Bridget Bell of Style Ambition Styles the TechStretch Pants, Shirts & Dresses by Leina + Fleur
Styling for Real Life: Our Collaboration with Bridget Bell
We recently partnered with the incredibly talented Australian stylist Bridget Bell, founder of Style Ambition, to showcase our latest collection in a fresh and wearable way. Bridget is known for her down-to-earth yet polished styling approach, helping women feel empowered and confident in their own skin. Her specialty lies in creating effortless, capsule-style wardrobes that work across all areas of life—work, weekends, and everything in between. With her passion for flattering fits and timeless design, we knew she was the perfect stylist to highlight our latest TechStretch Pant Collection, designed for women sized 8–24. We also invited her to style our ultra-lightweight, easy-care Terry and Ellis shirts and our latest Cosmic Animal Print pieces. Our goal was to create a transitional capsule wardrobe—pieces you can dress up or down, that move effortlessly from the desk to dinner and beyond. Bridget’s keen eye for detail and practicality made her the ideal creative mind to bring this vision to life.
TechStretch Meets Effortless Style: Shirts + Pants, Done Right
Bridget styled our Terry and Ellis shirts with a variety of silhouettes from our TechStretch Ponte Pant Collection, including the Straight, Bootleg, and Wide Leg Pants. She began with the Terry Shirt in Jewel and paired it with our Straight Leg Pant in Black, loving how the shirt could be tucked or untucked and how the fabric draped beautifully. She also experimented with Plum and Graphite tones, finding each versatile and wearable throughout the day. She highlighted how the Straight Leg Pants are incredibly comfortable—with pockets and a fit that sits away from the body.
For another look, she paired the Terry and Ellis Shirts with the Wide Leg Pant in Charcoal and the Wide Leg Pant in Wine, opting for sleek black heels and minimal accessories. The Wide Leg cut, she noted, is structured with a high waistband and fitted pockets, yet offers more flow and drama. For a relaxed evening look, she styled the Garcia Jackets with simple top and Skinny Leg Pant in Black, she added gold earrings and a simple necklace—effortless elegance at its best.
From Polished to Feminine: Skirts and Dresses with Impact
Moving into more feminine styling, Bridget paired our Asher Skirt in Claret with the Terry Shirt in Plum, cinching it in at the waist with a slim black belt. The look is elegant yet practical, and Bridget loved that the Asher Skirt is a no-iron piece—perfect for busy days when you still want to look polished. She finished the look with black heels and long gold earrings for a sophisticated office-to-dinner vibe. Next, she turned her attention to our showstopping Fiona Wrap Dress in Cosmic Animal, styled with both a classic Garcia Jacket in Black and a Petrol alternative. Bridget shared that this wrap dress is universally flattering thanks to its thoughtful cut, fitted armholes, and soft movement. It also features pockets and a fully adjustable neckline—ideal for shaping to your comfort. Her styling tip? Tie the waist sash on the side where the dress wraps to follow your body’s natural line and elongate your shape. Whether you're heading to a meeting or a dinner party, this pairing brings polish, personality, and versatility.
