Start with a slinky dress
Not as bold as orange, but brighter than brown, rust is the perfect in-between colour for adding warmth to your summer wardrobe. If you're not sure where to start, look to a slinky satin dress. We love the form-flattering silhouette of Autograph's maxi design that lightly skims the body and falls to a sweeping hem. Note how the scooped neckline will flatter all figures. For those who prefer a looser, less dressed-up look, we recommend this linen beach dress with pretty bow shoulder straps.
By day, dress down your look with sandals and chunky jewellery for work or a brunch, then by night slip on kitten heels and add a clutch to dial up the elegance.
Make it a mini
So, your summer holiday's booked and now it's time to plan your outfits. Keep cool in airy crochet pieces like our knitted vest. Made to a chic longline length, it's perfect for styling as a mini dress. Just throw it on over a bikini for poolside lounging or beach-club drinks. We love to team ours with a straw hat, flip flops and a woven tote.
Looking for something a bit more covered up? Our vest and skirt co-ord is an elegant alternative that also gives you endless ways to mix and match.
Tops you can rely on
From casual weekend looks to smart work edits, elevate your everyday wardrobe with a simple vest top. We love Autograph's classic crew-neck design, with a fitted shape that highlights your figure without being too clingy. When it comes to styling, continue the earthy colour scheme by pairing it with dark olive Bermuda shorts or brown linen trousers. Why not try rounding off your look with simple sandals or ballet pumps?
Polish it off
If you're struggling to accessories rust pieces, look no further. When choosing a colour, complement the tones of your outfit by opting for gold jewellery or similarly earthy accents.
This season chunky, statement jewellery is all the rage, so look for bold beaded pieces to tap into the trend. Choose our long ceramic shell pendant to capture a beachy, boho feel. For those who want to keep to a minimalist aesthetic, we recommend picking dainty gold rings or hoop earrings for subtle shine.
When picking a handbag, supple leather or suede in shades of brown will bring texture and interest. This slouchy design from Autograph combines style with function: the chic, spacious shape allows you to store all your daily essentials.
