We may still be enjoying late summer, but with autumnal looks delivering new-season inspiration, we’re starting the style switch-up with chic transitional pieces, from a sumptuous silky midi to a cool denim trench and more…
SILK ROAD
Move over, florals – the newest midi frocks are in beautiful block colours and made of sumptuously silky fabrics.

JUMP TO IT
Meet the ultimate in modern relaxed dressing: the utility jumpsuit. Keep it in year-round rotation by adding layers. A fine-knit rollneck works beautifully underneath in cooler months, while a simple tee or ruffle-trim shirt
