The layered leather look
Wondering how to wear a leather blazer? Wonder no more. Mum and Instagram star Michaela (@graceandcoy) nails the look with this tonal spring outfit. The secret is all about mixing textures – forgo leather trousers for corduroy pants in this season’s must-wear shade (khaki) and slip on a comfy cotton T-shirt in a muted colour to tone down the leather blazer’s rock-star aesthetic. When temperatures rise, layer your chosen leather blazer over a floral midi dress, add some sandals and head out.
The spring sweater dress outfit
Meet the easiest way to balance the comfort of lockdown loungewear with the joy of being outside in the spring sunshine – the sweater dress. As seen on Brisbane native, Sonia (@sonish_space), this cotton-rich sweater dress is as comfortable as it looks. Take things from Netflix on the sofa to brunch with friends by adding a wide belt and a sleek pair of patent loafers.
The easy-peasy floral maxi dress
When it comes to spring/summer dressing, you can’t really go wrong with a pretty floral maxi dress. This Per Una ruffle-detail style, as seen on Traci Sheppard (@phoenixandtheocean) ticks a lot of boxes. Floral – tick. Wrap shape – tick. Longer length – tick. While the weather is still changing, wear the maxi dress with statement lace-up boots in camel then, come summer, chuck on some thongs or wedges. Already thinking about your Christmas day outfit? Commenters call this dress “the perfect Xmas day dress” and “a beautiful festive choice”.
The jeans-and-shirt update
Give the classic ‘jeans and a nice top’ look a summer 2021 upgrade with this lace-insert blouse from the new Per Una collection. Worn like a pro by Chloe (@our.peachy.days), this part timeless white shirt part prairie-trend-inspired blouse can easily be dressed up or down. Wear it like Chloe with relaxed denim, footbed sandals and a bum bag or swap in sleek cigarette pants or a floaty midi skirt for the return to work.
The striking summer party outfit
Steal the show at any special event this summer (hello, Christmas parties) with this statement-making look from Ash (@ashworethat). A slip dress is a staple in any wardrobe and this bridal chemise from Rosie, is a surprisingly versatile choice. Effortlessly stylish without compromising on comfort, the chemise is cut in a classic strappy regular fit design with a tie back and intricate French-designed lace detailing. A single-breasted black blazer toughens up the look and a pair of skyscraper heels signal it’s party time.
