A while back, I had the pleasure of attending The Northern Wedding Show at the Metro Radio Arena (now Utilita Arena)with my best friend. We were excited to explore the show and see what it had to offer, but one person in particular caught our attention – Nichola English, aka The Wardrobe Provocateur.

As the chief bridesmaid for my friend Katie’s upcoming wedding, I was eager to hear Nichola’s advice on how to create a perfect wedding day look.
Choosing the right wedding dress is one of the most important decisions a bride will make for her big day. It’s essential to find a style and fit that flatters and accentuates the bride’s unique body shape. Many brides think they know their body shape, but they may not be fully aware of the most flattering styles and cuts for their body. This is where a professional stylist, like Nichola English, can be invaluable.
A stylist can help brides discover their body shape and find a dress that highlights their best features while minimising areas they may be self-conscious about. With so much at stake on the biggest day of their lives, brides should invest in the services of a professional stylist to ensure they look and feel their best.
But her expertise went beyond bridal fashion; she also shared tips on creating a wardrobe inspired by the iconic Sex and the City style.
Here are five tips on how to create a Sex and the City-style capsule wardrobe, according to The Wardrobe Provocateur:
5 tips for a Sex and The City style capsule wardrobe
Invest in classic, high-quality pieces
To achieve the chic, sophisticated style of the ‘Sex and the City’ ladies, it’s important to invest in classic, high-quality pieces that will stand the test of time. Think tailored blazers, elegant trench coats, and timeless dresses in neutral colours like black, white, and beige.
Add a pop of colour
While neutral colours are a staple of the ‘Sex and the City’ wardrobe, the ladies aren’t afraid to add a pop of color to their outfits. Whether it’s a bright red coat or a bold patterned dress, adding a splash of color can really elevate a look and make a statement.
Accessorise, accessorise, accessorise
No ‘Sex and the City’ look is complete without the perfect accessories. From statement necklaces and earrings to bold handbags and shoes, the right accessories can take an outfit from basic to breathtaking. Experiment with different styles and don’t be afraid to mix and match to create a truly unique look.
Embrace feminine details
The ladies of ‘Sex and the City’ are known for their love of all things feminine, from ruffles and lace to bows and floral prints. Adding these delicate details to your wardrobe can help to create a romantic, whimsical vibe that is quintessentially ‘Sex and the City’.
Mix and match
One of the great things about the ‘Sex and the City’ style is that it’s all about mixing and matching different pieces to create a unique, personalised look. Don’t be afraid to pair unexpected items together, like a structured blazer with a flowing maxi skirt, or a graphic tee with a sleek pencil skirt. The key is to have fun with your wardrobe and let your personality shine through in every outfit.
