Kefilwe Mabote dishes on her top fashion and beauty tips
Now that you have the DStv Content Creator Awards acknowledgment, do you think there is an added layer of pressure to stay on top of your game?
Own lane, own pace, own race is my motto, so I’m always grateful for a nod, but I’m also laser-focused on where I want to go. The conversation around pressure is more around the pressure for me to become more of who I am while embracing my growth and evolution. Always onwards and upwards.
When it comes to fashion, there are tips and tricks everyone uses. What would be three that you can share with others on how to up their style game?
- Dress for your body type: Understanding your body shape and proportions is key to dressing well. Find pieces that flatter your figure, whether it’s accentuating your waist, balancing your hips or elongating your legs.
- Invest in more timeless items over trendy one: Focus on purchasing more timeless, quality pieces that fit well, rather than fast fashion items that may quickly go out of style. This approach will help you build a cohesive, stylish wardrobe.
- Accessories can make or break an outfit: Add a statement piece of jewellery, a quality handbag, or a stylish hat to take your look from ordinary to extraordinary. Accessories can add personality and polish to any ensemble.
You are always travelling the world while looking amazing, how does the style globally compare to here at home?
The continuous globalisation of fashion creates a thin line between local and international trends but I think our different cultures are really what sets us apart in the way we incorporate modern designs to our traditional materials. These offer fresh inspiration and insights into global fashion trends.
What are your fashion must-haves?
Trench coat, jeans, white shirt, blazer, stiletto and, of course, a little black dress.
