"It sounds cliché, but there really is a lot of truth to it: if you invest in quality basics, premium materials and timeless designs, you're doing yourself a favour in the long run. By investing in a high-quality piece, you’re not just getting a new look for your best friend’s wedding, you’re also gaining a smart wardrobe essential you’ll enjoy for many years to come – even across seasons.”

"For a Village stylist, this may seem like kicking at an open door, but shopping in the Village is a very smart way to put together a sustainable ceremonial look for the entire family. At Maasmechelen Village, you can shop amazing high-quality pieces from international men’s, women’s and kidswear brands that don't get caught up in fast fashion, at prices of at least 30% - and often up to 60% - below the recommended retail price. It's the perfect way to complement your wardrobe with timeless investment pieces – and the occasional guilty-pleasure statement piece – for less."

"Add some pizzazz to last spring’s favourite slip dress or minimalist off-white suit and give your look a dazzling upgrade in no time. Statement earrings, fierce designer sunglasses, a shiny brooch, a colourful silk shawl, an eye-catching miniature bag...the possibilities are endless! The right accessories will work wonders to match your look to the occasion and your mood du jour."

Switch those beach waves and sun-kissed cheeks from your co-worker’s Easter brunch to a stylish updo and neon eyeliner for your cousin’s communion, et voilà: a different glam look takes your outfit to a whole new level, and conveniently diverts attention from the fact that you wore the exact same dress to both events…”
