YOU (South Africa)

YOU staffers pick their favourite outfits

We asked a few colleagues for their top picks for the season and how they’d wear them

- BY WAGHEEBA JANUARY

‘I’m a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl – but I love a splash of colour’ ‘My style at the moment is casual chic. I’m always mixing and matching outfits and I especially enjoy combining comfy clothing with more tailored items or statement pieces’

STAND-OUT SKIRT

It’s a good idea to have one item in your outfit that makes a bold statement – this skirt could be it. It would look good with more toneddown pieces like a chunky knit and tights, or with a tweed coat.

EXTRA FLAIR

A floral kimono is superversa­tile: swop your sneakers for heels and you’re ready to hit the town! Or use it to cover up after a swim at the beach.

SHOE CRUSH

I can definitely see myself in these babies! They look super-comfortabl­e and can be edgy when paired with patterned tights, or toned down with a casual T-shirt and cropped pants.

STEAL THE SHOW

I chose this stunning jacket because of the structure and print. I see it as a statement piece that can be paired with ripped or plain jeans, matched with comfy sneakers or stunning heels, depending on the mood.

THE MUST-HAVE

This jacket is simple yet chic and will give any outfit an edgy feel. I can wear it with pretty much anything from skirts to jeans.
