This article was written for Annabel & Grace, which is now part of Rest Less.
On a wonderful sunny day, this week, I met up with Maggie McMillan, personal branding and style consultant, to chat about current trends. Maggie is our age and has decades of experience in the fashion industry. She also understand the style challenges that women of our age face.
In the first part of our two-part series I chatted with Maggie McMillan about how our fashion shopping habits have changed due to this past 3 month lockdown, and how the fashion brands are also responding to the change in our direction.
Will we return to the high street? How will brands respond to entice us back? Has this pandemic given the fashion industry a shake-up? These are all questions I put to Maggie. Watch the video at the bottom of this post to find out Maggie’s answers.
Personally both Grace and I have found that Lockdown has changed the way we shop for clothes. We obviously need less, and it has given us time to really sort through our wardrobes. and discard anything that doesn’t work. There is no point in hanging onto something if you don’t truly love it as you will never wear it and will always choose a similar item that does make you feel good.
Visiting our high street and browsing in shops, a British pastime, may become a thing of the past especially now that masks are compulsory. Shops have therefore had to change the way they work in order to entice their customers back in. There is a definite need for a blend of online and high street shopping as the former is very convenient but we don’t want the latter to disappear so we must support our high street.
