  • Polished and Relaxed. Experiment with oversized blazers and relaxed denim. Earth tones are your best friends in this ensemble. Add a statement belt and white sneakers to elevate your style.
  • Laid-Back Elegance. For a touch of laid-back elegance, incorporate midi dresses with sneakers. Choose pastel shades or nature-inspired earthy tones to stay on-trend. Accessorise with layered necklaces and a mini shrug for those spring evening outings.

Mixing Patterns and Textures for a Playful Touch

Featuring Our Sienna Shirt

One of the best ways to showcase your personality is with a playful mix of patterns and textures. It can feel intimidating, but this is a chance to experiment and bring out the unexpected, making your look stylish and lively:

  • Pattern Play. Combine floral prints, checks, and stripes to create visually engaging outfits that make a statement. For example, pair a striped blouse with checked trousers and finish with floral-printed accessories for a harmonious yet bold look.
  • Texture Experiment. Experiment with textures like denim, cotton, and lightweight knits to add depth to your ensemble. A denim jacket over a cotton sundress, or a lightweight knit cardigan layered over a denim skirt, can add an unexpected twist to your spring style.

By mixing and matching patterns and textures, you can achieve a playful and dynamic look that's perfect for embracing the spirit and energy of spring. Don’t be afraid to play with the endless possibilities of pattern and texture combinations to create your unique style statement this season.

Footwear Choices for Casual Spring Days

Choosing the right footwear for your spring look can be a challenge if you need to balance warmth, comfort, and style. Consider what you’ll be doing throughout the day, and also what look you’re going for. There are a few classic options that will always be a great choice, but especially with a nod to spring.

  • Ankle Boots. Ankle boots are a go-to choice for adding a touch of edge to your spring ensemble. They pair beautifully with both jeans and dresses, giving you a comfy yet classy look that's perfect for transitional weather.
  • Sneakers. Sneakers are a springtime staple, offering comfort and style in one package. Whether you're wearing dresses, jeans, or skirts, a pair of trendy kicks can add a casual, sporty vibe to your outfit.
  • Loafers. Loafers are a classic choice that exudes timeless elegance. They pair exceptionally well with dresses and skirts, offering a touch of sophistication to your casual spring look.

With the right choice of shoes, you can transition from a casual day out to a stylish evening gathering, all while embracing the lovely essence of spring.

When trying to find the perfect spring look, can you really turn a casual spring outfit into a fashion statement? Darling, of course! It all has to do with the right accessories. The right ones will scream fresh, while heavy, bulky choices will feel like you’re not ready to let go of winter. Here's how to infuse a touch of sophistication and style into your look:

  • Statement Accessories. Amp up your ensemble with statement accessories such as cute, light weight hats, stylish sunnies, and layered necklaces. A wide-brimmed hat will do double-duty by adding an element of elegance while shielding you from the sun. Fashionable sunglasses will protect your eyes while amping up your overall cool factor. Layered necklaces transform a simple outfit into a striking fashion statement.
  • Perfect Bags. Complete your spring look with the perfect bag. Whether you opt for a practical crossbody bag for a hands-free adventure, a sophisticated tote for a day at the market, or a trendy clutch for a night out, the right bag adds a dash of flair and functionality to your ensemble.

Effortlessly Chic: The Art of Minimalist Spring Fashion

Spring is all about lightness and renewed energy, so don’t let yourself get bogged down when choosing your outfit. Discover the allure of minimalist outfits this spring, where less truly is more. Think, clean lines, neutral colours, and the beauty of simplicity:

Less truly is more when it comes to crafting a minimalist spring look.

  • Denim Ensemble. Incorporate denim jackets, jeans, and chambray shirts into your spring wardrobe for a versatile and classic look. Mix and match to create fresh, eye-catching casual spring outfits.

Taking Inspiration from Spring Fashion Trends

  • Pastel Palette. Embrace the soothing pastel trend that's synonymous with spring. Infuse your wardrobe with soft pinks, serene blues, and minty greens, adding a touch of elegance and tranquillity to your casual ensembles.
  • Bold Prints. If pastels are not your thing, experiment with bold prints like florals, checks, and stripes, all of which make a statement in the spring fashion scene. Incorporate these eye-catching patterns into your outfits through statement pieces or playful accessories.
  • Elevated Neutrals. Neutrals are a perennial favourite. Think beige, camel, and soft grey tones. Work these calming shades into your casual outfits through essentials like trench coats, wide-leg trousers, and cosy knits for a sophisticated yet relaxed look. As a bonus, neutrals are a great background for pastels and bold prints, giving you even more combinations.
  • Sustainable Chic: Sustainability is not just a trend; it's a movement. Consider incorporating sustainable fashion pieces into your casual spring outfits. Opt for eco-friendly materials, ethical brands, and vintage finds to make a stylish and eco-conscious statement. Sustainable fashion never goes out of style.

How To Dress For Spring When It’s Cold: Styling For Spring

Ah, spring. A time of blooming flowers, longer days, and... shivering in your floral dress because it’s still freezing outside? Yikes! As Aussies, we know the drill - springtime isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. In fact, it can be downright chilly. And while we're all about flaunting our spring fashion, we also don’t want to catch a cold in the process. The struggle is real, ladies!

Now, we get it. Transitioning from winter to spring is a bit like swiping on a dating app—exciting and full of potential, but also... kind of stressful. You want to shed the heavy layers, but Mother Nature isn’t quite on board yet. 

So, how do you balance staying warm with looking spring-ready? Say hello to your new BFF: layering! And no, we’re not talking about piling on so many layers you can barely move. We’re talking about comfy, stylish, and strategic pieces like lightweight knits, versatile coatigans, and, of course, spring coats for women that can be thrown over ANY outfit.

In the quest to solve the excellent spring mystery, we've compiled essential tips to help you create fashionable spring outfits for those cooler days, without sacrificing your need for warmth. Let’s begin!

Building a Versatile Spring Wardrobe

Featuring Our Harper Jacket - Leopard

While the weather is playing hard to get, stylish mavens like you can get ahead of the game by building a versatile wardrobe with all the essentials. 

But what exactly are these key pieces? Well, this includes lightweight cardigans, denim jackets, long-sleeve tops, and yes, women's spring jackets and cardigans. These pieces are multi-purpose, and you'll find yourself reaching for them again and again, regardless of the season, so make sure they're of good quality and fit well.

Now, we know what you’re thinking. “But I don’t want to look like I’m wearing the same thing every day!” Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. The key to keeping things fresh is to play around with different combinations and add trendier pieces as you go. For example, pair a basic white tee and jeans with a bold, patterned cardigan. Or, dress up a simple, plain dress with an edgy denim jacket. The possibilities are endless!

Want to update your look even more? Then don’t forget about accessories! Scarves, ankle boots, cute sling bags, and stylish hats are all timeless pieces that can add a touch of flair to any outfit.

Creating Chic Outfits for Varying Temperatures

Featuring Our Shift Dress - Grey/Animal

As we all know, spring weather can be quite unpredictable. Our advice? This is the perfect time for smart layering techniques to ensure you stay warm when needed, but can easily shed a layer when the temperatures rise. Start with lightweight spring tops as your base layer, add a cosy cardigan or one of our women's spring jackets, and don't forget a scarf that can be easily removed.

And here’s another pro tip: Mixing and matching different textures and fabrics is not only a great way to add visual interest to your outfit but can also help you stay warm! For example, pair a silky blouse with a chunky knit cardigan and jogger pants. Or, wear a soft, cotton tee under a leather jacket with a pair of jeans.

And, of course, don’t forget to infuse some fresh vibes into your transitional outfits with spring colours and patterns. Soft pastels, floral prints, and stripes are all great options. Try one of our shift dresses in a bright spring colour or pattern. After all, spring is a time for renewal and rejuvenation, so don’t be afraid to experiment with new colours, patterns, and styles.

Styling Tips for Spring Accessories

Featuring Our Blue Hues Print Scarf

Spring is your season to shine with accessories that do more than just accessorise. Sure, scarves, shawls, and wraps add that essential extra layer when the breeze gets cheeky, but darling, they are also your front-row ticket to the fashion show of life. Need inspiration? Dive into our curated collection of scarves for women.

Hats off (or on!) to those who know the transformative power of headgear. A well-chosen hat or beanie can turn a bad hair day into a runway moment. Opt for wide-brimmed hats, berets, or chic beanies that offer both a warm hug to your head and a tip of the hat to your style.

And, of course, the pièce de résistance, jewellery and eyewear. Choose statement pieces that resonate with the rebirth and freshness that spring represents – think floral motifs, pastel stones, and designs that evoke the lightness of being. And for eyewear, go for practical glasses that shield your peepers from the spring sun while serving some serious face.

Maximising Footwear Choices for Chilly Spring Days

Okay, ladies, let’s face it. We’ve all been there, right? Absolutely over winter boots, but it’s still way too brisk for our adorable sandals, and yet, we often find ourselves slipping into our old faithfuls even if they totally clash with our outfit. The struggle is REAL! Plus, spring is basically the party season - garden parties, picnics, sunset strolls with bae... and each one demands a different level of shoe game.

Now, here at Freez, we are all about those crowd-pleasers - ankle boots and sneakers. No joke, ankle boots are basically the fairy godmother of spring - chic, cosy, and they go with literally everything. And sneakers? They’re the snuggly sweethearts that never disappoint.

And before we forget, one element you shouldn’t skip on is your choice of socks and stockings. You see, these two aren’t just about keeping those toes warm anymore, sweeties! They’ve been promoted to accessory royalty. We’re talking show-stopping patterns, luxurious materials, and all the textures that make you go 'ooh'. They’ll not only add some serious sass to your outfit but also keep your tootsies toasty and super comfy.

Practical Tips for Dressing for Outdoor Activities

Featuring Our Bella Cardi

Planning a real, outdoorsy, wind-in-your-hair kind of adventure? In Australia, we all know how one moment it’s all sunshine and roses, and the next, you’re caught in a surprise spring shower. 

Drama, much? Yes! So, when it comes to outdoor escapades, we need to channel our inner Girl Scouts and always be prepared by wearing lightweight jackets or windbreakers. In our experience, these stylish staples are essential for staying warm and dry without feeling like you’re wearing a million layers. Plus, they can easily be tied around your waist or stashed in your bag when not needed.

But wait! When there are Spring showers, what’s equally important is that you settle your footwear. Instead of the classic heels and leather boots, opt for water-resistant footwear that will keep your feet dry, provide good traction, and is comfy to wear all day long. Your feet will thank you later!

Lastly, investing in a moisture-wicking base layer is an absolute must. Not only does it keep that annoying sweat at bay, but it also serves as the foundation of your outdoor ensemble. Add to that an insulating layer, like a lightweight sweater or fleece, topped off with a water-resistant outer layer. Voilà! You’ve got yourself a killer combo that allows you to add or remove layers as the day unfolds.

Optimising Spring Wardrobe Essentials

Featuring Our Rayon Overall - Teal

Transitioning into a new season doesn’t necessarily mean hitting 'add to cart' on every new trend. Let’s be smart fashionistas, shall we? The key is optimising what you already own to get the most bang for your buck.

  • Step 1: Evaluate Your Wardrobe - Take a good look at your current collection. Do you have light sweaters, midi dresses, or jumpsuits lurking in the back? Bring them out, darling! These versatile pieces are about to become your best friends this spring.
  • Step 2: Get Creative - Experiment with different layering techniques. For example, try pairing a midi dress with one of our women's spring jackets to create a sophisticated yet effortless look. Remember, it’s all about making the most of what you already have while adding a sprinkle of the new season's trends.
  • Step 3: Embrace Local Styles - Whether it’s a bohemian vibe or an edgy street-style look, adding local flair to your outfits will make them feel fresh and current. Check out our Knits and Coats page for the latest knit sweater trends, and don’t forget to browse our Midi-length collections page for the hottest midi skirts, coats, and more.

If you do decide to add a few new pieces to your collection, make sure they are versatile and can be mixed and matched with what you already own. Our women’s jumpsuits are a perfect example of a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down for any occasion.

Mixing and Matching to Suit the Spring Season

Featuring Our Kiki Dress - Floral

As temps go yo-yo any season, it’s mission-critical to put together ‘fit that balances style and warmth. Here at Freez, we highly recommend starting with a base layer that can be easily adjusted throughout the day. For example, a light tank top or t-shirt that can be layered with a cardigan or one of our women's spring jackets. This way, you can easily take off a layer when it gets warm and add one when the temperature drops.

Additionally, don’t be afraid to mix textures, patterns, and colours! Spring is the perfect time to experiment with your style. For instance, try pairing a floral dress with a leather jacket for an edgy yet feminine look or a chunky knit sweater with a silk skirt for a mix of textures.

Ready to add some drama? Accessories are your best friend when it comes to transitioning from winter to spring. However, don’t overcrowd your look! The key to mastering spring fashion is to stay adaptable. Temperatures can fluctuate drastically throughout the day, so it’s important to be creative with your wardrobe choices. Keep a lightweight jacket or scarf in your bag for unexpected temperature drops.

Conclusion: Nailing Your Spring Look in Cool Climates

As we wave goodbye to winter's chill and welcome the blossoming allure of spring, mastering the wardrobe transition becomes crucial. This season certainly presents its challenges, but remember, the secret to perfecting your spring look is a harmonious balance of style, warmth, and adaptability. 

Yet, transitioning into a new season isn't just about a wardrobe overhaul; it's also an opportunity to embrace and celebrate your unique style. Fashion isn't a one-size-fits-all game, and spring, with its fresh beginnings, is the ideal time to experiment with new looks and reinvent your style.

Fashion Trends for Spring 2023: Embrace the Latest Styles

If you thought you'd seen it all last spring, think again! Every Aussie woman knows that each turn of the season is like catching up with an old friend who's returned from a year-long adventure – familiar yet refreshingly unpredictable. Last spring's styles? Adorable for their time, but they've soaked up their share of our glorious sun. As we flirt with a brand-new chapter, it's not just about trading cosy layers for breezy fits; it's about unboxing a whole new realm of fashion flair. 


So, before you revisit those past season faves, let’s go over the latest and greatest this year – because, darling, spring 2023 is in a league of its own!

Fringe Revival: Elevating Your Everyday Clothes

Featuring Our Jacinta Metallic Cross Body Bag - Green

Time to dust off those tassels and swing into the season with style because fringe is back! What makes this super unique is that it comes in all shapes and sizes, making it easy to find the perfect strand to suit your personal style. From subtle accents that whisper sophistication to jaw-dropping statements that demand attention, there's a fringe fit for every fashionista.


Looking for a low-key upgrade? Add a touch of fringe to the hem of a skirt or the edge of a scarf. It's an easy way to elevate a plain outfit while keeping things classy. Ready for an all-eyes-on-you moment? Turn up the volume with a full-fringe jacket, or strut your stuff in a pair of tasselled boots. Want something a little less dramatic but still screams movement? Delight and surprise with fringe embellishments on otherwise ordinary accessories, like bags or jewellery. It's an unexpected twist that adds a playful element to your ensemble.


To ace the fringe game this spring, pair subtler fringe-infused pieces with solid basics, like your fave white tee or trusty jeans, to avoid overwhelming your look. Meanwhile, statement fringe items, whether it's a dress or a jacket, should shine solo. However, remember that too much fringe can leave you looking like you just stepped off the set of a Western movie. Thus, we highly recommend trying to keep things chic by finding the sweet spot between understated and flashy.


New Cuts and Embellishments for Jeans

Featuring Our Ripped Jean - Blue

Say au revoir to your tried-and-true skinnies and welcome the buzzword for this season's denim: Versatility! From the sculpting allure of high-rise cuts to the playful deviations in silhouettes, this season's jeans are curating a harmonious blend of comfy meets chic. And, hun, the revolution doesn’t end with just the cuts. Our denim scene this spring is a canvas of artistry with every detail, be it the boho touch of eclectic embroidery or the finesse of understated stitching, bringing each pair to life.


Wondering what's lining the denim runway? Here's the inside scoop:


  • Wide-leg wonders: Bid adieu to constraints; it's all about that breezy flair.
  • Asymmetrical waist wonders: Because why be predictable?
  • Patchwork passion: Retro vibes, contemporary style.
  • Ribbed jeans: Textured perfection for the win.
  • Jean skirts: The classic's comeback, with a twist.
  • Low-slung baggy pants: Casual, comfy, and oh-so-cool.
  • Bermuda shorts: The ideal bridge between shorts and trousers.

But why merely dip your toes in denim waters when you can make a splash with dazzling embellishments? As spring unfurls, the streets will be a runway of fashion mavens rocking bejewelled jeans. Envision pearls cascading down denim legs, glinting metallic studs catching the sunlight, artfully crafted slashes giving peeks of sass, and patterns that transform denim into canvases of art. With jeans like these, who needs an ice-breaker? Set the fashion dialogue rolling from the get-go!

The Resurgence of Hot Pants

Spring has always been about rebirth and renewal, so what better trend to welcome than one that all but insists on turning heads? Originating from the bold fashion decade of the 1970s, hot pants were once the epitome of daring and playful. Fast-forward to 2023, they're breaking back into the fashion scene with gusto, keen to take their rightful place under the sun.


According to fashion gurus, the beauty of hot pants lies in their uniqueness. Perfect for sun-drenched festivals, whimsical brunches, or edgy nighttime soirees, each pair not only promises that “wow” factor but also offers an ease of movement that many other bottoms can't match.


But how do you rock them without feeling overexposed? Balance is key, of course! Pair them with a billowy blouse or an oversized boyfriend blazer to counter their cheekiness. If you're dipping your toes into this trend, neutral tones or denim hot pants can be your safe bet. However, for the audacious divas, metallics or sequined options are all the rage!

Beige is Back: Embrace the Neutral Elegance

Featuring Our Sabrina Short - Natural

Often seen as the wallflower of the colour world, beige is now stepping into the spotlight, proving that sometimes subtlety screams louder than the boldest and brightest tones. But how do you incorporate this nuanced hue into your spring outfits without looking washed out? Voila! We’ve cherry-picked some fool-proof ways that prove beyond doubt - beige is anything but basic.

  • Beige all the way: Opt for a monochrome look with beige clothing and wooden accessories for an earth-toned, effortlessly sophisticated outfit.
  • Play with textures: Try a beige lace blouse with a suede skirt or a beige knitted sweater with silk pants to break the monotony.
  • Beige plus colour: Jazz up your beige trousers or skirt with a colourful blouse or oversized printed sweater.
  • Accessories are your allies: Want a subtler beige presence? A beige hat, bag, belt, or pair of shoes can add understated elegance to any outfit.

The New Blazer: A Staple with a Twist

Featuring Our Coatigan - Blue

Blazers have long been the poster child for sophisticated dressing, but this spring, they’re not just about business – they've got a playful side too. Think asymmetrical hems, oversized lapels, or even patchwork designs; it’s the era of the blazer, unrestrained.


One standout example is the rise of coatigans. The lovechild of a coat and a cardigan, this hybrid offers the structure of a blazer with the comfort of your favourite knit, making it a versatile must-have. It’s the ideal piece for those transition days when the weather can't quite make up its mind.


Ready to style up your blazer? 


For a laid-back look, try pairing an oversized blazer with your favourite fitted jeans or shorts, and complete the ensemble with a simple tee and fashion-forward sneakers. If you're feeling daring, make the blazer your star piece by opting for a standout pattern or bold colour.


Office chic? When aiming for a more sophisticated style, try a power-shoulder blazer with a sleek pair of tapered trousers. Add a soft silk blouse underneath, and finish off with pointed heels to embody elegant chic.


Meeting friends for a casual brunch? The coatigan shines in casual outfits that need a slight pinch of polish. Pair it with a cute spring dress and ankle boots, or throw it on over a simple jeans-and-tee combination for a comfortable yet stylish look.

Chartreuse and Light Greens: Make a Bold Statement

Featuring Our Pocket Dress - Green Leaf

This season, don't just wear your heart on your sleeve; wear your confidence in shades of chartreuse. Right from haute couture runways to mainstream market racks, the electric blend of yellow and green has swiftly climbed the popularity ladder. What makes this hue special is that it offers a fantastic way to break free from safer colour choices, challenging you to step out of your comfort zone. 


Afraid of looking like a neon sign? Start small. Add vibrant colours to your ensemble through accessories – think handbags, scarves, or jewellery. They're like a flavorful spice, meant to add flavour without overpowering the dish. Want to dilute all the energy? Tone down the boldness by pairing your chartreuse with neutral shades like white, grey, or beige. 

The Sheer Summer Staple Extends to Spring

Featuring Our Bec Knit - Beige

Just when we thought sheer clothing was about to take its usual departure with the summer sun, it surprised us with a stylish swerve right into our spring wardrobes. This ephemeral trend finds its way back onto the fashion stage each year, constantly reinventing itself while maintaining its alluring charm.


Before you add to your cart all the sheer staples out there, let’s skim through some handy tips that’ll ensure you are embracing the sheer brilliance (pun totally intended) in the most stylish way possible:


  • Under Layering: Sheer clothing offers a fantastic opportunity to play with layers. Try a sage sheer Bec knit sweater over a solid camisole, or pair a sheer blouse with a sleek bandeau. 
  • Overlay: Wear a long sheer dress or kimono over a summer dress or a top and shorts combo to add depth and a touch of drama to your entire ensemble.
  • Monochrome Magic: A single-colour story can make a powerful statement. Layer your sheer tops or skirts with similar-toned pieces for a seamlessly chic look.
  • Accessorise Wisely: Less is more when it comes to accessorising sheer outfits. Subtle, delicate jewellery enhances the elegance of sheer clothing without stealing its thunder.

Getting Big Impacts From Small Changes in Simple Looks

This spring, the 'less is more' philosophy reigns supreme for those seeking elegance in simplicity. But don't be fooled by minimalism—it's neither plain nor boring. These subtle, streamlined outfits present a fun, creative challenge: how does one stand out in simplicity? Here are the subtle touches you need to consider:


  • Textures: Ever thought of swapping your plain cotton tee with a rib-knit one? Or introducing a silk scarf to your seemingly familiar outfit? Different fabrics and knits infuse texture into your look, adding an appealing dimension without losing simplicity.
  • Cuts and Shapes: Playing around with design elements can have a significant impact on the overall aesthetic of your outfit. Asymmetrical cuts, for instance, introduce an unexpected twist to the plot, while bunched shoulders can add depth and character to a simple blouse.
  • Accessories: They're the secret sauce to a well-rounded look. A statement belt, dainty jewellery, or a quirky pin badge might be small in size, but they can elevate your ensemble to new heights.
  • Embroidery & Prints: Minimal yet elegant embroidery or a well-placed print can inject personality into your outfit.

Cargo Pants Are Back

Featuring Our Leather Look Cargo - Black

The 90s called, and they're sending one of their stars back into the spotlight. That's right, the formidable cargo pants have made a triumphant return, ready to give your spring wardrobe a punch of attitude and practicality. If you're a touch hesitant about embracing this trend, we have a few ideas to incorporate cargo pants into your outfits for a chic and functional look:

  • With a Crop Top: Balance the bagginess of cargo pants with a chic crop top. This combo creates a laid-back yet polished look that screams effortlessly stylish.
  • Blazers and Boots: Pair your cargo pants with sleek ankle boots and a fitted blazer for an ensemble that effortlessly transitions from a daytime jaunt to an evening rendezvous.
  • Monochromatic Magic: Dress head-to-toe in one colour to lend a sophisticated flair to your cargo pants. It's haute couture meets street style.
  • Accessorise Right: Complement the ruggedness of cargo pants with delicate accessories. Think of long-chain necklaces or colourful scarves for a perfect contrast.

Every season, our closets beckon for a little heart-to-heart. Our advice? Play detective with your wardrobe, starting with your winter collection! Before you're tempted by the 'add to cart' button for new arrivals, pause and revisit what you already own. Pose questions to your clothes like, "Which of these winter wonders can sashay into spring?" Maybe it's that delicate knit that flirts perfectly with your floral dresses or that chic trench that screams brisk spring mornings?


Unsure which ones to keep? Here are some key pieces that every style maven swears by as absolute must-haves:

  • The Breezy Cardi: Perfect for draping over sundresses or teaming up with your fave jeans, this piece strikes a balance between cosy and cool, ideal for those unpredictable spring days and nights.
  • Chic Ankle Booties: These transition wonders seamlessly elevate both jeans and dresses, adding a hint of sass and class to your stride.
  • Swishy Midi Skirts: Be it dreamy florals, soft pastels, or bold monochromes, these skirts twirl with grace and flair, making every sidewalk your runway.
  • The Trusty Denim Jacket: Timeless, right? Throw it on, and voila – instant charm, not to mention its nifty knack for being the perfect layer.
  • Whimsical Daytime Frocks: Airy, whimsical, and oozing spring vibes, these dresses are your go-to for picnics, brunches, and sunset soirées.

Remember, the magic lies in the details. Revisiting and reevaluating your wardrobe isn't just a task— it's a fashion-forward ritual! Regular checks ensure you're always on-point, dodging the "Is this too wintery?" fashion faux pas. 

Layering Techniques

Featuring Our Harper Jacket - Leopard

As winter gives its final bow, don't be so quick in shoving your fuzzy knits into the back of your wardrobe. Oh no, darling! This season is all about merging those winter faves with spring's fresh picks. The goal? Crafting a look that's not just stylish but also super adaptable for spring's moody thermostat.

Let's jazz up your layer game with these style hacks:

  • Lay the foundation with quintessential spring pieces. Think a classic white tee, a playful cami, or a sophisticated long-sleeve. These are the canvas  upon which your layering masterpiece will unfold.
  • Picture pairing a light, ethereal spring top with that rich, comforting knitted cardi. Or how about draping a soft cotton dress with a fierce leather jacket? Not just a style statement, it's also your secret shield for those sneaky cold gusts.
  • Choose a delicate, spring-hued one, and watch it transform your outfit in a snap. And if you're eyeing that spring dress but feeling the nip? Slide into some modish tights, and strut your stuff.

Mixing Textures and Fabrics

Featuring Our Bec Knit - Beige

Alright, ladies, if you're aiming for THAT look – the one that stops traffic and starts conversations – mastering the art of fabric and texture blend is your fashion-forward secret. 

As we say at Freez, every season is an excuse to revamp, reinvent, and re-flirt. Envision a scenario where delicate tulle or sensuous lace takes on the bad-boy vibes of leather, or perhaps snuggles up with a lush knit? The golden rule? It's all about harmony! Balance that airy fabric with something more chunkier to top it off.

And for textures and patterns? Don’t hold yourself back from getting on the wild side! For instance, pair that soft-hued suede skirt with a sequined top and see how it marries the feels of a soulful serenade with the electric energy of pop. And if you're itching to push the boundaries, layer that ornate brocade with the earthiness of corduroy. 

Introduce Spring Colours

Featuring Our Monique Knit - Lilac

If you're looking to truly revolutionise your wardrobe game, then it's time to dip your toes (and everything else) into the tantalising palette of spring shades. Winter's monochromes were chic, sure, but spring? Honey, it's a vibrant, vivacious affair that demands attention.

Begin with the gentle allure of pastels: imagine swirling around in hues of whimsical lavender, refreshing mint, or the softest baby blue. Want to elevate that day dress or revamp your work knitwear? A dash of lilac or a splash of mint does wonders, evoking a feeling akin to the first fresh breeze of the season.

Now, if you're all about turning heads (and who isn't?), then embrace the bold side of the spectrum. We're talking sizzling sunflower yellows, dramatic cerulean blues, and unapologetic coral pinks. Wear them boldly, as statement pieces, or even as cheeky accessories that peek through.

Swap Out Outerwear

Featuring Our Mini Shrug - Purple

Those chunky puffers and heavy-duty woollen coats that have been your guardian angels against winter's chill? Pack 'em away. They've done their duty and deserve some R&R until the next cold front. At Freez, we recommend prepping lighter jackets. Think breathable trenches, chic denim jackets, and that buttery soft leather jacket you've been itching to wear. They're perfect for those breezy afternoons and pair elegantly with just about anything in your closet.

When it's not quite cold enough for a jacket but too chilly for just a tee, cardigans come to the rescue. Drapey, oversized, or fitted - pick a style that resonates with your mood. And the best part? They effortlessly layer over dresses, blouses, and even tees for that snug warmth without the weight.

BTW, lovelies, outerwear isn't just about coats and jackets. Don't shy away from playing around with ponchos, capes, and even fashionable shawls. They can provide that little extra warmth you need during unpredictable spring mornings and add a dash of style to boot.

Footwear Transition

Stepping into spring means trading those heavy winter boots for lighter, more versatile footwear. Embrace ankle boots; they're the perfect middle ground, pairing beautifully with both skirts and jeans. But if it's laid-back vibes you're after, the ongoing sneaker trend offers a stylish blend of comfort and cool. From classic whites to vibrant patterns, sneakers instantly elevate both dresses and denim. With the right footwear, you can stride into the season feeling both confident and chic.

Adapting Accessories

Switching up your accessories and add-ons can inject fresh energy into your outfits. Think lightweight scarves that dance with the breeze, adding both colour and character. More importantly, now is the perfect time to invest in statement hats, for they can redefine an entire look. 


And for that extra dash of personality? Nothing speaks louder than statement jewellery. Bold necklaces or whimsical earrings can turn even the simplest of outfits into a runway-ready ensemble. Remember, spring is all about renewal and reinvention, and with the right accessories, every outfit can blossom with newfound charm.

Updating Bottoms

Featuring Our Moulin Pant - Black

Ditch those heavy winter pants, darling, because spring is whispering sweet nothings, urging you to flaunt those legs! Say hello to breezy skirts that make every twirl feel like a dance with daisies. And for those who prefer a chic stride, cropped trousers are your new BFFs. They're airy, sassy, and a perfect match for those impromptu brunch dates. Remember, this season is all about feeling as good as you look. So, pick bottoms that aren't just on-point but also let you vibe with the playful spirit of spring. After all, in the world of fashion, every step should be a head-turner!

Spring Dresses

Featuring Our Izzy Dress - Geo

In the symphony of seasons, spring would undoubtedly sing odes to the timeless allure of dresses. As days linger and blossoms come to life, dresses stand tall as the emblem of springtime elegance, effortlessly capturing the season's essence. The reason for all this love? It's all about versatility. 

On those golden afternoons, let it dance freely, mirroring the joy and rejuvenation of spring. And for those days when the air still holds a hint of winter’s chill? No worries. A dress's grace isn't reserved for balmy days alone. The trick lies in artful layering. Slide into tights under that playful mini, or let a breezy cardigan cascade over a floor-grazing maxi, striking the perfect balance of cosy and chic. Midi dresses, with their poised silhouette, are the perfect dance partners for ankle boots, making them your style saviour during spring's moody weather shifts.

Storage and Organization

For optimal storage of winter items, start by cleaning each piece according to its care label. Use breathable cotton bags for woollens to prevent moth damage, and consider vacuum-sealed bags to maximise closet space. Store heavier items at the bottom and lighter ones atop. Seasonal decluttering is crucial: donate or repurpose clothes you haven't worn in a year to keep your wardrobe streamlined.

Inspiration from Fashion Icons

When transitioning your wardrobe, look to fashion experts for inspiration. Observe trends set by icons like Olivia Palermo for chic layering or Alexa Chung's effortless blend of seasonal pieces. Scour Instagram or fashion magazines to gather practical outfit ideas, ensuring you're not only on-trend but also adapting to the season seamlessly. Got TikTok? If you do, make sure to follow #TikTokFashion to check what’s hip and hot for all ages!

Personalising the Transition

Featuring Our Bayeaux Wrap Top - Artichoke

Navigating the seasonal wardrobe shift isn't just about following the latest colours, fabrics, or popular items. While these can serve as guidelines, it's paramount to wear what truly resonates with you. Start with versatile staples, such as the timeless basics, and layer them in ways that reflect your essence. Even as you experiment, remember to prioritise comfort and authenticity. Though there are many suggested trends out there, your unique flair and confidence are the most fashionable statements you can make. 

Conclusion

As winter's frosty vibe starts to chill out and make way for spring's sassy mood, think of your wardrobe as the latest page-turner, all set for its next juicy chapter. This isn't just about ditching the bulky and getting flirty with lighter pieces; it's your runway moment for reinvention and that self-glow-up. Dance with textures, flirt with colours, and get playful with patterns in a fashion-forward fusion. And while every style guru out there has a "must-have" spring list, let your inner diva decide the playlist. Sure, snap up some inspo, but rock what feels 100% you. Take this seasonal switch as less of a chore and more of an excuse for a whole new lookbook. 

Because babe…spring isn't just about the world blossoming; it's your time to bloom in full glam.

    Nursing-Friendly Winter Clothes: Comfort and Style for Mums

    

    Hey there, Mums! As the winter chill sets in, we all know how important it is to stay warm and cosy while tackling those mum duties. But if you're nursing, finding comfortable and practical winter clothing that allows easy access for breastfeeding can feel like an Arctic expedition! And we know that while fashion is not your top priority right now, you can still look fabulous and feel beautiful with a few strategic pieces. Not sure what that means?

    Fear not, because we've got you covered with some easy, fabulous nursing-friendly winter fashion that will keep you both snug and stylish throughout the season while keeping your little one’s tummy full. 

    Layering Essentials for Nursing Moms

    Featuring Our Billie Knit - Emerald

    Layering is the name of the game during winter, and it's no different for nursing mums. But let's face it; trying to nurse while bundled up like an Eskimo can quickly put ice in your veins! That's why it's crucial to focus on the lower layers and keep your top layer all about accessibility.

    A clever trick to keep your neck warm without compromising on nursing convenience is to wear a turtleneck dickie under your favourite sweater, and you'll be cosy and ready to nurse in a jiffy. 

    If this is not your style or you’re having trouble finding the colour that’s right for you, we’ve got an even better solution! 

    Our Billie Knit line offers the perfect nursing-friendly cardigans that are not only cosy and stylish but also open quickly and discreetly for breastfeeding time. With options like the Taupe Billie Knit, Denim Blue Billie Cardigan, and Black Billie Knit, you can stay warm, nurse with ease, and look fabulous all winter long.

    Functional Dresses for Nursing Mums

    Featuring Our Delilah Dress

    Who said nursing mums can't rock dresses during winter? Embrace the versatility of our dress collection with nursing-friendly designs that make breastfeeding a breeze. For example, our black Fresia dress is not only fashion-forward but also allows easy access for nursing, so you don't have to compromise on style or convenience.

    But here's a little secret: you can also achieve nursing-friendly comfort with an apron dress by pairing it with a lycra or stretch-fabric shirt underneath. This not only adds warmth but also provides easy access for nursing your little one. 

    Our Freez apron dresses offer a wide selection of chic nursing-friendly options. You'll be thrilled to discover a range of fashion-forward choices that will keep you looking fabulous while you take care of your precious bundle of joy.

    Comfortable Bottoms for Nursing Moms

    Featuring Our Slouch Pant Collection

    Comfort is key, especially when it comes to bottoms for nursing mums. During the winter months, opt for maternity pants or stretchy leggings that provide both style and flexibility. High-waisted styles are particularly perfect for postpartum comfort, giving you the support you need for your changing body while ensuring you stay on trend and toasty.

    Slouch pants for women are an excellent choice for easy movement and chic vibes. Not only do they offer a laid-back look, but they also give you the freedom to move around comfortably while attending to your little one's needs.

    On the other hand, women’s jogger pants are another go-to option for nursing mums during the winter season. With their stretchy and comfortable fabric, they are perfect for mums on the move. Not to mention, they offer a fashionable and sporty “athleisure” look that's all the rage these days.

    Choosing Nursing-Friendly Winter Accessories

    Featuring Our Scarf - Floral Tan Tassel

    If you’re nursing, you can still find ways to feel like a million dollars with the help of a few carefully chosen accessories. The best ones to reach for add cosy warmth, enhance your style, and won’t get in the way when it’s time to nurse. Our favourites are scarves, shawls, and nursing covers! They help keep the chill away and provide a touch of elegance and energy to your outfits.

    Tips for Building a Nursing-Friendly Winter Wardrobe

    Featuring Our Drew Knit - Navy

    As a nursing mum, you don’t have time to fuss with your outfits every day. The key is to build a winter wardrobe that effortlessly combines comfort and style. No more fumbling with layers, unforgiving fabrics, removing multiple layers, or feeling restricted while trying to breastfeed your little one. 

    Let's dive into some fantastic tips to help you curate a functional and fashion-forward nursing-friendly winter wardrobe that will keep you feeling comfortable, confident, and cosy all season long.

    1. Embrace Nursing-Friendly Staples

    The key to a successful winter mummy wardrobe is having a strong foundation of nursing-friendly staples. We can’t emphasise this enough. Invest in pieces that are easy to open and close quickly when it's time to breastfeed, such as our Drew Knits. They are designed to provide comfort and convenience for nursing mums like you without compromising on style. 

    2. Opt for Versatile Layers

    Layering is essential for staying warm during winter, but it can pose a challenge when you’re nursing. Bulky pieces, fasteners to navigate, or too many layers can turn feeding time into a production. Our advice? Focus on pieces that can be easily opened for breastfeeding, and avoid wearing too many layers on top that can make nursing cumbersome. Additionally, stick to tank tops or nursing-friendly tops as your base layer, and keep the topmost layer simple and easily accessible.

    3. Mix and Match Neutrals

    When building your nursing-friendly winter wardrobe, focus on neutral colours. Neutrals are not only timeless and versatile but also easy to mix and match, allowing you to create various stylish outfits with minimal effort. Black, grey, navy and beige are classic choices that complement any winter ensemble.

    4. Create a Winter Capsule Wardrobe

    Consider creating a winter capsule wardrobe to simplify your daily outfit decisions. A capsule wardrobe consists of a curated collection of essential and interchangeable pieces that can be mixed and matched to create endless outfits! This approach saves time and ensures you always have stylish and nursing-friendly options at hand, which is what every busy mum needs.

    Casual Date Outfits: A Guide for Every Occasion

    

    Are you ready to amp up your casual date attire and work some real fashion magic? Then you’re  in for a treat! We've prepared a terrific fashion guide just for you.

    Prepare to be transported into the delightful world of casual date fashion, where we'll serve up some genuinely fashionable and effortlessly cool year-round outfit ideas. 

    Whether you're meeting someone special for a cosy coffee date or starting on an exciting journey, we've got you covered with the hottest outfits to make you feel like a million dollars. 

    So grab your favourite cup of coffee and come along with us as we show you how to put together stunning casual date ensembles that put the spotlight on you. Let's get started, ladies, and find the perfect look to make you feel confident, relaxed, and ready to make lasting memories on your next casual date!

    7 General Date Outing Tips

     

    Featuring Our Festival Shrug - Zebra

     

    Getting ready for a date can be stressful enough, your outfit doesn’t need to add to it. That’s why we put together some practical suggestions that you’ll want to tuck away. We’ll start with seven general tips to make sure that your outfits for casual dates are both fun and fashionable, while you stay comfortable so you can focus on your date, not your clothes..

    1. Embrace the sun in light colours. If your outing entails soaking up the rays at the beach or on a picnic, reach for light colours. Pastels and neutrals will help keep you cool by reflecting sunlight, and radiate a fresh, dynamic mood that fits your outdoor adventures.
    2. Smart layering with thermal underwear. Planning a date in cooler weather? Don't shy away from using thermal underwear as a base layer. It keeps you cosy without compromising on style. So, say goodbye to bulky outfits and embrace a more casual and streamlined look.
    3. Easily stow outer layers for versatility. It’s happened to all of us - your carefully chosen outfit doesn’t make it past mid-day before you’re ready to change. To avoid that, be prepared for changing weather conditions on a casual date. Choose outer layers that can be stowed or removed easily, such as light coats, cardigans, or shrugs. This way, you can easily adapt your outfit to the temperature, ensuring comfort throughout the day.
    4. Choose the right fabric. For your outerwear, fabrics like cotton or nylon provide breathability and comfort. Leather and wool may be too hot and constricting during your trips. By selecting the right materials, you can move freely and enjoy your time together to the fullest.
    5. Prepare for afternoon temperature changes. Many regions have large temperature swings, especially around 3 p.m., when the heat peaks. To stay comfortable, plan your layers accordingly. Consider outerwear that you can shed during the warm afternoon and put back on once the sun goes down.
    6. Warmer weather, cool outfits. For the warmer months, flaunt a casual and elegant look with a light summer dress and comfortable sandals. This easy breezy ensemble shows off your laid-back charm while keeping you cool.
    7. Cooler temperature, cosy appeal. As the temperature cools, keep the cosiness factor high by pairing a fashionable oversized sweater with jeans and ankle boots for an ideal blend of comfort and style.

    These fantastic suggestions will have you looking great on all of your casual dates, no matter the season!

    Coffee/Food Dates

    Featuring Our Slouch Pant - Tan/Black Spot

    Are you looking to WOW that special someone on your coffee or lunch date, without looking like you tried too hard? Choosing the right outfit is the key to feeling confident and enjoying the moment. Here are some great ideas to help get you there!

    • Sweater + Leggings Combo. Wearing an oversized sweater with sleek leggings is a guaranteed way to look both cosy and put together for those cooler days. This look screams "chill" and is ideal for a cafe. Accessorise with a nice bag to complete the look.
    • Loose Pants and Breezy Shirt. Bring a relaxed vibe with loose-fitting pants and a breezy shirt. This combination offers both comfort and fashion, making it ideal for a leisurely date. Finish it off with a bold necklace, which will also help draw attention to your beautiful face.
    • Shorts and a Comfy Shirt. On warmer days, opt for shorts paired with a loose, comfortable shirt. This easy-going outfit ensures you stay cool and relaxed during your date. Pair with vintage flats or strappy sandals for that laid-back preppy look.
    • Outdoor Patio Chic. If you're going on a coffee or dinner date on a patio, think about wearing a form-fitting top with flowy bottoms to avoid accidental spills and stains. Choose sandals or open-toed shoes to prevent your feet from getting too hot.
    • Weather-Wise Accessories. Keep in mind that if your date involves a patio, it may get breezy, so light hats and scarves that catch the wind are best avoided. Instead, consider adding attractive sunnies to protect your eyes while adding a fashionable touch to your outfit.

    Evening Dates/Date Nights

  • When Building Your Outfit, Future Proof Yourself

    Featuring Our Tiered Animal Cardi

    When it comes to casual date outfits, the goal is to create a style that is both stylish and flexible for any occasion that may arise. You never know when a picnic will turn into a walk by the harbor or a bike ride in the park. Let's go over some practical tips for future-proofing your outfit for a casual date, so you're ready for any spur-of-the-moment activity. 

    1. Invest in versatile pieces. When putting together your casual date wardrobe, search for pieces that you can be easily mix and match to give you multiple looks. This will help you be prepared for any casual date scenarios without investing in a large wardrobe. A neutral-coloured blazer, well-tailored jacket, or a classic wrap dress are wonderful examples of clothing that can easily transition from one occasion to the next.
    1. Don’t focus on fads. While current fads may be appealing and even tempting, they can quickly become obsolete, leaving you with a closet full of pieces you never want to wear again. Instead, look for timeless elements that will stay fashionable, no matter the trend. Classics such as a white button-down shirt, well-fitted denim, and a little black dress are always safe bets.
    1. Opt for timeless fabrics and prints. Classic fabrics such as cotton, linen, and wool are not only comfortable but also stylish. Likewise, classic motifs such as stripes, polka dots, and houndstooth will keep your casual date ensembles appearing timeless, no matter the season. 
    1. Stick with minimalist combos. When it comes to future-proofing your wardrobe, simplicity is crucial. Choose minimalist combinations that are both easy and stylish. A crisp white shirt with black trousers, or a modest midi dress with neutral accessories, for example, will always seem elegant and put-together.
    1. Wear knits and coats. Because they are as functional as they are stylish, knits and coats never go out of style. Choose neutral colours that will go with any outfit and keep you looking stylish no matter the season.

    Just How Prepared Do You Want To Be?

    Featuring Our Lounge Pants - Green Leopard

    A little pre-date planning can keep your focus on that special someone, not on what you’re wearing. With these helpful tips, we’ll help you nail that casual chic date look whether you’re going for a day in the hot sun or for coffee in the cool air con of a cafe. 

    • Prepare for bugs and sun. If your casual date takes you outdoors, it's crucial to dress for comfort and protection. Look for breathable, full-length bottoms like lounge pants or flowy skirts to shield your legs from bugs and sun exposure. Complete your look with a good hat to shield your face and partial sleeves to protect your arms from the sun.
    • The Classic Jeans and Tee Combo. When heading to an indoor venue, you can't go wrong with the timeless jeans and tee-shirt combo. It's oh-so stylish and comfortable, making it an ideal choice for catching a band or strolling through a museum.
    • Amp it up with accessories. If you're concerned about going too casual, here’s our favourite secret! Invest in accessories that will elevate your ensemble. A striking necklace, a beautiful scarf, or some eye-catching earrings may instantly elevate and add refinement to your ensemble.

    Now let's master the golden rules of styling tops and bottoms!

    • One solid, one not. Experiment with your colour combinations. If you want to wear pants in a solid colour, choose a patterned or textured top to add visual interest. Here’s another example - for a beautiful and comfy outdoor date outfit, pair a solid-coloured flowy shirt with patterned lounge trousers. Add a wide-brimmed hat to protect yourself from the sun, and you're good to go!
    • One tight, one loose. Combine tight and loose-fitting garments to create a balanced profile. For instance, if you're wearing fitted jeans, match them with a flowy top for a more balanced look. You can switch it up by wearing a form-fitting top with a loose bottom (remember our suggestion earlier?).

    And finally, here are some essentials to keep in your bag at all times, especially for those perfect dates that flow from one activity to the next. These will keep you looking and feeling fresh, well into the night:

    • Makeup for quick touch-ups (lipstick, powder, eyeliner, mascara)
    • Deodorant
    • A spare shirt
    • A change of earrings or a bracelet
    • Bug spray
    • Sunscreen
    • Hand moisturiser
    • Breath mints

    Start With Your Shoes

    No matter what your dreamy date has planned, staying casual and comfortable is not only doable, but necessary. And it all starts with the shoes you wear. The right kicks can make or break an outfit, so let's look at some tips to keep the focus on romance, not your aching feet.

    • Casual Outings. If your casual date entails a lot of walking, touring gorgeous vineyards, or participating in outdoor activities, you can have both comfort and style. Choose boots or comfortable trainers to keep your feet happy and supported all day long. 
    • Indoor Elegance. You can still bring low-key elegance to your date outfit without the clatter of heels when your date moves indoors, such as a cosy cafe or a chilled-out art gallery. Instead, go for stylish alternatives like wedges, sandals, or thongs to give you the perfect blend of dressy-casual and comfort.

    When it comes to casual clothing, comfort and versatility reign supreme. But with so many options, it can be hard to know where to start.

    Other Tips

    1. Hair Ties. A well-chosen hair accessory, whether a fashionable scrunchie, a beautiful ribbon, or a simple hairband can give a whimsical or elegant touch to your entire appearance.
    2. Nails. A fresh coat of nail paint may make all the difference in the world. Your choices are endless, so depending on your mood, reach for a neutral colour, a bright pastel hue, or a dramatic statement colour to accent your clothing and add a flash of personality to your hands.
    3. Glasses. If you wear specs, choose a frame that suits your face shape and enhances your features. Embrace your geek-chic side or go for elegant shades to protect your eyes from the sun.
    4. Bracelets. Stackable bracelets or delicate bangles can lend a touch of elegance and uniqueness to your wrists. Choose items that suit the colour palette of your outfit or mix and match for a boho-inspired style. Just make sure they don’t make too much noise every time you move your hands!
    5. Makeup Magic. Coloured eyeshadow, eyeliner, or lipstick can work wonders to elevate your casual outfit. A pop of vibrant colour on your eyes or lips can instantly transform your look from day to night, making it perfect for an impromptu evening date.

    Comfort And Style Are The Perfect Pairing For Winter Wine Tour Outfits

    If you’re planning a special outing to discover a new favourite winery, after you choose where to go, you need to decide what to wear! Choosing the right outfit for a winery visit is more than just a matter of aesthetics; it plays a significant role in enhancing your overall experience. Comfort should be a top priority, as you'll be spending a considerable amount of time strolling through vineyards, sampling wines, and enjoying the ambience. At the same time, style and practicality shouldn't be compromised, as wineries often have a certain charm and elegance - and possibly a dress code - that can inspire your sartorial choices. By carefully selecting your winter wine tour outfits, you can strike the perfect balance between looking fashionable and feeling relaxed throughout the day.

    In this guide, we'll share some of our best advice and suggestions for how to dress comfortably and attractively for your much-anticipated winter wine tour. We'll explore  wardrobe options that mix warmth, refinement, and versatility. This means everything from layering strategies and suitable footwear to accessories that lend a touch of flair. So, whether you're a seasoned wine aficionado or a first-time winery visitor, prepare to take your winter wine tour attire to new levels of comfort and fashion.

    What to Wear to a Winery: Outfit Inspiration

    Featuring Our Leopard Cardi - Tan

    Wineries automatically inspire a certain elegance, so choosing the right outfit can help elevate your experience. Is your wardrobe winery-ready? We've come up with some outfit inspiration that strikes the perfect balance between comfort, weather adaptability, and impeccable style. Perfect for exploring vineyards, savouring delicious blends, or simply enjoying the picturesque ambiance, these ensembles will ensure you feel confident and fabulous.

    • Timeless Elegance. Embrace a touch of tradition with a dress and cardigan combo. Opt for a flowy midi dress in a rich jewel tone or a classic floral print to add a romantic allure. Pair it with a cosy, chunky-knit cardigan that compliments the colour palette of your dress. Complete the look with ankle boots or knee-high boots for a chic and polished appearance. This OOTD exudes sophistication while keeping you warm and comfortable during your winter wine tour.
    • Casual Chic. Put together a chic and laid-back look by pairing trendy tops with slacks or denim. Choose a pair of dark washed or neutral-coloured tailored pants that fit you well, and pair with a chic top or a lightweight sweater. Scarves and statement necklaces are great ways to add a splash of colour or design to your outfit. Finish the outfit off with some ankle boots or loafers, both of which are practical and fashionable for exploring. This is a wonderful combination of relaxed ease and refined simplicity.
    • Flirty and Fun. Embrace the feminine side of winery fashion with a skirt and top combination. Choose a flared or pleated skirt in a fun print like flowers or polka dots. Depending on the temperature, pair it with a fitted shirt or a cosy sweater. Add a fashionable belt to the set to define your waistline and add a touch of charm. For a comfy and stylish look, pair with ballet flats or low-heeled boots. You’ll feel like an elegant muse amidst the scenic winery landscapes.

    Remember, accessories are the secret ingredient to elevate any outfit. Consider adding a wide-brimmed hat, oversized sunglasses, delicate jewellery, or a trendy belt bag to enhance your ensemble. 

    Regardless of the outfit you choose, make comfort as the foundation of your winery attire. Select breathable fabrics that allow you to move freely and regulate your body temperature. Layering is key for cooler temperatures, so have a stylish cardigan or wrap on hand for extra warmth. And don't forget to wear comfortable shoes suitable for walking on various terrains.

    With these inspiring winter wine tour outfits, you're well-equipped to dress confidently and stylishly. So, prepare to sip, swirl, and savour in style as you embark on an unforgettable winery experience. 

    Daytime Winery Outfits

    Featuring Our Rayon Overall - Olive

    When it comes to daytime winery outings, comfort and style go hand in hand. Here is some fashion inspiration to help you manage your midday winery adventures with ease.

    • When it comes to daytime winery wear, light colours take front stage. They not only reflect the sun's rays, keeping you cool, but they also emanate a fresh and polished look that complements the vineyards' natural beauty. Consider using a palette of white, beige, cream, or pastel colours and mixing them for an eye-catching contrast.
    • Prioritise loose-fitting attire that allows you to move freely and enjoy the day without feeling constricted for maximum comfort. Flowy blouses, wide-leg slacks, and shorts are excellent choices. Choose breathable fabrics and bring along a shrug or cardigan in case you need a bit of warming up.
    • Comfortable footwear is an absolute must for any daytime winery outfit. Leave the heels at home and opt for flats, sandals, sneakers, or boots that effortlessly mix style and functionality. Prioritise shoes that provide adequate support and are appropriate for walking on a variety of terrains. Don't forget to accessorise with a hat, sunglasses, or a lightweight scarf to shield yourself from the sun while also adding a personal touch to your ensemble.

    Now, let's talk about a standout piece for your daytime winery adventures – our Rayon Overall. Crafted from soft and breathable fabric, these overalls drape beautifully on your body, ensuring all-day comfort. Available in a range of light colours, these overalls perfectly complement the winery ambiance. Finish the look when you wear a simple tee or tank top underneath, and don’t forget to accessorise!

    Evening Winery Outfits

    Featuring Our Izzy Dress - Black

    When the sun sets and the winery ambiance takes on a more enchanting glow, it's time to embrace the allure of evening events or romantic date nights. Here are three winter wine tour outfits to inspire your evening winery look.

    • Floral Jumpsuit. Make an impression in a floral jumpsuit, which mixes ease and style. The whimsical floral pattern will liven up any outfit. Wearing a kitten heel or wedges, a chic purse, and well-curated jewellery will round out the ensemble.
    • Chic Dress. This is a timeless choice for evening winery events, seamlessly transitioning from day to night. Embrace the versatility of a classic black dress or express your personality with a pop of colour or a captivating print. 
    • Dressy Separates. For ladies who prefer to mix and match, dressy separates offer endless possibilities for creating your own winery outfit. Dress up a skirt or tailored pants with a chic blouse or cosy sweater, depending on the season and the event. Use fabrics and textures that contrast one another to create visual interest. Add sophistication and comfort by layering a blazer or cardigan over your outfit. 

    When selecting your evening winery outfit, don’t forget to inquire about the venue's dress code and the level of formality of the event. Some wineries have a more relaxed atmosphere so casual chic outfits will do, while others may require something more formal.

    Accessories and Finishing Touches

    Featuring Our Stripe Scarf - Beige/Cream

    To truly amp up your winter wine tour outfits, it's all about the finishing touches. These small but impactful details have the power to transform your look from ordinary to extraordinary. Let's explore the significance of accessories in completing your winery outfits.

    • Start with head-turning accessories. Consider a stylish straw hat for a touch of charm and to protect you from the sun's rays as you stroll through the vineyards. Pair it with fashionable sunnies for an air of glamour. 
    • Statement earrings are another must-have accessory. Choose bold, eye-catching designs that add a touch of elegance and drama to your ensemble. Whether you opt for intricate metallic pieces, vibrant gemstone accents, or bohemian-inspired tassels, statement earrings are sure to make a stylish impact.
    • When it comes to handbags, consider a woven or straw option that exudes a rustic charm, perfectly complementing the winery setting. Not only are they on-trend, but they also provide ample space for your essentials while adding a touch of textural interest to your outfit. Choose a style that suits your personal taste, whether it's a small crossbody bag or a roomy tote.
    • Footwear is a crucial element that should not be overlooked. Opt for comfortable yet stylish options such as sandals, wedges, or stylish flats. These choices will let you focus on the vineyard and not your aching feet. Look for designs that offer support and stability while reflecting your personal style.

    Together, let’s explore the art of accessorising and provide you with valuable outfit accessories ideas and tips to complete your look every time. No more guessing needed!

    Whether you're dressing up for a special occasion or putting together a casual chic look for school runs or coffee with the girls, we've got you covered.

    Let’s Talk About Colour Theory

    Featuring Our Festival Shrug - Red

    Colour plays a crucial role in fashion, and understanding a little about colour theory can help you create stunning outfits every time, and with very little effort. 

    What is the Colour Theory?

    Have you ever put on a shirt or sweater and felt like your skin looked totally washed out, or on the flip side, the colour seemed to make your skin glow? Red looks fabulous on you, but blue makes you feel drab. That’s the magic of colour, and by understanding a little more about colour theory, you’ll be able to find the hues that make you look like a million bucks. 

    In fashion, you can use the colour theory to determine whether your skin tone categorises you as a winter, spring, summer, or autumn. This is called seasonal colour analysis, and will help determine which colours work best for you.

    Understanding the basic principles of colour theory can help you to create eye-catching outfits and find accessories that will highlight your features. Let's talk more about the summer, spring, winter and autumn seasonal categories:

    Summer

    The summer palette involves cooler colours, such as light blues, greens, and lavenders. Pastel shades like pale yellows and pinks also work well if you have a summer seasonal palette. Additionally, you’ll look good in tans and greys.

    Spring 

    If you’re a spring type of gal, bright, warm colours, such as oranges, yellows and reds are your top choices. Rose and coral are also good options. For neutral tones, you should reach for that beige or cream top or pants.

    Winter

    Women with the winter palette can get that ethereal glow in darker jewel-toned hues, such as blues, purples, and greens. In contrast, vibrant shades of reds or pinks that have a cool undertone will work for them. Black and white also complement their skin.

    Autumn

    Autumn ladies will look radiant in rich colours like deep reds, oranges and browns. Outfits in earthy tones like olive green or mustard yellow are also your best bets along with neutral shades of greys and beiges.

    Start with a Colour Scheme

    When it comes to choosing the right pieces to make your look really pop, the key is in finding pieces that complement each other and create a cohesive look. An easy way to do this is by selecting accessories that share a colour palette. 

    Choose a colour scheme that complements your dress and enhances its beauty. Consider whether warm (yellows, oranges, reds) or cool tones (greens, blues, purples) suit your look best.

    Pay Attention to Your Skin Tone

    Your skin tone can affect how certain colours look on you. Determine if you have a warm or cool skin tone, and choose accessories that harmonise with it. There is a very simple way to determine your skin tone. Look at veins on the inside of your wrist. If they appear blue or bluish, you are cool-tones. If they look more green, you are warm-toned. 

    For you cooler complexion ladies, choose jewellery or pieces that include lighter metallics, such as silver and gold to set off your inner glow. You can also opt for gemstone colours that have blue undertones, like turquoise, aquamarine or sapphire. 

    If you have a warmer skin tone, opt for yellow-based golds or rose golds, as well as red-hued gemstone colours like rubies and garnets. The right accessory will help to bring out your natural beauty and add an extra touch of glamour to your outfit.

    How to Accessorise a Dress

    Featuring Our Gemma Necklace - Silver

    Accessorising your favourite dress involves careful consideration to ensure a cohesive and stylish look without going overboard. It can be tempting to pile on the accessories, but a few well-chosen items can often go further to showcase your style than having it look like you emptied out your accessory stash!

    Dress Accessorising Tips

    Here are some of our favourite tips to help you find just the right balance:

    Consider Your Dress Shape

    When it comes to choosing accessories for your outfit, always consider the shape of your dress first. For instance, if you're rocking a flowy maxi dress, go for those delicate and boho-inspired accessories to keep that airy vibe, as opposed to big, bulky pieces that will weigh down the look. But if you're going for a sophisticated, polished look in a structured and tailored dress, aim for sleek and modern pieces to match.

    Maximise Negative Space

    Did you know that dresses can have negative space? You may not have heard the term before, but it plays an important role in accessorising. Negative space includes the parts of a dress or outfit between cutouts or the pattern/texture. When it comes to accessories, here's the trick: strategically use pieces to enhance those empty spaces to build a balanced look.

    If your dress has a print around the neckline and hem, adding a belt to the negative space can draw attention to your curves, removing any blockiness that the pattern may create. For an open back, go for a necklace that falls beautifully hangs down your back, or opt for a flowing scarf that draws attention to that stunning open-back detail. It's all about making the most of those blank spaces and turning them into eye-catching focal points.

    Complement the Neckline

    The neckline of your dress is a prime example of a focal point and negative space, and the right accessories can enhance its beauty. Choose necklaces or earrings that complement the neckline shape. 

    Imagine you're wearing a dress with a keyhole neckline. That’s a perfect opportunity to draw attention to it! Choose a statement necklace with a pendant that drops in the keyhole. For a V-neck dress, a pendant necklace and drop earrings are a perfect choice, while statement earrings and a choker necklace can add elegance to an off-shoulder dress.

    Highlight the Dress’s Features

    Knowing your fashion accessories is key to choosing the right pieces that accentuate what you want to highlight, whether it's your waistline, shoulders, decolletage, or legs.

    For example, if you want to draw attention to your waistline, rock a statement belt that cinches and accentuates your hourglass figure. And if you're looking to add some sparkle to a one-colour or monochrome dress, a dazzling brooch is just the ticket. Oh, and if you're wearing a sleeveless dress, don't forget to add a bracelet to bring some extra attention to those fabulous arms of yours.

    Remember, when selecting accessories, it's important to consider the fabric and pattern of your dress, too. A captivating necklace will truly shine against a plain material, but it might get lost if paired with a busy print or a heavy texture.

    Now, let's talk about one of the best dress accessories ideas we have for you. Our Freez black sling is a game-changer! Its sleek design adds an edgy finish to your outfit, especially if you're rocking a bright or pastel long-sleeved dress. Not only will you have hands-free freedom, but you’ll accentuate your lovely shoulders. It's all about creating that stylish contrast and elevating your look without even trying.

    Accessorising a Busy Print Dress

    Featuring Our Fresia Dress - Floral

    When your dress has a bold print, like our Fressia Dresses, opt for simpler accessories that won't overpower or fight with the pattern. Choose accessories that complement the colours in the print rather than compete with them.

    When it comes to accessorising a busy print dress, remember the magic of delicate jewellery pieces. Think small stud earrings or a simple pendant necklace to maintain a harmonious balance with that vibrant pattern. 

    Subtle and understated accessories can work wonders in seamlessly tying your entire outfit together. So, embrace the power of those dainty details and let your vibrant print dress take centre stage.

    Accessorising a Solid Colour Dress

    Featuring Our Harper Necklace - Silver

    On the other hand, solid colour dresses provide a perfect canvas for creating visual interest with bold accessories. 

    These will add instant texture and dimension - and interest - to your outfit. Let your creativity shine through and reach for different materials like leather, metal, or fabric for your accessories to create a bit of a surprise.

    Select pieces in colours that will make your dress pop. For example, if you're wearing a vibrant red dress, accessories in neutral shades like black or metallics can create a sophisticated and balanced ensemble.

    Experiment with accessories such as belts, scarves, or statement necklaces to add visual interest and create a coordinated look.

    How to Accessorise a Casual Chic Look

    Featuring Our Cleo Knit - Black

    Getting casual chic right will give you that carefree, relaxed vibe, but that doesn’t mean it needs less attention. Here's the deal: carefully chosen highlights can take your outfit to the next level without making it look like you tried too hard.

    First up: fabulous sunnies! Every stylish gal needs at least one go-to pair. Not only do they protect your eyes from the sun, but they also add that cool factor to your look. Classic aviators, trendy cat-eye and oversized frames, or retro-inspired round sunglasses are all excellent choices to showcase your personal style.

    Next up is handbags. They're an easy way to add a fashionable touch while being practical. Whether it's a crossbody sling or a chic backpack, these options keep your essentials in check and your hands free, all while elevating your outfit's style. Keep size and pattern in mind. Don’t weigh down a formal look with a large tote or backpack, and avoid a structured top-handle when you’re heading for a day at the park.

    Last of course, the perfect hat! It's a versatile accessory that adds a touch of style to your casual look. Whether you go for a fedora, wide-brimmed hat, or a trendy cap, choose a style that complements your face shape and outfit.

    Remember, nailing your casual chic look is all about mixing and matching accessories while maintaining that effortless style. Experiment with different combinations and have fun expressing your unique fashion sense. Don’t be afraid to be bold or unexpected and show off your personality.

    Oh, and speaking of elevating your outfit, one place to start is with our Cleo Knit collection. It features a black jumper and cardigan with a cheetah print accent. It's that touch of wild flair that takes a simple outfit from ordinary to extraordinary, even on those everyday occasions. Dare to add a little bit of wildness to your style!

    The Best General Accessories

    Featuring Our Abstract Frill Dress - Black

    To really win at the style game, ladies, it pays to know your fashion accessories. Certain pieces tend to look good with anything and can finish off any outfit. They have the power to transform your look, and for us ladies on the go, are life-savers when you need a quick change between commitments, or if you’re travelling and want to stretch your looks. Here are some general tips to consider when building your go-to stash:

    Neutral Colour Accessories

    Neutral-coloured accessories, such as gold or silver jewellery, black handbags or nude-toned scarves and hats, can be versatile and complement a variety of looks. They are timeless and give a certain elegance to your style, not to mention go with so many different pieces. It’s a great way to create multiple looks with a few base pieces.

    We love pairing neutrals with our Abstract Frill Dresses, easily transitioning your look from office chic to an elegant night out with a few strategic swaps.

    Print and Patterned Accessories

    A pop of print or patterned accessories can make your outfit stand out. Use them to create focal points or to bring together different elements of your ensemble.

    When you're rocking those short sleeves, adorn your wrists with bangles, bracelets, or cuffs. Go for a single, delicate piece for a polished look, or go bold and layer multiple pieces for a fun, even bohemian feel. They not only draw attention to your arms but also make a fabulous style statement. 

    Let's talk about scarves. They're a quick and easy way to inject some energy into a solid-coloured look and show off your beautiful neck. Wrap a vibrant or patterned scarf around your neck, and voila! You've instantly elevated your outfit with a pop of colour and texture. And we all know that a great scarf paired with sunnies instantly makes any woman feel like Jackie-O! 

    And speaking of quick additions, a patterned sling bag is your secret weapon. It adds dimension to your ensemble in a snap. Pair your solid-coloured outfit with a stylish pick featuring a captivating pattern, and you've instantly taken your look to the next level.

    Pairing with Makeup

    Up to this point we’ve been talking about things like belts, necklaces, hats, and sunnies. One accessory we can’t ignore is makeup! Your makeup is the finishing touch that makes that cohesive and put-together appearance. A dewy, slightly bronzed complexion, perfect cat-eyes, lush lashes, and a perfect pout. For date night, you may choose to go bold with your makeup, opting for a bold red lip and a soft, smoky eye. When meeting up with the girls for coffee, a barely-there lip shine and a playful cat-eye liner will set off your look. 

    It's all about choosing a colour palette that compliments your skin tone and your outfit to bring your look together. 

    When it comes to eyeshadow, experiment with coordinating your shadow colour with your jewellery or scarf for an extra pop. If you're going for a warm brown smokey eye, consider choosing gold or bronze accessories. Go with a red lip for a nod to your favourite red heels. 

    Tips on Jewellery

    Featuring Our Cleo Cardi

    Whether it’s a necklace, rings, bracelets, or even your watch, mastering the accessorising game is all about choosing pieces that complement the style and occasion of your outfit. For casual or office wear, delicate and understated pieces work like a charm. But when it's time to glam it up for an evening or formal dress, bold and statement jewellery is the way to go. It adds that touch of drama and makes you shine.

    One of our favourite pieces, Cleo Knit's casual vibe, can be amped up with a chunky necklace and pair of statement earrings.

    Any outfit can look more interesting if you layer one or two necklaces. Experiment with different lengths and styles or materials of necklaces to create a unique layered look.

    And don't forget to consider how the neckline or plunge line of your dress can be enhanced by the right jewellery. For example, if you're rocking a deep V-neck dress, drop earrings and a pendant necklace that follows the shape of the neckline can be the perfect complement. It's those little details that take your outfit to the next level.

    Tips on Earrings

    Drops, studs, chains, even intentionally mismatched earrings can show off your beautiful features, hairstyle and overall look. Knowing what style will best suit your face shape is important. For those of us with round faces, studs or small hoops tend to work like a charm. If you have a square face shape, long and dangling earrings can beautifully elongate your face.

    Now, if you want your earrings to truly stand out, keep the rest of your look minimal. Opt for a sleek hairstyle, or pull your hair back to let those earrings take centre stage. It's their time to shine!

    And speaking of shine, let's consider the colour of your earrings in relation to your outfit. Matte colours can create a sophisticated and polished look, while shiny or metallic earrings bring a touch of glamour and sparkle. It's all about finding the perfect balance and creating a cohesive ensemble.

    Tips on Bags

    Featuring Our Sling Bag - Teal

    Now, it’s time to get to one of our favourite accessories - handbags! Let's talk about the importance of selecting the perfect bag to instantly level up your outfit in terms of both functionality and style. Different occasions call for different bag styles and sizes, so let's break it down.

    When it comes to evening events, clutches or small handbags are your go-to options. They're sleek, elegant, and perfect for carrying just the bare essentials - your phone, lipstick, your ID, and a little bit of cash. 

    On the other hand, for everyday use like school runs or a trip to the shops, sling bags, tote bags, or backpacks are your best friends. They not only accommodate your daily must-haves but also add a practical and fashionable touch to your look.

    Now, when choosing a bag, it's important to consider both practicality and aesthetics. Think about how the bag compliments your outfit and the intended use. 

    For a casual day out, a small crossbody bag, like our Freez coffee sling bag, can be the ideal choice. It's compact, convenient, and adds a trendy touch to your ensemble. Bonus points for keeping your hands free. And if you're looking to elevate your workwear outfit, a structured tote bag or shoulder bag is a winner.

    Speaking of sling bags, our collection has got you covered. We offer a variety of colours and shapes to suit your individual style. These stylish choices are sure to add that trendy and functional element to your outfit. So, make sure to browse our collection and find accessories that perfectly complement your attire.

    Tips on Glasses

    Did you know that your glasses can be an unexpected accessory that adds flair to your overall look? Embrace the opportunity to be daring with your specs! Choose frame shapes and colours that enhance your facial features and match your personal style.

    Chunky frames make a bold statement, while lighter frames offer a more subtle and sophisticated vibe. Explore different frame shapes and colours to find the perfect match for your desired look. And here's a little cheat for those who don't need prescription glasses: you can always pick up a fashionable pair of frames with clear lenses or even no lenses at all! It's all about embracing that trendy eyewear aesthetic.

    Let’s not forget sunglasses. They're a timeless accessory that combines functionality and fashion. Different lens tints can create different moods and styles, while protecting those beautiful peepers. Mirrored lenses add a trendy and edgy touch, while gradient lenses offer a softer and more classic appearance. So, choose the lens tint that suits your vibe and rock those shades with confidence.

    Tips on Scarves

     

    Featuring Our Stripe Scarf - Hot Pink/ Black

     

    This time, let’s dive deep into the magic of scarves, one of the most fun and feminine fashion accessories out there. Whether you go for a long and flowing style or a cute handkerchief design, scarves have the power to transform any look. Get ready to unleash your creativity!

    Experiment with different tying techniques to create a range of stunning looks. From the classic knot to a loose wrap or a trendy infinity loop, scarves instantly add drama, texture, and visual interest to your ensemble. It's like adding that final touch of fabulousness!

    We’ve just got to appreciate our black and white cross print scarves. They're classic pieces that can be styled in so many ways. You can drape it over your shoulders as a chic shawl or knot the ends together at the back of your neck for an effortless vibe.

    You can also use them to add volume and texture to your outfit. Simply loop a longer scarf around your neck twice and tie it into a stylish knot at the front. It's an instant upgrade that takes your look from ordinary to extraordinary.

    Mastering Warm and Cool Tones

    Featuring Our Monique Knit - Tan

    Okay, so remember the seasonal colour palettes we talked about earlier? Understanding these palettes is key to creating harmonious outfits that truly make a statement.

    Warm colours, like radiant reds, oranges, and yellows, bring energy and vibrancy to your look. So, when rocking warm-toned outfits like our Monique Knit in Tan, Peach, and Hot Pink, it's best to complement them with accessories in similar warm shades. Think gold jewellery, warm-toned bags, or even a pair of heels that match the fiery hues.

    On the flip side, cool colours such as calming blues, greens, and purples create a soothing effect. For cool-toned outfits, opt for accessories in coordinating tones to maintain that serene aesthetic. Silver and gold jewellery, a navy bag, or a pair of chic blue heels are fantastic options to complete your ensemble.

    By creating a cohesive colour scheme, you enhance the overall look and allow your accessories to seamlessly blend with your outfit. It's all about that harmonious balance, ladies.

    Now it’s time to discuss your skin tone since it plays a role in how certain colours look on you. Warm skin tones tend to glow with gold-toned accessories, while cool skin tones are flattered by silver or platinum tones. Take your skin undertones into consideration when selecting accessories to ensure they complement your complexion flawlessly, bringing a glow rather than an “Oh no!”

    Remember, ladies, colours have the power to transform your look and enhance your natural beauty. Embrace the warmth or coolness of your skin tone and let your accessories shine. So, go ahead and rock those harmonious colours with confidence!

      • Embrace Sneaker Chic. Sneakers are no longer just for the gym. Embrace the sneaker chic trend by pairing your casual chic outfits with stylish and comfortable sneakers.

      • Flaunt Flats. Flats are the epitome of casual chicness. Choose stylish ballet flats or trendy loafers to add a touch of femininity and comfort to your outfit. They are perfect for those on-the-go days when you want to look fashionable without sacrificing comfort.
      • Rock Those Statement Sandals. As the temperature rises, embrace the beauty of statement sandals. Go for strappy designs, vibrant colours, or unique embellishments to make your footwear the focal point of your outfit. Whether it's a casual beach day or a summer brunch, statement sandals will add that extra oomph to your casual chic look.

       

      Tip #5: Match Hair & Make Up

      When it comes to achieving a truly polished and put-together casual chic look, your hair and makeup play a crucial role. It's all about finding the perfect balance between carefree and glamorous. Here are some tips to help you match your hair and makeup to your fabulous casual chic outfits:

      • Effortless Waves. Embrace those beachy waves for a relaxed and carefree vibe. Create loose curls using a curling iron or try braiding your hair overnight for natural-looking waves. Finish off with a texturizing spray to add volume and movement.
      • Effortless Updo. When you want a more polished and sophisticated look, an effortless updo can do wonders. Try a messy bun, a relaxed top knot, or a tousled ponytail. These hairstyles not only keep your hair out of your face but also exude an air of casualness.
      • Natural Makeup Glow. Keep your makeup fresh and natural to enhance your casual chic look. Opt for a lightweight foundation or tinted moisturiser to even out your skin tone. Add a touch of blush to give your cheeks a healthy flush, and swipe on a neutral eyeshadow shade to define your eyes. Finish with a nude or sheer lip colour for a subtle, polished touch.
      • Bold Lips. If you're looking to make a statement, a bold lip colour can be your secret weapon. Pair your neutral or monochromatic casual chic outfit with a vibrant red, deep berry, or bright coral lipstick. It instantly adds a pop of colour and elevates your entire look. Keep the rest of your makeup minimal to let your lips take centre stage.

      Stylish Mum Outfits: Fashionable Tips for Busy Mothers

      Hey there, fashionistas!

      Today, we're diving headfirst into the exciting world of mum outfits because who says being a mum means sacrificing style? 

      Not us! We know that embracing motherhood doesn't mean bidding farewell to our fashion-forward selves. From casual chic to elegant ensembles, we're here to guide you through the wonderful world of mum outfits that will have you strutting the streets with confidence and panache! 

      Creating Stylish Mum Outfits

      Featuring Our Fresia Dress - Blush

      Becoming a mum brings about a whirlwind of changes, including the way we approach our personal style. Suddenly, our wardrobe choices need to accommodate the demands of motherhood while still reflecting our unique sense of fashion. We've worked closely with mums who have navigated this journey themselves and we understand the challenges we face when it comes to finding the ideal balance between fashion, ease, and practicality.

      Let's face it: as a busy mum, you need outfits that can keep up with your on-the-go lifestyle.  The key is to find that sweet spot where fashion meets functionality. Whether you're chasing after little ones at the playground, running errands, or attending social events, you deserve to feel confident and fabulous in your outfits.

      Now, it's important to note that in this article, we won't be picking tops for nursing mums. If you're looking for tips on nursing-friendly clothes, we've got you covered with our dedicated article on breastfeeding-friendly clothes. Here you can indulge in our collection of chic and functional nursing essentials.

      How to Dress Like a Cool Mum

      Featuring Our Slouch Pant - Tan/Black Spot

      When it comes to nailing the chic mum look, it's all about embracing classic and timeless mum clothes that exude easy style. Let's get into these must-haves that will have you looking and feeling like the classiest mum on the block.

      • Black leggings. They provide comfort and a sleek look.
      • Dark or neutral cardigans. Cardis are perfect for layering and adding sophistication to any ensemble.
      • Colourful tees. These infuse personality into any look making them a great addition to your stylish mum outfits collection.
      • Swappable shrugs. Shrugs add a touch of versatility and style to whatever you’re wearing.
      • Slouch Pant. Stylish and cosy - this bottom is the best for mums-on-the-go.

      To amp up your cool factor, don't forget to accessorise. You simply can't go wrong with any of these:

      • Scarves. Add flair and elegance to any ensemble with vibrant patterns or bold colours.
      • Hats. Whether it's a baseball cap or a beanie, hats add a  laid-back vibe to your look.

      And finally, when it comes to footwear and bags, opt for versatile and comfortable options:

      • Sneakers, flats, and boots. Choose comfortable footwear that doesn't compromise on style.
      • Versatile bags. Look for bags that can accommodate your daily essentials while still looking fashionably on-point. While slings can be convenient for some situations, we understand that they may not always meet the needs of mums with small children. In those instances, explore alternative options that offer both comfort and practicality.
