LIVE WELL, BUY BETTER

Owners Ashley and Helen say you should feel fantastic in your clothes

STYLE IT OUT Ashley and Helen’s top tips

• Keep styling simple and invest in key pieces such as denim, it will see you through the year. • Consider a statement dress that you can pair with boots and coat as well as strappy heels when the weather lifts. • A good-quality wardrobe is filled with quality seasonless pieces and elevated by on-trend key items such as a statement collar shirt, wide-leg jeans and a jumper.

WEAR O WEAR

At Box Edit Boutique in Goodsheds, Barry, you’ll find a curated collection of womenswear, and quality is key, as owners Ashley McMath and Helen Rozel Molitika – who both previously worked for fashion head offices including Topshop, Warehouse and All Saints – tell us.

“We spend considerable time curating a range of clothing that you will wear year on year, reducing our fast fashion quota,” they say. “As well as our signature Danish labels such as Ichi and Vila, we offer an independent edit which aims to support labels based in the UK, including Molby, Hanndyed and Carrot Top Threads. Fashion isn’t just about clothes, it’s about confidence. Someone can be dressed head to toe in the latest must-have pieces, but unless they feel fantastic in it, it’s not worth the investment. Finding a key shape and style that works for you can be the best formula to feeling great; and if we feel great, we look great.” www.boxeditboutique.co.uk
