This week’s edit: capsule wardrobe
A co-ordinated trio is the ultimate shortcut to effortless style – think a faux-leather jacket, matching short-sleeve shirt, and a modern mini in a unique basket-style weave, all designed to work seamlessly together. As Mel puts it, “this is the kind of thing you see coming down the Milan catwalk,” but it’s been made wearable for everyday.
Each piece can be styled solo or worn as a set, giving you endless outfit options without overthinking it – exactly what a capsule wardrobe is all about. The full look comes in at under £130, offering a considered way to invest in pieces you’ll wear again and again.

Episode 29: spring gingham
Gingham is this season's must-have print – taking over tops, dresses, hats and more. Start with a classic gingham shirt in soft pastel blue or a vivid red and white combination. Pair with a pair of light-wash jeans in a breezy, wide-leg fit. If it's a little chilly, throw on a denim collarless jacket for warmth to show off the neckline of the shirt.
This week's Mel Made Me Do It is this holiday-friendly checkerboard bucket hat. It's fun and bold styled with a simple white linen top, plus it's easy to pack in your bag for travel.
Episode 28: boho revival
Mel's taking it back with all things boho this week – think free-spirited florals, ruffles and lace. To get started, look for a light and soft colour like this butter yellow top. Layer a loose waistcoat with an effortless tie front over a lace or ruffled top and pair with a flowy denim maxi skirt.
This week's Mel Made Me Do It features these easy, breezy ballet flats. The crochet-style material is super lightweight, allowing your feet to breathe – a much-needed relief in the warmer months or long days spent at festivals.
Episode 27: transitional dressing
As we transition from wet and windy weather to sunny skies, this time of the year is all about light layering. Snag Mel's favourite satin bomber jacket with an on-trend funnel neck and pair with neutral trousers for a subtle contrast.
Always a practical option, our timeless all-season trench coat is a must-have. Mel layers this wardrobe staple with a breathable cotton T-shirt and a chunky, knit jumper finishing with a smart pair of leather loafers. For a deeper colour, opt for our rich caramel longline trench, made from pure cotton, from our premium Autograph collection.
