These pieces do more than just fill your closet – they inject energy, creativity and confidence into your daily fashion choices.

Styling Statement Pieces for Work
When it comes to the office, the goal is to stand out without going too far outside of professional boundaries. You want your statement piece to say a lot but still work with the rest of your outfit.
Example: A structured blazer in a bold print or colour can be the perfect focal point. Pair it with black trousers and a white top to balance the look and let the blazer be the star. If you choose colourful pants instead, keep the rest of your outfit neutral and structured – think a tucked in white blouse and low heels. Add subtle accessories that complement not compete with your statement piece.
At Mauve Shoppe we carry essentials workwear that pair perfectly with statement pieces. Need help putting it together? Our team is always here to help you style your whole look. Imagine this: you slip a bold graphic knit sweater into high waisted jeans and finish with sneakers or ankle boots. Easy but impactful. Or let a patterned skirt shine by pairing it with a simple tee and a leather jacket. An embellished denim jacket over a sundress or jogger set adds a stylish touch without sacrificing comfort.
Don’t forget: accessories count too. A fun hat or statement earrings can be the cherry on top of a casual-chic outfit. At Mauve Shoppe our walls are lined with accessories that add personality to even the most laid back outfits.
Dressing Up for Events
When you’ve got a wedding, date night or a girls’ night out to prepare for, these are the moments where your statement pieces can really shine. This is where you can be bold, glamorous and 100% you.
Take for example a classic black mini dress like the one pictured here. You could also try a trending seasonal color, something metallic or covered in sequins for something special.
Let it be the star of the show by keeping your shoes and bags simple so your whole look feels elevated and intentional. A sophisticated noir jumpsuit in black or something similar in a jewel tone with minimal jewelry and a soft clutch can deliver drama and elegance. For bolder look, style a tulle skirt with a fitted top and structured blazer to balance volume and polish.
Looking for something that feels both on trend and timeless? Mauve Shoppe carries a range of statement pieces that blend on trend flair with quality construction – pieces you’ll reach for again and again.
Mix & Match: Incorporating Statement Pieces into Your Wardrobe
The beauty of a well chosen statement piece is its versatility. You don’t need a separate wardrobe for every part of your life. Instead build around your bold items with versatile essentials that allow you to transition from work to weekend to event with ease.
Start with essentials like classic denim, crisp white tops, black trousers and layering knits. Add a few key statement pieces that reflect your personality: a bold blazer, a printed midi dress or a colourful handbag. Rotate the statement pieces in and out to keep your style fresh and exciting.
Think of your wardrobe like a canvas. Your essentials are the backdrop and your statement pieces are the brush strokes that bring it all to life.
Color, Texture and Detail: What Makes a Statement Piece Pop
When shopping for statement pieces look for rich textures, bright colors, unique cuts or unexpected details. These are the elements that make an item stand out, hang beautifully on the body and turn heads without trying too hard.
Play with shades in the same color family for a bold monochrome moment. Don’t be afraid to mix textures—like a silky blouse with a leather skirt. Choose statement jewelry that can elevate even your most basic tee. Look for pieces with movement—fringe, ruffles or pleats—to bring your outfit to life.
Every rack at Mauve Shoppe is filled with items that not only look good on the hanger but also feel amazing when worn. We believe the best fashion pieces aren’t just stylish—they make you feel like your best self.
Tips for Finding the Perfect Statement Piece
When shopping for a statement piece ask yourself these questions: Does it make me feel confident? Can I style it in at least three different ways? Will it add something unique to my wardrobe?
Take your time and don’t be afraid to try something new. Sometimes the most unexpected pieces are the ones you end up hanging onto for years.
Tips for Styling Statement Pieces
- Less is more – Let one piece shine. If you’re wearing a statement necklace keep the rest of your jewelry minimal.
- Match your statement piece to the occasion – A bold necklace may work for a formal event while colorful sneakers make sense for a casual outing.
- Balance proportions – If you’re wearing a voluminous printed skirt opt for a fitted top to create a balanced silhouette.
- Confidence is key – The best way to pull off any statement piece is to wear it with confidence! Mauve Shoppe – where fashion is fun, confidence is key and style is a part of you. Shop in-store or online today!
