Dress better even in a rush!
Welcome to www.sarawhittle.com , a lifestyle and fashion blog designed for women who want to express confidence, strength, and style.
My Story
Hi, I’m Sara, a Fashion Designer and Image & Fashion Consultant with over a decade of experience helping women simplify their style and feel confident in what they wear.
My fashion journey began in 2010, when I earned a degree in Fashion Design, specializing in womenswear. I had the privilege of studying in England, where my passion for design truly came to life. During that time, I interned with visionary designers such as Ann-Sofie Back and Fred Butler — known for creating iconic accessories for artists like La Roux, Gossip, and Lady Gaga, including the unforgettable blue hat in the “Telephone” music video.
I also had the opportunity to assist Fred Butler during London Fashion Week, gaining valuable behind-the-scenes experience in one of the most creative and fast-paced environments in the fashion world.
Motivated by a desire to help women feel confident and visible, I went on to complete a Postgraduate degree in Image and Fashion Consulting in 2013.
Today, I combine my expertise in fashion design and personal styling to create effortless outfit solutions for busy women. My goal is to take the stress out of getting dressed by offering ready-to-wear ideas, styling tips, and five-minute outfit formulas that help women feel polished, elegant, and ready to take on their day.
If you’re looking for timeless style tips, capsule wardrobe ideas, or easy ways to elevate your everyday look, you’re in the right place.

Our Philosophy: Practical Elegance
At SaraWhittle.com, we define smart casual as the intersection between professional polish and everyday comfort.
We understand that your day may begin in a client meeting, continue at a construction site, and end at a networking event. Your outfit needs to move with you — effortlessly.
Our philosophy is built on three pillars:
- Functionality – Construction sites are not runways. Your clothes should be comfortable, practical, and aligned with safety standards.
- Confidence – Great style empowers you to lead, present, and stand tall — in meetings, on-site, and everywhere in between.
- Authenticity – We believe in individuality. Smart casual is not about blending in; it’s about defining your own version of professionalism.
Every article and outfit guide we create is designed to make women feel comfortable, capable, and chic — whether they’re reviewing blueprints or leading groundbreaking projects.
