Your wardrobe ESSENTIALS
Fashion Director Sally-Ann Mullin shares her four must-have items for every woman’s wardrobe
1 TRENCH The classic cover-up
Face life’s daily battles in style with a timeless trench. Versatile and hardworking, the classic trench is something all women should own and works with almost every outfit. The fit is crucial here – make sure the shoulders aren’t too wide and the sleeves aren’t too long. Try pairing with black tailored pants, a floral statement blouse, chunky hoops and a satchel for a fiercely feminine look.
2 LACY BODYSUIT The feminine foundation
Underwear as outerwear can be a scary concept at first, but a gorgeous lacy bodysuit, worn as a base layer, is a perfect place to start. Wear underneath dresses or blouses for a hint of sexiness, plus it’ll give you an additional layer in the cooler months, without the bulk of a traditional camisole. For this season, pair with a black wrap coat, classic black pants and finish off with a sassy pair of tortoiseshell hoops.
3 OFF- DUTY LOUNGEWEAR The just-for-you
Embrace those little moments of self-care with a soft, plush set of sweats. Whether it’s snuggling up on the couch with a movie or a walk in the park with the dogs, this combination will take you anywhere – and if you need a little something extra, a set of feminine, floral undergarments and simple hoop earrings will do nicely.
4 LONGLINE CARDIGAN The do-it-all
The longline cardi is a triple-treat: flattering, snug and a perfect way to inject a bit of colour into your wardrobe. A must for when the months get cooler, it looks fantastic with a boxy top, a slim lined cargo pant and an animal-print belt. And for a touch of sexiness, add a matching lingerie set to give you a little confidence injection!
