Investing In Timeless Garments

There is a saying in the fashion world that states, “Fashion trends come and go, but great style lasts forever.” These inimitable words are so true when it comes to investing in timeless pieces for your wardrobe. While fashions may change from one year to the next, at #Fbo, we recommend having a few high quality, well-tailored and timeless garments in your wardrobe so that you will never be in a situation where you feel you have nothing to wear.S.

A timeless fashion piece can be described as something that has stood the test of time and continues to be an integral part of any fashionista’s wardrobe. Such garments are considered essential and are also great investments as they are usually comfortable, classy, and never go out of fashion.

 

So, what are items that can be considered as timeless, and is it worth investing in them? Let’s take a look at some essential fashion items that everyone should own!

The classic white shirt is the first essential item that every man or woman should have in their wardrobe. Invest in good quality, white cotton shirts, and you will have something to pair with your smart trousers, jeans, office suite, or maxi skirt. They also look great when accessorised with a necklace or scarf.

 

A denim jacket may have been around for decades, but it is still considered a vital part of anyone’s wardrobe. Need something to throw over your shoulders for that casual yet sophisticated look during a weekend outing? Well, the denim jacket is just the thing as it gives you a versatile Pimkie Rawhour Denim Jacketsmart-casual look with minimal effort. When in stock, our denim jackets are very well-priced, excellent quality, and surprisingly inexpensive.

 

 

A tailored pair of black trousers is one of the most versatile garments any woman can own. When paired with a smart shirt and jacket, you have a sophisticated and smart corporate outfit. On the other hand, your favorite black trousers can be teamed with a trendy t-shirt and your signature denim jacket for a stylish weekend, casual look. They will also be there for you when you need to attend a cocktail party, funeral, or dinner party.

 

Another fashion essential that every lady should have on hand is a little black dress. This iconic fashion item was created back in the 1920s and has never gone out of fashion. Make sure you have one in your clothing arsenal. At #fbo, there is always a selection of little black dresses to choose from.Maje Rivy Sequin Dress

 

 

Shoes should never be overlooked, and investing in a quality and comfortable pair of shoes will be an excellent investment. Men should consider a shiny pair of black leather shoes that can be worn with a suit, chinos, or jeans. A pair of great-looking, smart heels should also be in any women’s wardrobe for the office, the weekend, and everything in between. Ladies, you can never have too many pairs of shoes!

 

While you may own several pairs of jeans, if you own a pair of high-end, form-fitting jeans that make you look and feel great, then probably don’t need anything else when it comes to jeans! These will stand the test of time and will see you through casual Fridays at work and on shopping trips to the mall over the weekend!

 

Need to invest in some classic garments? Visit any of our #Fbo #brandoutlets or check us out at www.fboonline.co.za today to shop for high-end brands like S.Oliver, Zero, Pretty Little Thing, Miss Sixty and many more. A worthwhile purchase, especially at #brandoutlet prices.

One of these ways includes shopping at our #fbo #brandoutlets, especially when we are having a sale as the opportunities for saving are endless! This article will discuss how to effectively shop at our #outlets while, at the same time, taking advantage of our seasonal sales.

Summer Sale Don't miss out

Oh, and just a little FYI, We are having a 50% off all clothing sale from 14 February to 1 March 2020. Don’t miss out on our fabulous savings.

 

The key to shopping at an #fbo #brandoutlet is to know where you will find the best bargains. This includes being aware of what is stocked at our various #outlets.

We also offer free delivery on orders over R1000 when you shop at #fboonline.co.za, making your shopping experience incredibly convenient.

 

Many folks do not know this, but the day you shop can affect your outcome and overall experience. #Outlet shopping early on in the week (usually on a Monday or Tuesday) increases your chances of finding something special as the stores often restock on these days. In addition, early weekdays are generally less busy and crowded, so your shopping experience could be a much better one.

 

Immediately after a big holiday is also when outlet stores often have great sales to attract the crowds. Bear in mind, though, that these shopping days can be extremely busy and if you really want to take advantage of their great prices, plan on arriving as soon as the #outlet store opens. Luckily, with #fboonline, you don’t have this problem, and you can shop online from the comfort of your own home.

 

Before taking out your credit card to pay for your sales items, take a look at the store’s return or exchange policy. Sometimes #outlet stores do not allow refunds or exchanges on heavily discounted goods, so you may need to be certain that you really love an item before taking the plunge.

 

Outlet shopping is a popular way to stock up on clothing and other items for yourself and the family. However, here at Fbo online, we advise making sure that you know when there will be a sale or special in order to get the most out of your hard-earned money!

Dressing for a job interview and looking good

Attending a job interview can be one of life’s most stressful situations so that’s why we have put together some tips and tricks on dressing for a job interview. At #Fbo, we understand that an interview is one of those rare occasions where your behaviour, appearance, and personality is intensely scrutinised, and you have to make an excellent first impression to be considered for the job ultimately.

As stressful as this may be, the good news is that if you know how to dress for a job interview, the battle is almost half won! The good news is that #Fbo has you covered, and we have some great tips for dressing for an interview – let’s take a look!

S.Olivier Ladies Long Sleeve Blue Dress

Human resource professionals recommend having at least one outfit permanently in your wardrobe that you can wear for an interview. In this way, you will not have to panic and frantically go shopping when you have an interview coming up.

So, what is acceptable to wear for an interview, and what is not? Well, first and foremost, whether you are a male or female, the goal is to go for a look that is deemed acceptable for the industry you are applying to join.

Let’s say you are looking to join a bank, a smart business outfit in a neutral color would be a fine outfit for the interview. Wearing a pantsuit in grey, back, or dark blue would probably be the safest option for men and women. Our #Fbo range caters to all these requirements, and we offer great prices, too.

 

Although your own personal style may not reflect the color in a neutral suit, bear in mind that you need to look professional and smart for an interview, and you could showcase your taste or love for flashy colors and bright hues, but accessorising your outfit with some colorful heels or a handbag.

Dressing for a gig in an agency or even if you want to stand out from the crowd, our #fbo #brandoutlets will have something for you to make your big impression. From blouses to more formal dresses, our #brandoutlets are always stocked with the most beautiful fashion items at unbelievable prices.

New Look Ladies High Heeled Pumps

Do not neglect the small details and make sure that your shoes are clean, shiny, and neat.

Accessories should be minimal and enhance, rather than detract from your overall outfit. Take a look at our FboOnline range of inexpensive yet classy accessories that you can wear to your interview. Keep makeup to a minimum, and make sure that your hair is clean and neatly brushed!

It is recommended that you should prepare for your interview a day or two beforehand by washing, dry cleaning, and ironing the clothing; you plan to wear. There is nothing worse than discovering that you have a stain or mark on the outfit you are planning to wear, and it is too late to do anything about it!

Personal hygiene is a critical element, so always ensure that you are well prepared and look the part. And remember, don’t go overboard on the perfume or aftershave.

Finally, remember that it only takes a few seconds to make an impression – good or bad- so making sure that your appearance is the utmost of professionalism and neatness will go along way in helping you to secure the job!

For a wide range of work-related attire, shop at any of our #brandoutlets or visit www.fboonline.co.za.

Dressing For Work On A Budget And Looking Good

Have you just entered the job market, or do you need to upgrade your corporate wardrobe? Shopping can be an expensive outing, but we have all the right things for you if you are shopping on a budget? If so, it can be shocking to see the prices of work clothing when you venture out to department stores. If this sounds like you? have a look at the #fboonline store, and you will be amazed at their prices, they are just as good as our #outlets!New Look Ladies Red Suede Heels

 

#Fbo is proof that an attractive working wardrobe that works does not have to break the bank, nor does it have to be extensive or complicated.

 

Unlike regular fashion, work attire does not vary much from year to year, and you can, therefore, keep a few favorite essential items for at least five years (assuming that your body size does not change too much). Do not be afraid to spend a little bit more on your wardrobe basics such as a pair of smart black pants, a few beautiful blouses, a jacket, and so on because high quality and signature clothing items should last you for at least a decade, if not more!

The most important thing to remember when buying clothing for your working wardrobe is to focus on a few key items that can be mixed and matched with other garments in your closet. #Fbo has a vast range of clothing that is both fashionable and timeless and will work in any working environment. Corporate or casual!

Experts recommend buying 4 or 5 pairs of neutral-colored skirts or trousers that can easily be paired with some smart shirts and tops. Then, you should consider investing in a few corporate suit jackets and one or two cardigans that will match your skirts, trousers, and tops.

Keep your look conservative, with neutral colors, low heels, and modest necklines so that you are always ready for whatever corporate life throws at you. #Fbo recommends that you try and avoid bright colors that are difficult to mix and match as these will not be good value for money.

 

Accessorising is also another great way in which to bring new life to a plain outfit. If you invest in a few inexpensive accessories such as scarves, statement earrings, and necklaces, you will be able to dress up and individualize any outfit. Jewelry does not have to be expensive, and we have inexpensive costume jewelry available for purchase at our #brandoutlets. You could also make your own costume jewelry if you are the creative type!

As you are still building your office wardrobe, be on the constant lookout for our regular sales and discounts. Fboonline also offers regular discounts and deals, so be on the lookout!Ladies Dark Orange Sleeveless Blouse

 

If you are really on a budget, then take the time to search through the rails at an #fbo #outlet. You might find a hidden gem here for a fraction of the original cost.

 

Building the perfect workwear wardrobe takes time, and if you are on a tight budget, keeping in mind that all you need are a few, good quality signature garments are definitely the way to go!

Valentine’s Day shopping at FBO

35% off all dresses at fbo

With Valentine’s Day coming up, you will no doubt already be thinking about the outfit that you are going to wear on this special day. While Valentine’s Day shopping can be expensive, confusing, and exhausting, the good news is that #fbo has you covered from start to finish!

 

Whether you are looking for an elegant dress to wear to impress your Valentine’s date or you simply need a stylish Valentine’s Day outfit for the office, make sure that you choose it carefully and thoughtfully. Here at #fbo, we have some great tips for you so that you can easily select what you need.

 

So, how can you make sure that your Valentine’s outlet shopping is worth your time and money? Well, first of all, you should be mindful that many shops hike up their prices on Valentine’s Day outfits in the run-up to the big day. However, if you can find an #outlet that keeps its prices low and constant throughout the year, half your work is done.

 

At #fbo, we value the relationship we have with our customers, and we, therefore, feel that it is unfair to inflate the cost of our clothing range just before Valentine’s Day. With us, in the run-up to Valentine’s Day, you can, therefore, benefit from the same great prices that we offer year-round! Plus, we are offering an additional 35% off all ladies’ dresses until 13th February 2020.

 

We also recommend shopping on www.fboonline.co.za, our online fashion #brandoutlet, it’s the same excellent outlet shopping experience but without the crowds. With our online outlet store, you can shop in the comfort of your own home, take as much time as you like, and shop at any time of day. So, say hello to a stress-free and relaxing shopping experience. The best part about shopping on #fboonline.co.za for Valentine’s Day is that we offer free shipping on orders of R1000 or more nationwide.

 

In terms of an actual outfit for Valentine’s Day, there is a rather specific color scheme, namely red, white and/or pink. Some people also enjoy wearing garments that have a heart-shaped or cupid pattern with the more classic “LBD” – little black dress. Obviously, the choice is entirely up to you and will depend on your own personal taste.

 

If you would like to make the most of your money, we always recommend buying a dress or outfit that you would be able to wear at other times during the year as well. For example, a classic red dress can not only be worn on Valentine’s Day but can also be worn for other occasions during the year. If red or pink is not your color, why not try a flowing white dress that you can pair with some pink or red accessories like shoes, a handbag, or a scarf.

 

We understand that you may not have a Valentine’s Day outfit in mind, and if you feel like you need a little inspiration, why not have a look at our superb range of ladies’ dresses. We will definitely have something for you.

 

If you are a guy, you can also enjoy dressing up for Valentine’s Day! We recommend that men pick out a novelty tie with a heart of cupid motif or even purchase a pair of love-themed socks for extra quirkiness! For those who are a little bolder, why not wear a red or pink shirt?

 

Of course, you should never neglect your shoes on Valentine’s Day as a great-looking pair of shoes can bring your whole outfit together and take it from zero to hero. Within our shoe range, you can choose anything from red heels to a classic pair of sexy black shoes that you can also wear after Valentine’s Day.

 

So, what will you be wearing this Valentine’s Day?

 

Well if you #myfbo on your social media pages and show us your valentines outfit you could WIN a shopping an #fbo voucher worth R500.00
