Bus-Stop Fashion

It always comes back to the same old question: What do you wear if you’re doing something really casual? Where is the distinction between fancy and simple? And most importantly, what do you wear at the bus stop?

The simple truth is that your heels and short dress can be very embarrassing as you step onto the bus. You stumble, the wind blows your dress up, it splits while you’re managing the large gap drivers always seem to leave between pavement and bus. You can, of course, wear your old trainers and carry your heels in a plastic bag, but we’re looking for better alternatives.

As of yet, we've found that the best (and easiest) method is to go for the dressed down chic – chunky doc martins may not seem the ideal partner to a lovely dress or those cool roll-ups you just bought, but go ahead, try it – you’ll be surprised at what the outcomes can be. 

And here’s our Top Tip: Next time you’re bored waiting for the bus, have a go noting down what everyone is wearing – business style? Laid back? Wrapped up in thick rain-jackets? And then (here comes the important bit) think of how you would change the outfit to make it dead fashionable. It’s not as easy as you might think, and varies with both time and bus-stop location. But one thing is guaranteed – seeing that the bus is only due in 14 minutes will (hopefully) never be boring again for all you fashionistas!
