A Light Touch
Fairlady|May/June 2021
We’re countering the cold by layering lightweight fabrics and contrasting menswear-inspired pieces with feminine elements.
A Light Touch

SATIN UTILITY JACKET

A classic utility jacket gets a feminine makeover in satin. Layer it over a slip dress in a similar fabric or juxtapose it with a more structured outfit.

Gatria satin utility jacket (R3180) Ted Baker; satin slip dress (R429) H&M; handcrafted 18ct yellow-gold organic spun oval stone drop earrings (R2390) Kirsten Goss; Sybil textile sneakers in the colour graphite (R999) Trenery, Woolworths

STATEMENT WHITE SHIRT

A white shirt is a closet staple – but this one, with a dramatic pleated ruffle neckline, is anything but stock standard. To make the oversized fit more flattering, push up the sleeves and do a French tuck (just at the front) à la Tan France.

COSY COAT

We’re throwing the rulebook out of the window with this white piece – who says a coat has to be black, grey or navy? And while you’re at it, why not go for head-to-toe white? Pair the coat with white jeans and a neutral bodysuit for a polished look.

Coat (R699) Queenspark; hemp-andorganic-cotton Love Your Body-suit (R620) Asha Eleven; Yanet relaxed pants (R799) Poetry; ivory platform shoes (R1099) Country Road, Woolworths
