Statement skirts are one of the easiest ways to bring some excitement to your summer wardrobe! Don’t think of them as occasion pieces only! Simply pair them with a basic tee or a white shirt, and voila – you have a gorgeous smart casual look that is guaranteed to turn heads.

There is no one-fits-all recipe for what makes a skirt a statement one, so go with what’s comfortable for you – it might be a strong print, a bold colour, some detail like ruffles or fringing, or you might want to even take it up a notch and opt for some sequins! 

Have a fun break planned this summer, but dreading what to bring with you? 

I have a little capsule below of just 6 pieces, but you can get up to 15 outfits out of it. The key to having such versatility is picking the pieces that mix and match perfectly and then adding the right accessories to dress the looks up and down.

Blazers are one of my favorite layering pieces! They are not only the perfect cover-up for those chillier summer days/nights, but also great staples to give you a ton of outfit formulas. 

If blazers are a stranger to your weekend wardrobe (so many of my clients used to think this is a work staple!), you are definitely missing a trick! 

Over the last few lockdowns, I’ve completely forgotten how to wear heels! And now that life is back to normal, I’m dreading wearing them again on a regular basis! 

I’m sure I’m not the only one?!

The good news is there are so many lovely stylish flats around this season that we can all look just as fab without the heels! 

I’ve pulled together some of my current favourites for work, off-duty and special occasions!

Loafers, pointy-toe flats, and slingbacks are great for the office or simply for those occasions when you want to feel well put together.

There are also some great casual options like mules and espadrilles.

Working from home became a new reality for many of us over the last 2 years and zoom calls turned into a new way of communicating.

If video meetings are a part of your daily work routine, or you simply want to feel like your ‘normal self’ even when working from home, having some easy staples is the way to go.

Comfort plus style is the winning formula for nailing your work-from-home wardrobe.

Opt for soft tailoring and flowing fabrics to give your looks plenty of flexibility. Chic blouses are a great starting point. Go for cuts that don’t scream ‘office’ but still look smart and dressy. Oh, and don’t be shy of colour! It works great for those Zoom calls! 

These 6 pieces (without accessories) work together as a capsule giving you 9 different looks. This is the beauty of mixing & matching!

You can supplement these looks with as many accessories as you want, giving your ensembles a different focal point every time!
