FIVE FITS
CAPSULE WARDROBE COMBINATIONS
Trench + Roll Neck + Straight Leg Jeans + Trainers
Perfect for: Weekend strolls, coffee dates, or casual workdays.
Add: Minimalist tote bag, black belt, and everyday gold hoops
Pair your timeless trench coat with a cosy roll-neck sweater and straight jeans for a polished yet comfortable look. A black belt will cinch the waist and provide structure. Complete the outfit with a sleek trainer and a minimalist tote bag (very Olsen-esque). If you want to add a pop of colour or extra visual interest, tie a ‘silk’ scarf around the neck, don some refined ‘leather’ gloves on colder days or if you’re a hat fan, add a fedora for chef’s kiss chicness. But probably not all three at the same time!
Slip Dress + Biker Jacket + Socks + Loafers
Perfect for: A dinner out or a gallery exhibition
Add: Pair with ankle socks and layer on bracelets, necklaces or a bold cuff
Less Formal: Swap the slip for a racer top and black stirrup leggings
If you’re feeling for a bit of edgy elegance, reach for your slip and biker jacket.
The classic slip dress effortlessly transitions from day to night- layer a turtleneck under the slip and add a chunky cardigan for daytime excursions. As evening approaches, shed the layers and let the slip dress shine paired with an ever-trendy biker (the bigger, the better at the moment; raid your Dad’s wardrobe). Swap the loafers for strappy heels for a more polished look.
Opt for a slip dress made from Tencel, recycled polyester, or better yet, preloved!
V Neck Sweater + White T-Shirt + Jeans + Loafers
Perfect for: Office, errands, or a coffee date
Add: Ear stack, pinky ring, barn jacket
Start with a crisp white T-shirt as your foundation. For a sustainable choice, look for organic cotton or bamboo options. Layer a V-neck sweater over the T-shirt (made of natural fibres like wool or cashmere from ethical sources or preloved). Choose well-fitting jeans in a classic wash and finish with loafers to complete the ensemble. Throw your everyday tote over your shoulder, and head off for Sunday coffee and a nose around your local florist.
Knit Maxi + Oversized Blazer + Knee High Boots
Perfect for: Work meetings or date night
Add: Chunky necklace or stacked rings to balance out the structure
For a more casual ensemble, swap out the boots for trainers, and if you have an hourglass or pear figure, a belt at the waist can help balance the fall of the dress and create definition. We love pairing cowboy boots with knit dresses – but both a classic over-the-knee style or moto boot would look cute, too.
Wide Legged Trousers + Shirt + Maxi Wool Coat
Perfect for: Business casual days, city walks, or brunch.
Add: Slim trainers, crossbody bag, baseball cap
We love effortlessly elevated everyday outfits. And this is just that. Pop a racer top under the shirt, and let the shirt hang loose or tuck it in for a more structured look. If you’re doing brunch, a burgundy baseball cap is just what the barista ordered, and a full-length sustainable wool coat adds warmth and sophistication. Make sure it’s preloved, or look for our sustainable and slow fashion approved brands.
