Does your wardrobe bring you joy? It’s a question we’ve been asking ourselves ever since Marie Kondo entered our lives and prompted us to rethink the items we own based on their potential to spark happiness.
To hazard a guess, I’d say that over the last year, many of us have been focused instead on items that bring us comfort (think stretchy waistbands, cosy knitwear and the like). Though with lockdown plans now easing in the UK—albeit cautiously—there’s a newfound sense of optimism in the air, and that is certainly being reflected in our wardrobes.
With this in mind, I tapped eight of the most stylish women I follow in the UK to find out about the joyful outfits they’ll be wearing post-lockdown, whether it be to head to the pub, park or a fancy rooftop restaurant.
What I learned from this sartorial experiment is that joy comes in many forms. For some, it means putting on the brightest dress you can find and pairing it alongside spring accessories, while for others, it is donning your chicest tracksuit and elevating the look with a pair of really great heels.
