5 Wardrobe Essentials Your Closet Needs

Certain pieces of clothing will last a lifetime, so don’t focus on stuffing your closet with unnecessary items and pay attention to the essentials instead. Some trends will come and go, but certain pieces can be worn forever, and every closet must have the following:

A Fresh White Tee

This is a staple item everyone needs to have in their closet. You can dress it down or dress it up by wearing it with a pair of jeans or tucking it into a skirt. White tees are versatile and cool and can be worn day or night. This neutral item can be worn with anything because it will provide you with a clean canvas to work with, so you can use it as a layering piece or pair it with a bold print short or skirt. You can also wear a statement necklace over your white tee if you want to create more of a statement, so the possibilities are truly endless.

Little Black Dress

This is a classic item every woman should have because it serves as a go-to piece that you can wear forever. This dress will never go out of style, so you can reach for it anytime. Whether you have a cocktail party, daytime brunch or wedding, you can rely on this dress, which can be worn with flats or heels. Select a dress based on your body type as this will feel more flattering, and you will feel great as a result.

Jeans

This item is a must because you can wear it any day, any time. Just like the other items, you can dress them up or down by wearing them with a simple tee or fancy blouse. Jeans can also be worn with flats, runners or heels, so you can have fun with this piece as there are no rules involved. What’s great is that jeans come in so many different styles and washes, so select the one that is best for your shape, and you’ll be able to wear it all year round.

Knit Sweater

When the weather gets cooler, you will need something to keep you warm, and a knit sweater is perfect because you can wear it with pretty much anything. Whether you’re wearing jeans or a skirt, the perfect knit sweater will complete your look while helping you stay cozy.

Jean Jacket

This is a timeless piece that can be worn year after year. It’s the perfect layering piece that can really complete your overall look, and it’s a great piece to grab whenever you’re in a hurry. It’s a versatile jacket that can be worn throughout different seasons, so invest in one for your closet.

Crop Top | Free People Clothing

How to Wear a Crop Top

Crop tops are very trendy at the moment, and this style can be seen everywhere from street style influencers to runways. It’s a bold and fashion-forward trend that is both fun and stylish, and if worn correctly, it can be flattering for every body type. If you’ve never worn a crop top and are interested in trying out this wardrobe staple, there are a few tips you need to keep in mind so that you find the right style and length. It’s natural to feel nervous about wearing a crop top, but the following guide will help you find the perfect top you can wear whenever you want:

Determine a Suitable Length

Crop tops come in different lengths, and some reach just below the bra line while others go down to the belly button. Find the length you’re comfortable with, and remember that if you pair it with the right bottoms, any length can be suitable. Crop tops that land just above your natural waistline tends to be the most flattering for any body type, and highlighting the narrowest part of your torso will provide you with a sleek and slimming effect.

Choose the Right Fit

Consider the occasion as this will help with your decision. Tight crop tops will look great with a loose pair of pants or skirt but will also look great with a tighter bottom, although this would be better for a night out. Loose crop tops that are more relaxed look great with jeans or shorts, and this is ideal for daytime wear.

Prioritize Comfort

You need to feel comfortable with your outfit, so choose a crop top that makes you feel great. You need to feel both comfortable and beautiful and should not let anyone tell you otherwise. Try on different styles because you may be surprised with your preference and may find something new that is flattering for you. If you see a crop top that you really like, don’t be scared to try it on, and you can always balance your look with the right pants or skirt, so don’t forget to have fun.

When choosing a crop top, you also have to consider whether you want to keep your look casual or if you’re looking for an outfit for a night out. A relaxed crop top is always better for more of a casual look, and you can choose one that is solid or striped. You can even select a crop top that has a graphic design on it and can pair it with shorts or jeans. If you’re attending a party, a set would look great because the overall look will flow together nicely. If you’re going with a print top and bottom, make sure the prints match; otherwise, your outfit will clash.

Whether you’re looking for crop tops, skirts, pants or shorts, MAG Unique can help. We carry a beautiful selection of clothing and will help you find exactly what you’re looking for, so come and visit us today!

Ottoman Sweater

If you’re more adventurous with your style, you can even wear a turtleneck under a slip dress, as this will take your fashion game to a whole new level.

Cardigan

This, too, is a classic sweater that can be found in almost every closet. Lightweight cardigans are ideal when creating layered looks, but cardigan sweaters are perfect for the winter season. Cardigans have an open front that can be buttoned or zipped, although some cardigans have an open front style, so you’ll have choices with this type of sweater. Cardigans will provide you with warmth and will add dimension to an outfit. Additionally, it can easily be removed, so you don’t have to wear this layer all day long.

Poncho

This is considered a fun statement piece, and this style of sweater can have fun adornments like tassels.

How To Find Joggers That Flatter

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, styles have shifted to comfort over high fashion. Who said comfy clothes can’t be fashionable, though? The key to rocking your comfy clothes out and about is finding pieces that flatter you. When it comes to pants, joggers are the perfect pair for just about anything. Wear them to the gym, to run errands, or even dress them up for a brunch or casual dinner! Here is how to find the most flattering joggers for you.

Make Sure They Fit Well

The most flattering joggers you could wear are simply ones that fit! Well-fitted joggers will go down to your ankle and have a slim fit. You don't want your joggers to be too tight because that won’t be very comfortable, but too loose and you risk looking frumpy. When you’re online shopping, consult the sizing chart. Look to see what your size corresponds to and, if they fit big, small, or true to size. If you're shopping with a retailer like M.A.G. Unique, you can even send us a message with the icon in the corner asking about colours, sizing and any other fit-specific questions! Our associates are more than happy to make recommendations!

Choose A Good Colour

Part of finding any kind of clothing that flatters you is choosing the right colour honestly. Colours like black and grey are the perfect neutral tones that flatter pretty much everyone. Not to mention, black will allow you to look professional even while wearing the comfiest pants. Looking for more of a laid back look? Try a blue, pink, or even light pattern to make the pants more casual.

Make It An Outfit

Dress to impress with an entire outfit. Style your perfect joggers with a matching crewneck or hoodie to make the ultimate cozy fit! Most retailers, including M.A.G. Unique, offer matching sets like the acid wash crew and jogger combo. You can be certain that this set flatters everyone it’s on. Alternatively, throw on a plain t-shirt and spring jacket to make it a less casual, more done up outfit!

Now you know how to find joggers that flatter you, what are you waiting for? Check out our options online today! Looking for more style tips? Subscribe to our mail list and stay up to date with the latest fashions and deals! Plus, when you sign up, you get 10% off your next purchase!

Post-Pandemic Fashion: How to Transition Your Wardrobe From Couch to the Club

Post-Pandemic Fashion: How to Transition Your Wardrobe From Couch to the Club

“Will I ever wear heels again?” - A question a lot of us have asked ourselves during the past year and a half. It’s no surprise that the pandemic has greatly impacted the fashion industry, and since we’ve all been stuck at home with no place to go, our leggings and loungewear collection has doubled (well, let’s be honest - more like tripled). 

Oversized t-shirts, sweaters, and baggy dresses have become the new “work” {from home} attire, and a night out on the town which used to be full of glitz and glamour now means strolling the aisles of the grocery store because it’s the only thing open past 5 p.m.

But what happens in a few weeks (fingers crossed), when things start to open back up, and all you have is a closet full of comfy casual wear? Don’t worry, we have the ultimate solution to help you transition your current wardrobe into one that’s worthy of your next dinner date (oh, how we miss those!)

LA-based fashion brand, Cali Dreaming is clothing that you can wear every day post-pandemic to look incredibly fashionable and still feel like you’re wearing your favourite at-home loungewear. Each piece in the Cali Dreaming collection that we carry is machine washable and is made from the most luxurious, silky, and flowy material, making it the perfect transition wardrobe from the couch to the club.

We’ve hand-picked a few of our favourite pieces from the Cali Dreaming collection that can be dressed down for staying at home or styled up for dinner and drinks. Dust off those heels and start making room in your closet for some dressier or dare we even say it, vacation pieces, ladies - because the lockdown is almost over and you probably have nothing to wear!  

Womens Joggers

Tie-Dye Cali Dreaming Jogger

Tie-Dye has made such a huge comeback, and we are here for it. These incredible silky, lightweight joggers make such a statement, but don’t waste

them sitting at home on the couch. Style these gorgeous high-fashion joggers (yes, that’s a thing now, thanks to COVID-19) with a solid colour button-down shirt or bodysuit and a pair of killer heels for evening cocktails on the patio. If bold colours and patterns aren’t really your thing, we also carry these gorgeous joggers in olive green, for a more versatile look.  

Women's Activewear

The Ace Cali Dreaming Shirt

More than just your average button-down, this 100% cotton, mandarin collared shirt is loose and forgiving but still offers a tailored look. Tuck this gorgeous shirt into jeans, denim shorts, or even your favourite pair of stylish joggers for a comfy yet, perfectly styled going out look. This would also make a great shirt to take on vacation (we know you’re just itching to book those flights, girl!) as a modern bathing suit cover-up. Comes in two gorgeous colours, navy and olive. 

Workout Clothes For Women

The Town Cali Dreaming T-Shirt

Who doesn’t love a perfect white t-shirt? It goes with everything and is an absolute staple in any wardrobe. Cali Dreaming took the basic white tee to the next level and elevated it with elegant details like rolled sleeves, raw hem neckline, and super flattering slide splits on either side. trust me, you won’t be wearing this to sit at home and watch Netflix (although, it’s cozy enough to!). Pair this gorgeous summer tee with jeans, a maxi skirt, or a pair of stylish joggers to feel totally put together for your first post-pandemic outing.

Celebrate M.A.G. Unique’s One Year Anniversary!

Unique fashion for the free-spirited, out-going, creative woman.

 

The year 2020, was memorable for a variety of reasons (where do we even start?) - but, for the owner of M.A.G. Unique, it will always be known as the year she took a big risk to pursue her passion.


Our boutique’s founder and boss-babe, Marilena, comes from an extensive background in the beauty industry. So, it was a natural progression to devote ourselves to empowering women and helping them find their confidence through fashion. Beauty comes from within, but when you feel great in your own skin, that confidence can light up any room.


M.A.G. Unique turns one this month, and we wanted to take this opportunity to share our brand story with you. (and maybe even a special offer if you read all the way to the end!

What’s in a name?

 

One of the top questions we always get asked is: “What does M.A.G. stand for?” 

 

Well, in true momtrepreneur fashion, owner Marilena wanted her brand to incorporate her number one support group, her kids. 

 

I have 3 very different, very unique children. My eldest is 15yrs (Mosé), middle is 12yrs (Angelina) and my little firecracker is almost 2 (Gaetano). Hence the name, M.A.G. Unique”

-Marilena 

Fashion AND Function

 

M.A.G. Unique came to fruition, after hours of searching the depths of the internet for organic, high-quality clothing for her youngest son who was born with really bad eczema. The fibres we put on our bodies can make a big difference in how we feel, especially if you suffer from skin irritation.  

 

Big advocates of fashion quality, over quantity, we truly believe that having pieces in your wardrobe that are not only versatile, but higher-quality staples that make you feel amazing every time you wear them, is more valuable than having a closet overflowing with lesser quality, trendier styles. Having said that, we are the experts is mixing colours and high-quality fabrics to help you create your own unique style. It’s our passion by design and the key to building a capsule wardrobe. 

 

Real Clothing on Real Women


In keeping with the theme of instilling confidence in women, we want to make sure that our shop is always size inclusive. The brands we carry (such as Free People, and Daub + Design), are designed for REAL women. Whether you are curvy, slender, or athletic, these brands have something for every shape. 

 

Being able to put together different looks for all shapes and sizes was something that was very important to us. Even the woman that we showcase on our social pages, are real, everyday women (moms, fitness fanatics, fashion influencers etc.) Other than having the same impeccable taste in high-quality fashion, there are no two alike!

 

Buyer AWARE

 

With our customer’s needs always at the forefront of everything we do, we are constantly researching brands that are the best fit for our customers, so we can vet them on your behalf. This is so you can feel confident with every purchase and know that you’re going to receive only the highest quality pieces from M.A.G. Unique. We do the leg-work behind the scenes (ie. calls, emails, online research, gathering samples), so that you can look and feel your best with just one easy click *Add to cart*

 

Another important factor for us, was being able to offer our customers FREE shipping. On ALL orders. ALWAYS. Who likes paying for shipping? Not us, and certainly not you. Each purchase ships free, worldwide. Period.

(*international orders minimum $200.00*)



M.A.G. Unique’s goal was to improve the online shopping experience for women, which couldn’t have been better timed, with COVID-19 restrictions forcing everyone to shop online. If you’re unsure of sizing, quality or fit, we are just one message away! We always encourage our customers to send us questions, we’re here to help and make sure you’re getting a personalized shopping experience.

M.A.G. Unique – Making The World A Better Place One Wardrobe At A Time ( Featured In MaturingMama.com)

On December 16, 2020  M.A.G. Unique was featured on the maturingmama.com website.

Meet Marilena Fanelli, owner of M.A.G. Unique. This fashionable and health-conscious mom of 3 was inspired to open her clothing store by her children. Sadly, her youngest son was born with eczema, so the poor guy was always uncomfortable and itchy. She found that she had to be incredibly careful in picking out his clothing, as not all clothing is as “all-natural” as it is claimed to be. Her experience got her thinking about what she could do to help others find high-quality clothing at a good price. This began her mission to find clothing for women with quality and unique style in mind.

Marilena is incredibly selective when choosing the brands she works with. She looks for a good connection with the designers, excellent quality, pricing, and if they give back to their communities in any way. Working with brands Free People, Shine the Light On, DU/ER Women, Cali Dreaming, Daub and Designs, and Malalovebymary; Marilena has been blown away by their quality and their mission to contribute to specific causes that are close to their hearts

Marilena’s goal is to support Canadians in the fashion industry by finding more Canadian brands to sell in her store, and to grow as an online business while also helping others. She has found that the most satisfying part of her job is when customers send her messages of gratitude, as well as knowing that by selling these products she is helping her brands with their contributions. By carrying brands that raise awareness and give back to communities, Marilena is doing her very best to make the world a better, more stylish place, one wardrobe at a time.
