Well SPOTTED

A polka-dot print is as classic as it gets. To make it warm-weather-ready, swap monochrome for a soft butter yellow.

It’s all in the little details – the flattering empire shape and preppy collar keep this frock feeling fresh.

Power PAIRING

Give the two-piece a youthful spin with a cropped shirt. Don’t be afraid of the shorter length – the high-waisted trousers provide balance.

Cream accessories keep the look sophisticated.
