Don’t overthink it! Mix washes, shapes, and layer as much as possible. A pair of black mules or ankle boots will keep the look from feeling too costumey.

Double denim

Dark, light, acid, distressed – from the runway to your wardrobe, our love of denim lives on.

Long gone are the days of questioning how much denim is too much denim. The answer, of course, is that the limit does not exist! It’s with good reason that this wardrobe staple continues to reign supreme, even as fleeting trends pass us by. It’s casually unassuming, dependable, and fiercely on-trend, season after season. For AW24, we’re pairing back with heavy silver jewellery and sleek black accessories. Britney and Justin eat your heart out.

Winter capsule

The multitasking pieces you’ll need for when the mercury drops.

There are certain staples in every wardrobe that we reach for time and time again. Our old faithfuls if you will. But the truth is, there’s an art to transitioning your wardrobe from season to season. A perfect capsule wardrobe includes pieces that can cross over seamlessly (like a beautiful bias cut slip skirt), though there are certain season-specific wardrobe heroes that lend themselves to the cooler season. For AW24, look to ballet flats, ribbed knit dresses, and cropped trench jackets for ultimate versatility and style. Remember, your basics don’t have to be boring!

Level up your standard white shirt this season. This Decjuba option is a standout on its own, but also works layered under a cropped vest for the office, or pared back with jeans for the weekend.

Mens capsule

Out with the old, in with the capsule.

Gone are the days of cluttered closets and outfit chaos – instead we suggest embracing a capsule wardrobe this winter. From impeccably tailored suits that exude sophistication to versatile everyday essentials that will transition easily from day to night, it’s time to say goodbye to fashion faux pas scenarios and hello to a sleek new capsule wardrobe.

Skin + Beauty

Defy the chill with products that promote soft, supple skin.

When describing our skin in summer, we tend to use words like dewy and sunkissed but the moment winter arrives and the humidity drops, our skin tends to lose its lustre. But it doesn’t have to be this way! With a little extra TLC, you can remain just as luminous as you are in summer, if not more. The key? Introduce hydrating serums and rich moisturisers to combat dryness and maintain that coveted dewy complexion. Keep your summer glow alive with the help of organic tanning cream, and opt for makeup with dewy finishes like lip oils and cream highlighters to enhance your skin’s radiance.

Break free from harsh retinols and exfoliants and opt for repairing serums instead.
