Strawberry Mountain Style Guide Vol. 1
Welcome to the Strawberry Mountain Style Guide! We first released this style guide back in November 2022 and ever since we’ ve been sending them out as a monthly email. These style guides are designed to share some fresh ideas you can use with pieces from your wardrobe and with clothing you can find right here at the store!
Why are we doing these? Keeping up with trends today can feel tiring! With the internet and social media speeding the trend cycles up to warp speed, it’s hard to feel inspired. Finding trendy pieces can be expensive too. This can sometimes make us feel like we need to turn to fast fashion to find an affordable way to keep up or stay on trend. But that’s not the case! Let’s stick to the sustainable way of doing this and shop second hand!
We want to help you express yourself! It can be affordable and fun, without being fast and cheaply made. While we are sharing different ways you can wear pieces from both your closet and our store, we hope to inspire you to do what you do best and make it you! We can’t wait to show you what inspires us!
One of the things we have been noticing trending this fall are silhouettes that incorporate longer pieces. This can add length, exaggeration, and even a little sophistication to any look. Why do we love this trend? It’s a fun way to shift skirts and dresses into the fall and winter time. You don't have to give up the fun and flowy look because of the weather! You can simply wear it long!
You can even add layers – the more the better. Why stop at a midi dress? Let’s add a pair of flowy pants, or a blouse underneath. This is great for max comfort and warmth, yet it creates an elevated look.
Let's say you want to wear a long skirt, dress, or even a pair of pants and keep it casual, just add a graphic tee and a jacket to the look. Watch it come alive! The same can be said for jumpsuits. Add a graphic tee underneath and accessories for added details and fun.
Layering a long sleeve top underneath a long dress is a great way to turn a “summery” look into something appropriate for the fall!
Adding a pair of leatherette pants under a midi dress like this adds something extra and ups the overall sophistication of this look.
This band tee/denim jacket look is a classic! Just add a long tartan maxi skirt like this one to give that punk inspired edge.
Some pieces are just long by their very nature. This jumpsuit just needs some accessories to make it pop!
Thanks so much for reading! We would love to see your versions of these fits, or any inspiration you receive from them. Tag us in Instagram @strawberry.mountain.bst when you post them!
Until next time,
“Be excellent to each other”
