Whering’s Editorial and PR assistant, Florenne Earle Ledger, shares her colourful clashing wardrobe with us, touching on the importance of wearing clothes you’re drawn to, that make you feel like yourself.
Step inside her wardrobe with us.
Can you describe your style in 3 words?
Vibrant, fun and clashing
Why did you choose those words?
I think clashing because I enjoy clashing colours and patterns. I chose fun because to me fashion is fun, and I feel like it should be fun for everyone as a form of self-expression.
Tell us about the outfit you’re wearing right now
The outfit I’m wearing is what I would wear if I was going out with my friends like- “It’s Saturday night!!”. This jacket I really like because it’s warmish but it’s also not too hot if you want to wear it inside. The tights I think are quite cool, I really like them.
How has your style evolved?
I think my style has always been really colourful and really bright, but I feel like it’s changed in recent years. It’s grown up with me, but it’s still what it was when I first decided to embrace colours.
What does personal style mean to you?
I think personal style is all about wearing what makes you feel comfortable, happy and confident in your outfit and yourself. If I am not wearing something that’s my personal style then I don’t feel like myself.
What’s some advice you would give to someone looking to develop their personal style?
When finding personal style I feel like the main thing is to wear what you feel comfortable in. When you’re shopping and looking at clothes, just think about what you’re drawn to and what feels right to you.
Would you like to share more clothes with your friends?
I would love to borrow more of my friends’ clothes (even though I already borrow loads of their stuff anyway!) and they are always welcome to borrow anything of mine.
What’s one item of clothing you couldn’t live without?
One item I can’t live without is my Doc Martens. I just love them, I wear them every day. They are huge platforms and they go with everything.
Do you send outfits to your friends and ask for reassurance?
I don’t tend to send them outfits, but I will definitely ask my flatmates “What do you think?” . We all do that when we’re getting ready. We’ll all emerge from our rooms in our outfits and be like “Yes! Love it!”.
Do you like to shop alone or with friends?
I like to shop with friends because I think I need a bit of encouragement buying things. I’m always really indecisive- do I want this? Do I need this?
Do you have similar style to your friends?
I think my friends and I all have different styles, everyone’s got their own thing but I think we’re all kind of similar in our way but also quite different.
How has Whering helped you?
I think Whering has really helped me wear what I already have and look to my own wardrobe before I consider buying new. It’s good for finding new combinations from my current clothes.
