Magnolia Pearl is one of our most popular brands here at Missouri Bluffs, but sometimes our customers have questions about how to style their new pieces. We’re here to share our best tips on how to style your Magnolia Pearl clothing for any occasion.
Understanding the “Shabby Chic” Aesthetic
Magnolia Pearl’s signature style is often referred to as “shabby chic” or “gypsy.” Shabby chic is a charming aesthetic that combines elements of vintage, distressed, and romantic clothing styles. It is often characterized by its use of muted colors, natural fabrics, and feminine accents such as lace, ruffles, and bows.
Shabby chic clothing often has a relaxed and comfortable fit and is perfect for creating a laidback look. Some common elements of this style include:
- Floral prints
- Loose fits
- Mismatched patterns and textures
- Distressed denim/fabrics
- Chunky knitwear
- Unconventional accessories
Fans of this style often enjoy mixing and matching different pieces to create a unique look. One reason why our staff and customers love styling Magnolia Pearl is that you don’t have to worry about perfectly matching each element of your outfit.
In fact, mis-matching is encouraged!
Ways to Style Your Magnolia Pearl Garments
When it comes to styling Magnolia Pearl, there are virtually endless options. Here are just a few of our top tips on how to style your Magnolia Pearl pieces:
#1: Elevate the classic t-shirt and jeans combo
Pair one of Magnolia Pearl’s cotton and linen blouses with your favorite distressed denim for a relaxed, everyday look. Add a statement earring or necklace and you’ll be out the door in no time! See our owner, Cathi, sporting this look below:
#2: Pair feminine and rugged elements
Layer silk and lacey Magnolia Pearl pieces with heavier denims and cottons. This adds balance and dimension to any look. Designer, Robin Brown often layers a more rugged cotton piece, like the Check Haven Coat, on top of light and feminine dresses or vice versa.
#3: Go all oversized
If you fully commit to the “slouchy” look, you’ll be surprised at how put together the end product looks and feels. Layering multiple loose-fitting Magnolia Pearl pieces ultimately creates a cohesive, multi-dimensional outfit.
The t-shirt, jacket and overalls combination is a great way to try implementing this tip:
#4: Layer, layer, layer
Layering is the name of the game when it comes to styling Magnolia Pearl. Shorts over pants, a longer skirt below a dress, overalls with a jacket...get creative!
Magnolia Pearl is all about breaking so-called style rules. Play around with unconventional layering and you just might find new outfits within your existing wardrobe.
#4: Dress up with lace and heels
Magnolia Pearl clothing is typically seen styled for casual wear with flat boots or sandals. However, you can easily dress up an outfit with some lacey, feminine elements and a pair of heels.
For example, the loose-fitting Magnolia Pearl Miner Denim jeans can be instantly elevated when paired with a kitten heel and layered dress or blouse.
#5: Add an unexpected accessory
A quick way to level up a Magnolia Pearl outfit is by adding a simple, but unconventional accessory like a large bow, ribbon, or colorful hat. Play with bows, ribbons, hats, and more to draw the eye and add unique structure to flowy garments.
#6: Sport Magnolia Pearl from head to toe
One of the most fool-proof ways to style Magnolia Pearl is simply wearing the brand from head to toe for an instantly cohesive look. Despite the wide range of colors, styles, and silhouettes, Robin Brown always delivers a consistent aesthetic so each new item you add to your collection can complement the rest.
