Step-by-Step Guide
-
Step 1: Do your research!
The 'Sloane Ranger' originated in Chelsea, London so I would advise you to commute there, check out the local boutiques and get a sense of the atmosphere.
If you live too far away, you can simply do some research over the Internet, and see some photos or read some articles on Sloanes. -
Step 2: Save up!
To dress like a Sloane you are going to need a fair amount of money, so I suggest starting a savings account or putting your money in a money box.
Saving your money will allow you to prioritize what you need, and teaches restraint so start saving! , Once you've saved up some money, Hit the high-street and spend those pounds.
Teenage Sloanes usually shop at Jack Wills, Hollister, Abercrombie and Fitch,Lacoste, UGG Australia & Hunter.
You also want to buy a pashmina scarf, no Sloane is ever seen without one! These stores are rather pricey, but the quality is good and you'll have to spend a little extra to achieve that Sloane look. , During the day, a typical Sloane girl would be seen in a Jack Wills hoodie, paired with some skinny jeans from Abercrombie and Fitch and a pair of Uggs.
Gilets from Jack Wills are also a must for the winter months and a pashmina.
A big leather bag is also ideal to carry your stuff. , A Sloane girl usually sports a messy bun with a 'comb over' style fringe to add volume.
Hair should be kept poker straight or use some mousse and a 1 inch (2.5 cm) curling iron to add some beachy waves.
Makeup should also be as neutral as possible using warm tones on the eyes and a powder to control shine on the T zone area.
Lips should always be kept a light nude pink colour and maybe a berry colour in the night.
NO eyeliner should be used unless it's brown, Sloane girls are known to keep their faces looking as natural as possible. , Sloanes are not known to smell so don't.
Shower once a day and wash your hair every other day.
Use deodorant, and body spray during the day to stay fresh, and spritz some perfume.
I would recommend Miss Dior Cherie or Chanel Chance for the night, and Lacoste touch of pink for the day time, as it is a light preppy scent that is appropriate for school. , Try to be as cultured as possible, go to art exhibits read about different cultures and nations, and if possible TRAVEL.
Learning another language is also vital such as French.
A Sloane is always known to be smart so study, and get good grades in exams. , Just because you're a Sloane doesn't mean you have to brag about your clothing.
Remain humble and answer to compliments with a healthy ' Thank you'.
This will not only give you a good image, but will give you a good reputation amongst other Sloanes. , Go out! go to parties and socialize.
If someone doesn't particularly like you, be the bigger person and don't make a scene or start a fight as that is not lady-like, but stay out of their way it's there loss! Be kind, use humour when appropriate and flirt! who knows you might just get a Sloane boyfriend. -
