Longing to break out of your loungewear rut but haven’t put together an outfit more complicated than a hoodie and sweatpants since this time last year? The new Per Una collection is here to ease us back into wearing actual clothes again. Packed with pieces that can be worn together for fuss-free styling, the covetable collection includes elevated knits, easy-to-wear dresses, swishy skirts and pretty blouses. Channel the romantic mood as seen at Erdem by teaming a ruffled knit with a feelgood floral skirt. Pop a white lace blouse with a similarly ruffled neckline underneath to maximise the romance.
No longer a fashion faux pas, double denim has made a strong style comeback in recent years and with designers at Dolce & Gabbana and Alexander McQueen doubling down on the utility fabric as an autumn trend. This embroidered blue denim blouse with subtle ruffles ticks the trend for feminine denim and provides a cool contrast with your favourite high-waisted dark denim skinny jeans. Break up the denim with a classic brown leather belt and add a floral high-neck top underneath to keep you cosy.
The ease of an autumn dress combined with an uplifting mood of a floral print is an effortless way to boost your look even on the darkest days. With its bold flower print, lace trim, pin-tuck detailing, high neck and relaxed shape – there’s a drawstring to cinch it at the waist if you prefer – this navy floral midaxi is a standout style. Plus, it has pockets. Wear with your favourite sandals now, then swap in a pair of brown suede biker boots when temperatures drop.
