Glam but first coffee
Do you know Stradivarius? It is the high-street brand/ store that operates around the world in most of the countries. In the last three years I have been obsessed with Stradivarius and every time I go shopping, I am going to get something from their store. Do you want to know the best of Stradivarius?
In Stradivarius, I like to shop for basic pieces, like tops and t-shirts. However, I do look for some trends as well. Today I am going to show you what basics I always shop for. But also what trends I have bought this year 2020.

FASHION PIECES THAT I STAND FOR
Turtle neck basics
It is funny how years ago I was very much against turtle necks on my body. I remember that my mum tried to force me to wear some in winter (as it is so cold). Unsuccessfully obviously. I always thought that my face and body gets lost in those sweaters.
However, I discovered a huge love for them last fall when I tried on a few of them and now I cannot live without. The love I discovered in Stradivarius and bought black and brown last year. Very good quality turtle necks, soft but at the same time light-weighted material. And I think it is the reason why I like these, they are light and thin material. Therefore on the body, they still look very good and I would say- sleek!
Long story short, I came back this year and bought one in white. It is super soft and beautiful. I am going to list down different turtle necks in case you want to click on and shop for a few:
White turtle neck sweater $25.90
Brown turtle neck sweater $19.90
Black turtle neck sweater $19.90
Soft and classy mini skirt
This year I have not worn anything classy. All the events are canceled and not even planned. Sad in that matter. However, I do stand by their classy mini skirt. Last year I needed some skirts for blogger events and store openings. Stradivarius did not let me down and I came home with a skirt in my bag.
The skirt I bought was beige, not too short nor long. High-waisted because those are the most flattering. The details (lines) on the skirt make your body look longer and thinner. But the most surprised I was about the material. The skirt has leather material, but the matte and soft material that stretches a little bit. It is a very good skirt and looks and feels as so much more luxurious than they already are!
Beige buttoned mini-skirt $29.90
Trendy ruched midi-skirt
As I mentioned to you before, Stradivarius is a trendy store. They have a lot of new trends as well as basics. If you read my Fall trend blog post (if not, read it HERE). Then you know that this year, drawstring details are in trends. Walking around different stores I noticed it right now and now my wardrobe is full of drawstring details. Including the black midi skirt that I bought in Stradivarius.
The midi skirt I bought has split on one side with the drawstring details, revealing leg. I was searching for a skirt that has a split because I always search for new details that make me look longer than I am (a short girl here).
Drawstring details make it look even more stylish and gives extra detail. The skirt itself is very thin and shiny material. We will see how the washing goes. The midi-skirt goes perfectly with any bodysuits or some lovely sleeveless top in bright colors!
Ruched black midi-skirt $29.90
Lilac bodysuit
I have wanted to try out bodysuits for a very long time. Since I discovered that it is not just a top with a button between your legs. But it is swimwear material that makes you look great without wearing a bra. That made me want to get as many bodysuits as possible. Because for my D size it is a perfect match. Bodysuits are basic essential except this one because it is lilac. Or at least the one I bought (it was also in black).
I did not hear that lilac would be in trend right now but I have noticed that. Everywhere I went, I saw jackets, sweaters, joggers, and bodysuits in lilac tone. I was surprised at first but fell in love later on. Lilac is in this pastel tone and pastels are great to add color to your outfit while giving luxurious business lady vibes.
Anyways, I did not imagine that bodysuit can feel so comfortable. It almost feels like I would be naked without being naked. And with the midi-skirt from Stradivarius looks perfect!
Basic bodysuits (multiple colours) $19.90
Basic t-shirts
Stradivarius is always one of the TOP places to shop for basics. Especially if we are talking about tops and T-shirts. They have a lot of basic tops in many colors as well as graphic or simple T-shirts. If you need to stock up, then Stradivarius is the place to go.
Short sleeve T-shits (multiple colours) $17.90
Sweatpants
This year, I needed new sweatpants. Quarantine made me lose even more weight than I usually did and I am shocked but happy. When I saw these cute sweatpants in Stradivarius and after trying them on, I had to buy them. Let’s start by the fact that they have this wide elastic band on the waist part. I like it when the band is wider because it looks at the pants to look more flattering. Then I was obsessed with this nude tone that goes great with everything.
And last but not least, softness. Ladies, these sweatpants are so comfortable and soft that when I wore them in camping, I did not want to take them off!
Vanilla sweatpants (multiple tones) $19.90
I HAVE ALMOST BOUGHT
I wanted to do a shoutout to a few fashion pieces in Stradivarius that I want or have almost bought but never did. Mostly because of the reason that I do not need it at the moment, or they were not my style or my size. However, they are of high quality and worth the shoutout!
Shoes, boots
Firstly, I wanted to mention the beautiful shoes and boots they have. I always try someone and look at them wondering if buy or not. I saw the most beautiful black with gold buckle boots. But to be honest, I have one similar so I did not end up buying. The other pair were knee-high boots and those, unfortunately, were not my size.
Over the knee black boots $39.99
Trendy jeans
If you are into trendy and interesting jeans, then I suggest you check out Stradivarius. They have the cutest boyfriend or mom jeans. However, I am more into simple, skinny jeans. They look the best on my body and I have found a few brands that fit me perfectly. But it is in trends to wear these fun designed jeans so if you love it, go ahead!
Mom fit jeans $29.90
Straight-leg jeans $45.90
Sweaters and hoodies
Stradivarius has the widest range of cute hoodies and sweaters. Hands down and I Stand by that. I could not stop looking and trying on different jumpers the last time I was there.
Right now it is in the trend to wear a tennis skirt or cycling shorts with baggy hoodies on. So if you are looking for some, you will find in Stradivarius, no doubt!
Cropped tie-dye sweatshirt $25.90
Harward sweatshirt $29.90
Basic hooded sweatshirt $25.90
Dresses
Stradivarius also has a different type of dress- basic, classy, boohoo type as well as 90’s! 90’s high school style returns! And one of the pieces is silky, basic mini dresses on tiny straps. Very cute and pretty. Gives me Rachel from Friends vibes.
Short satin dress $29.90
