Impact Style delved into the wardrobes of two of our contributors, Malena and Ike, to discover more about their personal style, go-to items, and more…
Malena
“I am a really girly type who likes to wear big coats. And I harbour a secret love for vintage gems. Digging up big fluffy coats in Hockley is my weekly routine!”
Your essential, go-to items?
I like to pair my camel crop top with high waist skinny jeans. I’d always top it off with my black chunky boots for the extra flattering height.
Something you would own in every colour if you could?
A slip dress. They’re so versatile and comfy! To go for that timeless look, I like to pair my burgundy dress with sheer tights and my go-to boots. I’m currently in the process of building up my slip dress collection!
A piece you love but don’t have many places to wear it?
My Public Desires chunky boots. They’re absolutely gorgeous, but too impractical to wear (thanks to the six inch heels).
Ike
“I think I would describe my personal style as classic and simple with a twist. I love sleek minimalist outfits with pop of print or stand out accessories.”
Your essential, go-to item?
My go-to item would have to be a pair of heeled boots. So whenever I’m feeling a bit down or my outfit is kinda boring, I always grab these boots, dresses up any outfit and makes my legs look better which is a bonus!
Something you would own in every colour if you could?
A well-fitted tee. Nothing is better than a good fitting t-shirt. It can be paired with almost everything and can be dressed up or down. I love this one because the fabric and the holes give it a rugged feel!
A piece you love but don’t have many places to wear it?
This skirt is definitely one of my favourite pieces in my wardrobe but has never gotten a wear! I’ve got some good styling ideas but not the right occasion to really show it off. It’s very 50’s.
