Strike a balance between comfort and polish in your daily outfits with three of my key items: The Shirt, The Scarf and The Trench. With the right combo and balance, these essentials make dressing a breeze while still creating an impact. Let’s take a look.
LOOK ONE
The scarf gains new traction as the statement accessory, and you have full artistic licence to wear it multiple ways. Bring on the party in Ibiza with a resort-like kerchief floral scarf knotted behind the nape. Don’t forget bold hoop earrings and earcuffs.

LOOK TWO
Think Grace Kelly, and knot your scarf below the chin. Add a little Wes Anderson cheek with an all brown/beige attire, letting the colour come from the headscarf. On the subject of travel, look no further than this carry-all tote that doubles up as an [oversized] clutch.

LOOK THREE
When it comes to shirting, I like a lightweight 100% cotton, like this signature Chiara shirt and boxer short set from LMDE, a favourite with fashion crews because you can go from the studio to your shoot location while being covered up from the harsh Aussie sun. You’ll still look pulled together – not always an easy feat especially on a fast-paced set.

LOOK FOUR & FIVE
No longer limited to offices and corporate types, the classic men’s style shirt (read: pinstripe, white or chambray blue) is this season’s go-to all-rounder. Expect to see variations in the same theme like cropped, voluminous, feminine lace detailing, to collarless styles. The key is to keep it breezy and crisp. Yes, that means ironing, Ladies and Gentlemen!
If you prefer an element of romance, opt for a bow, some embellishment or lace detailing in your shirting.

LOOK SIX
The trenchcoat is inherently classic and a true utilitarian item that works for all seasons. Opt for a traditional style that will never date or switch out to a hybrid: a cape trench by COS which allows you to layer without overpowering.
