There really is no better time than now to live your best life. Call it casually extravagant, this week, I’m theming out meet as “laid back meets lux”. Everyday events are worth dressing up for now, so reclaim your fashion moment whether it’s elegantly casual or somewhere in between.
LOOK 1
CRYSTAL TOP, SHOP SIMILAR, VELVET PANTS, SHOP SIMILAR, METALLIC TECHNICAL FABRIC LOAFERS, SHOP NOW, SOCKS, SHOP SIMILAR, MIU MIU
Bodysuits, let alone an embellished sheer Miu Miu (like the one seen here) reign as the perfect party top to work as your base layer. Easily combine with a boxy blazer for evenings out or pared-back with a pair of Bermuda shorts or denim. Either way it’s polished and the right amount of fantasy.

VELVET PANTS, SHOP SIMILAR, METALLIC TECHNICAL FABRIC LOAFERS, SHOP NOW, SOCKS, SHOP SIMILAR, BAG, SHOP SIMILAR, MIU MIU
Add quirk with diamonds and pearls (thank you, Prince!). Twee style never looked so glam with dazzling, knee-high sequinned socks paired with two-toned loafers or Mary Janes. Brave looking creatively kitsch without feeling like you’re in a Wes Anderson film by shopping second-hand fashion on cool sites like Depop or designer pre-loved wares on Vestiaire Collective. Otherwise, hit the thrift stores.

LADY YEARLING RUBBER SOLE BOOTS, R.M WILLIAMS, SHOP NOW
Yes, your grandmother’s pearls, but with your fave slogan tee. It helps if it’s from Celine for total hipster cool. The longer the pearl strands the better, even if it’s DIY via a craft shop.
I love white boots, so when RM Williams came out with these I thought it’s the killer mix of the Chelsea X Western boot. Wearing white also lightens up an outfit, especially neutrals, and gives you a break from all of black or brown boots.

Nothing says low key luxury better than leather, even faux as it feels and looks just as special. Think tailored leather pants in loose low-slung silhouettes worked back with a pussy bow printed blouse, both by Bianca Spender. Lift your entire look with jewelled hardware in your accessories like these satin jewelled slides and a chic embellished mini bag.

Millennial silver can extend beyond jewellery. With this in mind, go for silver metallics by way of your accessories. There’s a lot of velvet making headway this season so consider this when you’re thinking about your accessories. Seen here in evergreen by Bottega Venetta and Roger Vivier.
Embellishment and denim are the ultimate combo for hitting glamour and cool on the same note. Elevate with this Rebecca Vallance one-shouldered dress and you’re ready for anything.
