As the frenzy of the festive season draws upon us, take the stress out of dressing for social events with a few faithful pieces that will shine no matter what the weather throws at you. A lightweigh­t, breathable fabric, merino is destined to become your go-to as the days get warmer and your social calendar busier!

This temperatur­e-regulating fibre has exceptiona­l moisture-wicking properties to keep you cool and dry, with the added benefit of protecting you from damaging UV radiation.

Forget about ironing and fussy care labels – easy-care, odour-resistant merino will let you spend more time enjoying life and less time doing laundry!

For those jetting off on holiday, this versatile fibre makes packing light a breeze, needing minimal washing and multi-tasking to create a number of different looks from just one piece. The simple change of a shoe can transition pieces from day to evening effortless­ly.

Statement pieces that can be styled with merino basics are essential to your summer wardrobe success. Opt for natural fibres in airy, breathable fabrics, like luxe linen pants and tencel shirting. By opting for minimal yet timeless designs, you’ll create a capsule wardrobe that is both functional and fashionabl­e.

Be kind to yourself and the planet by choosing quality over quantity, with a handful of merino staples that will quickly become your new favourites and see you through the silly season and beyond.
