Having spent two summers in Australia, I have learned that breathable and well made basics are the key (and staple) to a southern hemisphere wardrobe. It’s only been since moving here that I have started to appreciate natural fibres and here’s the reason why.
Sydney is humid and stifling hot in the summer months, so less is more. When I say less, I actually mean minimal clothing options (for someone who loves layering this is actually tough) so it’s important to choose wisely. T-shirts and denim shorts replace knits and jeans but sometimes these very basic looks can feel somewhat boring and less styled. Don’t get me wrong I love an easy outfit selection day, but then there are the days I want to look a little more ‘dressed’ in basic pieces. Switching cotton for something a touch more silky and flowing.
Two key items I have been purchasing when the fabric is right are camisoles and shirts. You’ve probably noticed me wearing these pieces on rotation now spring has sprung, and I can assure you these items will take me through to summer. Why? Because they are 100% silk and breathable. Style and fit are obviously important to me, but quality also rate highly. For me, it’s about building a long lasting wardrobe. Today I have styled pieces from the new Grana collection. Mom jeans are definitely my favourite style this season and wanted to show you how I’m transferring my basics from home to street. I have been selecting one size larger in most of my tops lately as I really like an oversized fit to look more relaxed. Paired back with high waisted denim, it also gives the illusion of looking slimmer.
As always, luxe accessories are my go to when wearing simple combinations. And my number one styling tip is to keep accessories the same tone.

I really love Grana! This cami is such a great colour too. I've gotten so much wear out of the silk racerback dress from them. It is so beautiful on the skin. Nothing beats good quality silk, particularly done at a good price point and in flattering colours.

I used to wear sleeveless shirts or tops, when I was having hot flashes, or have the fan on @ work in my office Assignment doer uk , amid winter. A few men or ladies wear short jeans with shoes, even in the snow here, on the grounds that they don't care for long jeans and they are constantly hot!
