Studio Shoot: Wardrobe Staples For Every Season

Tinker Tailor

‘Whatever the season, you can’t go wrong by investing in great suit,’ says Nicole. ‘Look for one that can not only be worn day through night, but can also be used as separates to maximise your wear.’

Shoes – Manolo Blahnik

Prints Perfect

‘This is a trend that reappears season after season, so it’s a good one to invest in and wear for years to come,’ advises Nicole. ‘The easiest way to wear animal print is by teaming it up with basic separates already in your wardrobe. The city short is a great way to update this look – why not even look to shorten a pair of trousers you already have in your wardrobe?’

Coat, Jumper, Shorts & Shoes – Dior

Bracelet & Earrings – Juste un Clou Bracelet and Love Earrings by Cartier

Just Do Your Vest

‘There’s not much explanation needed here; a vest and wide leg trouser combo never goes out of style,’ Nicoles tells us. ‘Opt for good quality fabrics that wash well, so you can have your separates in your wardrobe for years to come.’

Vest, Trousers & Shoes – Michael Kors

Boho Chic

‘Boho is back as one of this season’s strongest trends,’ Nicole tells us. ‘A dress like this has so much wearing potential – a wedding, a day festival or even a night out. The key to wearing this look is the footwear. You can rotate a knee high boot for a gladiator flat, a loafer for a heel; the possibilities are endless.’

‘Every woman should have an LBD in their wardrobe,’ says Nicole. ‘Or, in this case, an LBD in separates. What I love about this outfit is that it can be worn together, or spliced into entirely new looks. Tuxedo blazer, bralette, wrap skirt. Make you outfit work for you.’

On The Outside

‘Outerwear should last you several years – so make sure to opt for something you can see yourself wearing beyond this season,’ advises Nicole. ‘A classic silhouette, like a maxi or a thick trench, will always be a keeper.’
