped length adds a contemporary twist, while the double-breasted closure maintains a professional edge. This combination is perfect for those days when you want to feel polished without going overboard.

Pair this look with sleek leather loafers, which provide both style and comfort for your busy workday. To keep the outfit office-appropriate yet chic, choose understaed accessories like gold or silver mini hoop earrings and a slim, minimalist watch. A structured handbag pulls the entire ensemble together, offering a refined, pulled-together appearance.

The blazer’s structure balances the playful heart print, creating a harmonious look that says you mean business—without sacrificing style.

Casual Cool Without the Fuss

When it’s time to unwind but you still want to look put-together, swap the blazer for our sporty zip-front sweater cardigan. The fine-gauge knit is soft to the touch, and the striped rib knit trim adds a hint of sporty flair. Ideal for brunch dates or casual outings, this cardigan makes the heart print shirt feel laid-back yet stylish.

Complete the outfit with flat hipster sneakers for that effortlessly cool vibe. Add a pair of your favorite designer sunglasses to instantly elevate your look and protect your eyes in style. A crossbody bag keeps the ensemble practical and chic, perfect for a day of exploring or running errands.

The cardigan's relaxed fit and sporty details make this a go-to casual outfit while maintaining a touch of sophistication.

Stylish for Social Affairs

For those occasions when you need to make a lasting impression—think networking events or cocktails—reach for our pique blazer. The tailored fit flatters your shape, while the bold colour, red rose, adds an undeniable wow factor. This blazer turns the heart print shirt into a statement piece that radiates confidence.

Opt for open-toe heels to add a dressier touch, making your legs look longer and giving you an elegant posture. Don’t be afraid to go bold with statement earrings and layered bracelets—these accessories are your secret weapon for turning heads and sparking conversations.

The vibrant blazer and striking accessories transform a playful shirt into a powerful, event-ready ensemble.

The Finishing Touch

The heart print shirt and Dana trouser may form the base of your outfit, but it's the toppers and accessories that define the look. From office chic to laid-back weekend wear and social savvy attire, these elements allow you to customize your style to suit any occasion.

So, next time you’re reaching for that same shirt and trouser combo, think about how a different topper and a few well-chosen accessories could make it feel brand new. Fashion is all about reinvention—one stylish detail at a time.
