take on floral prints, and a pretty cardigan is an ideal way to dress up a simple outfit,” says Virginia. “Suits are falling out of favour for workwear and women now prefer soft layers that look professional but are more comfortable and feminine.” The first floor is devoted to personal
shopping, with a wide range of beautiful special occasion outfits for weddings, graduations, christenings, royal garden parties or Ascot. “We believe it’s our fantastic service that sets us apart,” says Virginia. “We like to get to know our customers and they love the personal touch, which they wouldn’t experience at a high street store.” Whicketts also stocks a gorgeous
range of affordable accessories, with necklaces starting from £19 and soft pashminas in a range of candy colours from £25. With hats not so popular for formal events these days, Virginia says that women of all ages can add a wow factor to their special occasion outfit with a fascinator. More comfortable and affordable than a hat, prices of fascinators start at just £25 – and best of all, you don’t get hat hair! While the stock may be beautiful
and thoughtfully chosen, Virginia also believes her friendly staff gives Whicketts the edge too. “Our team – June, Sylvia, Elaine and Yvonne – all have different styles and personality, and we’re all a range of shapes and sizes too, which brings something different to the shop and each customer’s experience. Our aim is to make everyone feel special while they find the perfect outfit.” WL
