Tips to Slay in Your Kaftan Dress
-
Belt it up: Add a chunky or braided belt around your waist. It not only gives your kaftan a chic twist but also highlights your figure beautifully.
-
Footwear matters: For daytime adventures, pair your kaftan with gladiator sandals or espadrilles. Going for a dinner date? Slip into some classy heels.
-
Accessorise with flair: Layered necklaces or statement earrings can transform your kaftan look from simple to stylish in seconds. Remember, it's all about balance, so if you're going bold with earrings, keep the neck bare.
-
Bag it right: For a relaxed look, a tote or a beach bag does wonders. But if you're looking to upscale, opt for a sleek clutch or a crossbody bag.
-
Hats off to hats: A wide-brimmed hat isn’t just for protection from the sun; it’s a style statement. Whether it’s a boater or a floppy hat, it's the perfect finishing touch to your kaftan ensemble.

What To Wear with Women’s Tops: Tips to Style Tops in Different Ways
Feeling stuck in a style rut and craving some variety in your wardrobe? Fear not, as we’re here to pump some fresh life into your fashion game. Read on for ideas, whether you're considering a complete wardrobe makeover or simply want to add a fresh twist to your everyday outfits.
- Layering women's tops - Layering with women's tops is your fashion cheat code for unlocking new style dimensions. Throw a chic blazer over a classic white tee, and you've got an outfit that's perfect for a casual business meeting or a coffee date. Want to add a bit of a relaxed, boho vibe? Try a flowy cardigan over a fitted tank top.
But it's not just about blazers and cardigans. Consider vests, denim jackets, or even another lighter top. Play with proportions and colours: a cropped jacket over a longer top, a bright-coloured top under a dark layer. The combinations are endless!
- Women's tops with jeans - The iconic coupling of women's tops and jeans is like fashion's PB&J—it’s a timeless duo. Go for a crisp white shirt with high-waisted jeans for a classic look, or if you're feeling adventurous, mix things up with a bright patterned top. Floral, geometric, or abstract patterns can all make a statement and transform your denim look from basic to bold. A statement belt can be the perfect accessory to give this combination an extra edge.
- Tops and skirts - Think figure-hugging tops paired with swishy midi skirts for that striking contrast, or get cheeky with a sleek crop top paired with a high-waist pencil skirt. Round it off with strappy heels or sandals, and voila—you're runway-ready!
- Women's tops with shorts - For a look that screams breezy, pair your women's tops with shorts. Perfect for those sizzling summer days, try a relaxed, airy top with distressed denim shorts, or up your game with a sculpted top and crisp, tailored shorts.
- Women's tops and leggings - If you are all about fusing comfort with style, women's tops and leggings are your dream team. Reach for a tunic or an oversized top with leggings for a cosy yet oh-so-stylish outfit. Top it off with sneaks or ankle boots, and you're in the style clear.
Above all, remember: fashion is all about expressing yourself. So, play around, break some rules, mix and match and most importantly, feel fabulous doing it! Need a few new key pieces? Check out some of the latest women’s tops we have here at Me&B.
How to Wear a Ladies’ Jumpsuit – 5 Must-Follow Style Tips
If you love the simplicity of slipping into pants but dread the effort of matching tops and bottoms, ladies’ jumpsuits might just be your style match. Wear them to work, dinner dates, or even during your daily dog walks—they're versatile enough for all occasions. Here are five style tips to perfect your jumpsuit game:
- Get that perfect fit.
A well-fitting jumpsuit is key to looking poised and put together. Avoid jumpsuits that are either too tight or too loose. A jumpsuit that's too snug might make you look and feel out of place. On the other hand, a jumpsuit that's too loose can hide your figure, making the outfit look disproportionate.
- Accentuate your waist.
Most ladies’ jumpsuits come with a belt of the same colour, or you can easily add your own belt to highlight your waist. Cinching your jumpsuit at the waist can add a feminine touch and give you a more defined figure.
- Pair it with a blazer.
Adding layers can give more depth to your outfit. A white jumpsuit might look great on its own, but pairing it with a blazer can give it some extra character and make it more appropriate for work.
- Wear heels with wide-legged ladies’ jumpsuits.
If you're unsure what shoes to pair with a jumpsuit, heels are usually a safe bet (unless it's a casual beach jumpsuit). Heels help avoid looking shorter or unkempt. Aim for a tall, sleek silhouette by ensuring the bottom of the jumpsuit doesn't bunch up.
- Choose a solid colour.
If you're new to jumpsuits, it might be easier to start with a solid black, navy, or dark-coloured jumpsuit. A solid-coloured jumpsuit can elongate your figure as it creates a continuous vertical line that allows the eye to move up and down without interruption.
Ready to upgrade your style game? Jump into the chic comfort of Me&B ladies’ jumpsuits! Our collections are designed to elevate your look while prioritising comfort. With an array of styles—from office-ready to casual chic—there's a jumpsuit for every occasion. Explore our online store and find the jumpsuit that's calling your name
