Brand Tone

Aspirational & Trendy, Confident & Bold, Direct & Visually-Driven, Approachable & Community-Oriented (Subtly)

Brand Values

• •Style & Individuality
• •Confidence
• •Modernity & Trend-Awareness
• •Quality (Implied)
• •Accessibility to Fashion

Best Practices

• •Develop a Brand Voice Guide: Clearly document the brand's tone (e.g., "Confident, Chic, Aspirational, with a touch of Boldness"), key adjectives, and a "do's and don'ts" list for language. Share this with anyone creating content.
• •Focus on "Her": Write copy that speaks directly to the target customer and her aspirations. Use "you" and "your" to make it personal. Think about how the clothes make *her* feel – confident, stylish, ready to take on the world.
• •Let Visuals Lead, Words Enhance: Since the brand is highly visual, ensure the copy complements and elevates the imagery, rather than just describing it literally. Use evocative language that paints a picture of the lifestyle or feeling associated with the clothes.
• •Stay Current, But Timeless in Essence: While highlighting trends, ensure the core messaging of confidence and individual style remains consistent. Avoid slang or overly casual language that might quickly date the brand or undermine its chic aesthetic.
• •Consistent Calls to Action: Use clear and consistent calls to action that align with the brand's directness (e.g., "Shop Now," "Discover the Collection," "Define Your Style"). Ensure they are empowering and enticing.
