Casual Chic

Let's begin our style journey with the art of casual chic, where comfort meets coolness. Grab your favourite blazer – whether timeless in black or a playful pattern that speaks volumes. Now, to create that laid-back yet put-together vibe, pair it with a crisp white tee or experiment with a statement shirt featuring a fun and quirky print; continue building your ensemble with high-waisted jeans or even elevated sweatpants, add a chunky sneaker or loafer.

Here's our extra styling hack: nonchalantly roll up those sleeves, French-tuck your tee, add some drama with a chandelier earring, and embrace the relaxed charm. This look effortlessly bridges the gap between weekend hangouts and casual workdays, a testament to the fantastic balance between comfort and sophistication.

Power Play

Transitioning seamlessly into the professional arena, let's talk about unleashing the power of the blazer – a true game-changer in the corporate world. A well-fitted blazer in versatile black is a must, but we also love to play with daring hues or graphic patterns, perhaps a moody burgundy, punchy pink or cool blue.
Layer over a crisp white button-down shirt, frill front blouse, soft Merino knits or shift dress, pieces that complement your chosen blazer. The bottom half of your ensemble plays a crucial role – opt for tailored trousers that exude professionalism or embrace the timeless elegance of a skirt, either softly bias cut or a classic pencil style.

Want to feel 'extra', pair with matching pants for a full suit moment. Seal the deal with a pair of classic loafers or sassy heels. Our tip for accessories is to keep it timeless with clean gold or silver jewellery, consider adding a belt to create shape and focus. This ensemble is your ticket to owning your next meeting with unparalleled confidence and style. Carsten Rundholz said, "I sometimes think that we're not creating fashion but simply garments."

Night Out Glam

As the sun sets, it's time to embrace the allure of a night on the town, and what better companion than a statement shape enhancing blazer. Picture yourself draped in opulence, perhaps in a luxe fabric like velvet or satin, as you head out for cocktails and dinner. Departing from the conventional, swap the traditional blouse for a lace-edged camisole or feminine V-neck peeking from beneath the blazer.
Perfect when paired with a dramatic dress, statement pants or a dreamy skirt – the choice is yours. Accessories take centre stage in this nighttime narrative – grab a bold clutch and embellish your look with statement earrings; slide into your favourite heels, and voilà, you're ready to be wined and dined.
