How to style linen in winter

  • Timeless Fashion
  • 0 Comments
Girl wearing a trench coat, striped sweater and tailored linen trousers.

Linen is one of my favourite fabrics. Sustainable, breathable, hard wearing. While it does crease, I’ve often felt this imperfection adds to, rather than detracts from, it’s beauty. You’ve probably associated your linen garments more with spring and summer. The fabric certainly conjures up feelings of sun drenched European summer evenings for me. However, one…

How to build a sustainable work wear wardrobe

“Dress for success” the saying goes, and cliche though it might be, there’s a lot of truth to it. We spend a large portion of our lives at work so, naturally, this is reflected in the proportion of our wardrobes which comprise work wear. It also gives us the opportunity to take a slower approach to…

How to style linen shorts – three ways

Girl wearing a black one shoulder top and tailored linen shorts in a burnt orange / pink colour. The shorts have a high waist and braided belt detailing.

Here we are at the end of summer in the northern hemisphere. The sharp crisp early morning are just beginning to tease us. The leaves haven’t begun to turn golden, but soon. You can feel it. That said, I thought I could squeeze one more summer-related post in before the autumn content begins as these…

Positano Itinerary – 3 nights on the Amalfi Coast

Girl holding a glass of red wine against view of Positano, Amalfi. She is wearing a low back black bodysuit from Sezane and Levi Blue Ribcase Straight Ankle Jeans.

Surprisingly, I didn’t have high expectations for Positano and the Amalfi Coast. Sure, I knew they would be beautiful. After all, many a photo of winding Bougainvillea filled alleyways and colourful houses nestled amongst a rugged coastline had graced my Instagram feed for years. However, I thought that its popularity would eclipse the experience – weighed down by…

You may recall this jumpsuit – one of the earlier outfits I featured on this blog. Funny enough I’d admired it in one of my favourite stores about a season before seeing it hanging outside a rack of my local Red Cross store in Sydney – where it promptly came home with me. I guess…

Black may not be the colour that first springs to mind when it comes to summer outfit ideas. However, this perennially timeless colour can very easily be incorporated into your spring / summer capsule wardrobe. Below I share a few suggestions for my favourite ways of styling black in the warmer months.  1. Consider the…

Black and Beige – A Simple Outfit Formula

  • Timeless Fashion

Girl wearing a beige sportscraft woollen knit, black trousers and beige heels

A simple outfit formula. Sweaters and a simple pair of pants, sometimes jeans, sometimes tailored is an outfit formula I wear a lot. I love the neutral colour palette of this iteration of it. The beige sweater balances out the harsher shades of the true black pants and the heels draw it all together. You…

Styling a navy evening dress

Girl wearing a navy blue lace evening gown with a halter neckline and a mermaid fishtail skirt. She is wearing gold hoop earrings and neutral pumps.

As far as adding colour to my wardrobe goes, I often find myself drawn to navy blue and other such muted shades.  I also feel that navy is a colour which lends itself to wedding guest outfits. Black and white, usual go-to colours for me, aren’t traditionally appropriate for such events, but navy feels like a…

Two white monochrome outfit ideas for spring

I find myself wearing a lot of monochrome outfits. Partly because they are just so easy to style, but also because a lot of the foundational pieces of my wardrobe tend to be based around a similar colour palette and so I inadvertently find myself styling outfits this way.  I love the idea of a…

One of my favourite sustainable quotes is by Anne One of my favourite sustainable quotes is by Anne Marie Bonneau: 

“We don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly.” 

As self-confessed perfectionist, when I first discovered sustainable fashion I set out to create a “perfect” sustainable wardrobe before slowly coming to the realisation that, even if I was achievable, there’s no set consensus on what that actually looks like. Is it just buying sustainable brands? Just buying preloved? Never buying any new clothes? 

I repeated this when I attempting to build a capsule wardrobe, constantly feeling frustrated when I couldn’t stick to the (arbitrarily) prescribed “rules” I read on the internet about how many pieces a capsule wardrobe should have. 

The problem is that we forget that sustainable fashion has to be sustainable for us too. 

That capsule wardrobes are meant to simplify our wardrobes, not constrain us. 

That should not mean that we don’t try to make meaningful decisions, just that we should be gentle with ourselves when the practical day-to-day realities of our lives make it hard to live us to our sometimes lofty ideals.

And to just know that even the small changes we make, can have a big impact on the earth.

As Joan Crawford’s quote goes, “care for your As Joan Crawford’s quote goes, “care for your clothes, like the good friends they are”. 

On my journey of slowing down my wardrobe, I’ve found this to be true. 

To see clothes I own as companions, memory keepers as such. 

We place a lot of stock in clothing for special events, momentous life occasions, in new and exciting clothes. 

But what about the well worn jeans that carry us through the day to day of this chapter of our lives? The coats & boots which shield us from the winter winds? 

What memories, of ordinary things, the small moments, could they tell? Shouldn’t they too, be celebrated? 

How will you care for them and they for you, in return?
