We love this new-season blouse by Zara, made in breezy lightweight cotton and featuring an on-trend bow neckline. Let this statement piece do the talking by styling it with your favourite pair of cut-off denim shorts (because you can never, ever have too many, we recommend stocking up on some of Cotton On’s universally flattering iterations). Add a final touch of polish with gold statement jewellery, a black leather belt, and a classic pair of sunglasses. It’s beach-to-brunch dressing done right.

When it comes to spring and summer dressing, no piece works harder than the trusted midi dress. This lightweight dress by Forever New screams warm weather sophistication. Wear yours with a stack of gold jewellery – we love a chunky gold bangle from Novo – and a summery bag with pops of green with on-trend woven detailing from H&M.
