We love waistcoats this season, which are great for creating a smart look. It is paired with a matching blazer jacket, which gives this outfit the perfect balance of sophistication and style. Layered underneath with a Privatsachen blouse, which gives this outfit a delicate pop of colour. 

Pairing light blue and deep brown with this outfit creates such a lovely contrast. Using a shirt in a block colour gives a crisp and polished look. Making this outfit perfect for occasions such as business events, work, or evening dinner plans. Use a buckle bag from Campomaggi, which provides functionality but also harmonises with this outfit.


Create a timeless look, using a shirt by Operificio Neirami and a matching Linen set by Elemente Clemente. Using a shirt as a lightweight jacket is a summer life hack! Wearing linen is perfect for the summertime due to how breathable it is. Paired with Chie Mihara heels, giving a more formal attire. Finishing off with a lightweight scarf by Mama b. We love orange tones this summer, as they provide such radiance to an outfit.


Dressing smart doesn't mean you should sacrifice your style. Here we have composed a more feminine outfit with the use of soft pink hues throughout. Including this Privatsachen trench-style coat, which is perfect for your smart casual wardrobe. It adds a professional but stylish look. Adding a striped top from Operificio Neirami, giving this outfit a fun flair.


 Opting for a classic outfit, and keeping it simple with a smock dress by Amici. Layered with trousers by Elemente Clemente. We have added a bag by Via Mailbag, which can be worn as a clutch bag, or attached to the strap to create it into a cross-body. Finish the outfit with a Beatrice Markatos necklace, adding a complimentary golden tone to the outfit.


Creating a bold look with blocks of red throughout, and using white trousers to create a softer summer look. Use a striped top by Operificio Neirami in the same colour way as the jacket. Adding patterns to the outfit creates an extravagant appearance. Using a Pal Offner backpack which is the perfect size for work or outings.


Here we have an attire from a mixture of designers. Create a comfy casual outfit with Kedziorek green top, made from 100% Ramie. Ramie is an eco-friendly fabric which results in a delicate and fine fabric. Using pleated wide-leg trousers in black by Les Filles. These are such a wardrobe staple due to their versatility. Finishing the look with chunky black Lofinas.


Create refinement in an outfit by the use of colour. Picking one or two colours which you revolve your outfit around can create a striking look. Here we have used red and white as the focus. Using a mixture of bold prints and striped patterns, as this helps break up the outfit. Finishing off the outfit with a Bender Schmuck necklace, which has this really interesting geometric shape.
