FUTURE-PROOF YOUR WARDROBE
WITH NEW-SEASON AUTOGRAPH
Update your wardrobe for spring with the new Autograph collection: contemporary designs plus premium fabrics equals pieces to love for a lifetime
Hero piece: the botanical-print midi skirt
With spring well and truly here and lockdown rules gradually relaxing, it feels as if the time is right to find the joy in getting dressed up again. The new Autograph collection features relaxed, one-step dresses and easy separates with wear-forever appeal, crafted from premium-quality fabrics: think pure silk, or Irish linen made using traditional methods. Give your wardrobe a sense of escapism with this beautiful bamboo-print linen midi skirt featuring a sarong-style tie that will lend your day-to-day wardrobe a relaxed holiday vibe. Just add an ivory silk T-shirt and smart sandals for a chic look that says summer is on the way.
HOW TO STYLE THE MIDI SKIRT
Hero piece: the hot pink floral dress
Punchy pink shades and feelgood prints were key themes of the spring/summer collections. This hot pink satin floral-print dress brings them together in one easy-to-wear design that nails spring’s optimistic mood. It’s a versatile style that can be worn with chunky boots or trainers now and barely there sandals soon. And when the time comes to return to the office, it will be a star player in your nine-to-five wardrobe. The colour also appears on an elegant pure silk blouse that pairs perfectly with our classic cropped leather trousers, a soft napa leather midi skirt or smart indigo jeans.
HOW TO STYLE HOT PINK
Hero piece: the white linen shirt
Like a pair of straight-leg jeans, a basic T-shirt or a black blazer, a white shirt is a versatile style staple with seasonless appeal. The best white shirts transition effortlessly from night to day and beach to city, looking just as good worn with tailored trousers as chucked over a swimsuit on holiday. Unexpected twists are an Autograph signature and we’ve given this classic white linen shirt a chic update with a detachable linen belt that can be tied at the front or back to create a more fitted silhouette. For an outfit that looks smart but feels laid-back, wear it with relaxed elasticated-waist linen trousers and classic white trainers.
