Country chic
Kick back on weekends in soft and feminine separates that let you dress down in style.
A pair of comfortable, slouchy trousers make a cool alternative to not-so-glamorous tracksuit
bottoms – team them with a floral chiffon shirt, and snuggle up in a warm oversize cardigan
when the mercury drops. Wellies are must for country walks and garden activities: ours have
been given an update with large silk ribbons, making them both functional and pretty.

the classic fabric to your work and city wardrobe. Think tailored elegance rather than Miss
Marple, like this sharp, cropped jacket that’s smart without being too formal. Pair it with a
chiffon top and tapered jeans to bring it right up to date and throw on some short biker
boots for edge and practicality.

Perhaps Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming re-interpretation of The Great Gatsby is giving fashion
jazz age fever, because pretty pearl-encrusted dresses with a 1920s edge are having quite
the moment. This black number with delicate embroidery ticks all the boxes for the perfect
party frock – and what better shoes to go dancing in than twenties-inspired ankle strap
heels that won’t come flying off mid-shimmy?
