Styling notes

Five outfits built out of what is on these shelves, with the reasoning attached.

Flight day

Linen look capris, a crochet knit over a plain tank, flat shoes. The trousers have an elastic waist, which matters after nine hours in a seat, and the knit doubles as the layer you need when the cabin gets cold. Nothing in the outfit needs an iron at the other end.

Summer wedding, outdoors

An off the shoulder dress in a cotton or viscose weave, heels you can walk on grass in, a small bag. The elastic neckline stays put if you took the larger row on the chart. Skip the mesh pieces for a daytime service and keep them for the evening.

Office in August

Wide leg striped trousers with a puff sleeve blouse tucked in. The stripes are vertical on most of these pairs, the blouse is loose through the body, and the whole outfit costs less than a lunch order for the team. Add the crochet cardigan for the room where the air conditioning is set to arctic.

Beach to lunch

A tiered or striped sundress over a swimsuit, flat sandals, a straw bag. The maxi lengths cover enough to walk into a restaurant, the polyester weave dries on the walk over, and there is no zip to fight with sandy hands.

Dinner on the last night

A ruched bodycon mini, one piece of jewellery, heels. This is where the waist and hip columns on the chart matter most. If you are between rows, size up: ruching hides a little extra room and hides nothing about a size too small.

Colours that work together

The catalog leans blue, green, black and brown, with beige, khaki and parchment as the pale neutrals. Any two neutrals from that list sit together. The one pairing to think about is lime green with rose: both are loud, and they fight.
