Introduce a quintessential traditional feel into your everyday wardrobe with country checks and blooming wildflowers
Block party
Swap classic black basics for a more diverse colour palette – navy, dark green, and burgundy will liven up your outfit and won’t leave you looking washed out. For off-duty dressing made easy, an oversized coatigan thrown over a simple knit will keep you both warm and ultra chic.
Coatigan, R1 399, S to M, Zara. Knit, R599, XS to XL, Poetry. Pants, R2 595, XS to L, Tiger of Sweden. Shoes, R699, Call It Spring. Handbag, R6 945, Coach
In full bloom
A floaty, floral dress is a fashion failsafe, hides a multitude of sins, and won’t date from season to season. On cooler days, wear over a roll-neck knit to keep warm, without adding unnecessary bulk. Minimal accessories let the print take centre stage – think subtle gold jewellery and riding boots. Dress, R2 299, 6 to 14, Witchery at Woolworths. Knit, R999, S to L, Jo Borkett. Ring, R899, Folli Follie
Suits you!
Who says tailoring has to be boring? We’re loving how suiting can work for downtime by layering over a printed knit and teaming with trainers. The fabric of choice this season is corduroy – it’s in every store. Choose a colour that won’t date, such as blush pink, camel, or forest green – you’ll be wearing it for years to come. Blazer, R1 199, 6 to 18; pants, R899, 6 to 18; knit, R899, XS to XL, all Poetry. Earrings, R1 790; watch, R3 590; rings, R1 390 for set of three, all Folli Follie
