5 Fashion Tips We Learned from Margaret Zhang

Being your own boss may seem easy because you don't have to take orders from someone, but it will be hard because you'll have to make decisions even if you're not sure if you're making the right decisions. Even though you're the boss, even if you're on top, there's always room to grow. Be filled with the ability to improve.

There's this certain girl boss who can possibly fit everything she does into one day. She says she only gets about five hours of sleep a night, but it's what she does during the other 19 hours that counts. That's Margaret Zhang. 


Celebrating style, individualism and of course, accessibility, The SM Store just launched a special collaboration with digital artist and fashion personality Margaret Zhang, one of the most influential forces in fashion today. FashioniSM is a campaign that's fluid in intention; anything that fashion is to anyone, FashioniSM wants to be there.

Today we will be talking about how to mix and match clothing pieces to get the ultimate Margaret Zhang style. Her look's a little zany, a tad slouchy, perpetually just the sort of slightly undone that results in perfect chic. It's hard to describe, really, so allow us to try and show you some examples instead!


1. Invest in Basics 

Buying items that are plain and simple can go a long way. You can wear them again and again without people noticing. It all depends on how you mix and match them with different silhouettes. You can dress it up or down. For example, a white T-shirt paired with denim jeans for the day can transform into an outfit for a night out just by wearing a cool blazer. Accessories are also a big plus when it comes to styling basic pieces.


2. Masculine Dressing 

Margaret Zhang is the true master of masculine dressing. We noticed her wearing a suit and matching trousers all the time. It just looks so polished and elegant. It can also be styled laid back and tomboyish. We love how she styles masculine cuts with something feminine to balance it out. Like matching suits paired with strappy heels vs ankle boots. They look very different as a whole. It just goes to show that how you dress is how you express yourself.


3. Loves Layering 

Most of her outfits include blazers, jackets, or coats. Sometimes she even layers multiple coats at the same time. If you've been scrolling through her Instagram feed, you surely have seen this checked coat she's been sporting. She has styled them with just denim jeans, wide legged trousers, or a matching set. You'll never run out of options on how to rewear and layer outerwear.



4. Make a Statement

Wear statement shoes or heels all the time. She usually loves wearing pointed heels in most of her looks.


5. Experiment with your Creativity

Well, with Margaret Zhang, she always leaves us expecting nothing but the unexpected! If you're going to a night out, pair edgier stud- or zip-hardware styles in silver or gunmetal with more classic jewellery and dresses. It's far more interesting than the expected black clutch. You can also experiment with colors. Who would've known that a bold color like pink can look good with red? Thinking about it, it just seems so loud. But when you try them on, it's actually a nice combination. Don't be afraid to unleash your creative side!


FashioniSM is an ode to the urban free spirit, where everyday, department store finds and personal items are transformed into statement pieces. You just need to infuse your own voice into it.

Much love,
Candis & Daphne
