What are the best basics every woman needs in her wardrobe?

There are a few key pieces that every woman should have in her wardrobe. A well-cut, tailored blazer (or suit) will work for any number of professional or formal occasions, and can be styled in a variety of ways to evoke a more laid back or elevated aesthetic. Good t-shirts will form a solid foundation for any number of outfits, as will a pair of straight or slim leg jeans. The little black dress is a classic for a reason - styling back seamlessly with other wardrobe favourites or with minimal styling at all. Invest in a quality winter coat in a single dark colourway to see you through the cooler seasons in style.

How do you build a smart casual look for women?

A smart casual look for women can be achieved with a few core pieces and a balanced silhouette. The aim is to not appear too informal or overdressed, so it’s a great opportunity to mix-and-match your wardrobe favourites that strike a happy medium. Denim jeans can be elevated with a button-down shirt and tailored blazer, just as a cashmere knit can be paired back with a full-length silk skirt or dress. Tailored pants are a great wardrobe essential, and when worn with a complementary coloured tee and silk scarf accent evoke a business casual aesthetic seamlessly.

How do you refresh your closet for summer?

Warm weather means a wardrobe refresh, so store away your knitwear and look for lighter fabrications that will keep you cool for summer. Linen and cotton are great choices, and work well for shirting, dresses, t-shirts and shorts. Light colours will help you exude a summertime mood, so opt for pastels, fresh whites, neutrals or bright hues. Try and avoid dark, heavier pieces during this time as they tend to attract sunlight which can cause overheating. Trade your winter boots for some strappy sandals or sneakers and swap your leather handbag for a natural, woven version.
