The ‘daggy’ trap. We all have those days when we throw on whatever is easy or practical, but what if dressing daggy is actually holding you back from feeling amazing? Let’s dive into why it’s time for a change and how even the smallest style tweaks can make a huge difference in how you feel!
So what exactly is the ‘daggy’ trap? It’s when we choose outfits based solely on what’s quick and easy, what we think must be necessary. But it’s often more about habit than necessity.
IMPACTS ON CONFIDENCE – The more we wear clothes that don’t reflect who we are or how we feel, the more we reinforce the idea that we don’t deserve to feel stylish or confident.
CHALLENGE THE MINDSET – Let’s challenge the belief that daggy equals practical. You can still look and feel amazing, even when you’re running after kids or doing errands. There are so many options out there that are both stylish and functional! A well-fitted pair of jeans and a cute knit top can be just as easy to throw on as those worn-out leggings, but they make you feel a thousand times better.
Here are some examples of how we can escape the ‘daggy’ trap:
LAYERING – A simple dress with a denim jacket or blazer takes no more effort to put on than a saggy jumper, but the effect is so much more polished and put-together. You don’t need to sacrifice style for practicality.
START SMALL – Invest in a few key pieces that make you feel amazing. Whether it’s a well-fitting pair of jeans, a colourful top, or a stylish pair of shoes. These don’t have to be expensive or take much effort to style.
THE FORMULA – A simple go-to formula can be a game changer. Like pairing high-waisted jeans with a fitted top and a statement jacket or adding accessories like a scarf or necklace. These small touches can take an outfit from ‘daggy’ to ‘wow’ with almost no extra effort!
