Stand out in sassy stripes
Stripes are simple, but they sure do make a statement. Stand tall with vertical stripes – as these are best for creating a slimmer silhouette.
Be fab in floral
We can’t resist a good floral print! Go bright and bold with brave colours and a larger print, or simmer your look down a little with a cool tone and subtle pattern. We adore both!
