We may not be going out much right now, but fashion still has an important role to play in our day to day lives. One thing we learnt from spending months inside is that what we choose to put on in the morning can have a huge effect on our outlook on the day ahead. Sweater sets and workout leggings were a revelation to begin with (and, of course, still a great fallback for those days when comfort is key), but after a while we found joy in turning back to dressing up to make us feel good. That means anything from adding a jazzy top to leggings to provide an injection of productivity for a long day of Zoom meetings, or even changing into a sparkly dress to enjoy a night in front of Strictly.
Right now, then, as we head into what feels like it might be a rather long winter, turning to bright, joyful clothes, and the effect that might have on our moods, should not be underestimated. One of our favourite under-the-radar destinationsfor such pieces, is Essentiel Antwerp.
