Wondering what to wear to go shopping in summer and winter? You’ve come to the right place!
While this question seems easy, IT’S NOT.
As a shopaholic myself, I can tell you what your dress DO makes and break your Saturday shopping mood.
To ensure you have the best mall shopping day with your boyfriend and friends in summer & winter, below I’ve gathered 8 shopping mall day outfit ideas together with some dos and donts.
Enjoy my ladies together with some specific styling hacks!
1. What to wear to go shopping in summer?
Shopping on summer days is always stress-free. All you need is to wear a comfy dress and you are good to go!
That said, if you are going to the mall, better bring a light jacket or cardigan – it can be chilly indoors.
For footwear, slip-on shoes are the best. Trust me, don’t pick the tennis sneakers – that is super annoying when you try to tie the shoelaces every 10 minutes.
And for the petite girls out there, please do not torture yourself with high heels.
If you want an extra few inches, high platform heels or espadrilles wedges are always great options in summer.
My other favourite – a high-quality linen dress!
This form-fitting linen dress just scream elegant in the most effortlessly way.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #1:
Use nail polish clear coat on fraying thread ends to stop further unraveling until you can properly repair the item!
2. What to wear shopping at the mall with friends & boyfriend?
If you are young, high chance you still find those designer shops intimidating.
Trust me, you are not alone!
Whenever I dress laidback, I feel like I am not put together enough to enter the store and fear the resting bitch face sales will just ignore me.
It’s all about your level of confidence.
That said, I will always wear a structured blazer whenever I need a sleek boss lady feel.
Together with a nice blouse, jeans, and loafers, this is how I dress comfy yet polished for the shopping day.
And of course, always ask your stylish friends to go with you!
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #2:
Prevent button-down shirts from gapping between buttons by using double-sided fashion tape <3
If you are reading this blog post till now, there’s one thing for sure…
You have good taste! <3 If you approve of some of these looks, please kindly pin or share some of these outfits so many tasteful fashion babes can come across this outfit inspo, thanks pretty! ❤️
And…it would truly mean the world to me if you stay until the very end. ❤️
3. What to wear to go shopping mall in winter
For a winter dress hunting day, again, make sure you wear something easy to take on and off.
That way, you don’t have to spend an extra 10 minutes battling with your tight faux leather leggings in the fitting room.
As a girl with thick thighs, the struggle is real.
Trust me this alone will totally ruin your shopping mood.
For me, I’ll always wear a one-piece loose-cut sweater dress for a fitting. All you need is to take off the belt and you are good to go!
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #3:Rub clear deodorant on the inside hem of pants/skirts to prevent thigh chafing. ❤️
4. Avoid too baggy clothes for a winter shopping day
I know that’s a brainer, but seriously, avoid wearing a baggy heavy coat in the winter.
The exhaustion is real when you carry a 2-pound maxi coat for a good few hours.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #4:Use rolled-up magazine pages to maintain boot shape when storing – truly work wonders imo lol
5. Layer up yourself with the thermal garment in winter
Instead, get yourself a thermal garment and a sleeveless puffer jacket to keep yourself warm yet carefree.
For a fail-proof look, go for a natural fabric like cashmere that can REALLY keep the warmth.
Together with a sleek shacket, this is how you stay lightweight on chilly days.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #5:
Stretch tight shoes by wearing them with thick socks and blowing them with a hairdryer!
6. What shoes to wear shopping in winter
Picking the right shoes for winter shopping days can be a little bit tricky.
As a rule of thumb, avoid wearing thigh-high boots that are hard to wear on and off.
As a perfect alternative, I’d stick with my faux fur-lined moccasin slipper shoes.
They are THE BEST.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #6:
Quick fix – Brighten yellowed white clothing by soaking in a solution of lemon juice and hot water!
Christmas is coming (in 2 months)!! and in case you want to spoil yourself…
Pretties, may I present you the two bags that you will never regret buying AND won’t break your bank so you won’t feel guilty afterwards …
The oh-so-classics – COACH Tabby 19 Quilted Leather Shoulder Bag on Nordstorm<3! (The reason I pick Nordstorm is because it seems slightly cheaper than other sites)
And I totally understand – Fashion comes and goes but this bag is here to stay for real…
Another one – YSL shoulder bag that looks effortlessly chic with a budget friendly pricing <3 I bought one last winter and now I am thinking should I buy another one <3
From my backend data, almost every 3 days someone from my email list will buy these two bags lol (Different sizes – some prefer mini some prefer the normal).
7. What bags should you wear for shopping
So you’ve pinned down your outfit, it’s time to pick the right bag!
For a successful shopping day, high chance you will carry a few shopping bags around your arms so I’d say keep your belonging to the minimum just in case.
As your winter outfit may already add some bulk to your look already, go for a handy shoulder bag or crossbody bag to keep your hands free.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #7:
Whenever I feel bloated, I’ll always use a rubber band to loop through a button hole and around the button for a temporary fix to pants that are too tight!
8. Be mindful of your hairstyle
Planning to do a boss lady type of low bun for your bestie’s shopping day?
Hang on sis.
Let’s not forget you will need to take on and off your clothes all the time.
If you are wearing the high neck top on winter days, your hairstyle is bound to be ruined.
Also, avoid all the dangling earrings. They hurt SO BAD when you change your clothes.
❤️ Girl’s fashion hack#8: Keep Jewelry Organized While Traveling hackThread necklaces through drinking straws to prevent tangling – simply clasp the necklace and thread the chain through a straw.
