Each season brings new style essentials, but what do you do when you don’t want to become a slave to fashion, especially when certain trends don’t suit everyone?
We recently spoke to Rachelle from Mallzee, (a shopping app that notifies you when items of clothing you’ve favourited have dropped in price), to find out how we can mix our classic pieces with a few more updated items to make sure we’re still looking fresh.
Add some denim
Denim is always steadfast in every season, and should be a staple in everyone’s wardrobe. From new cuts, washes and distressing – you can dip your toes into the fashion world easily by incorporating one new style of denim. An easy way to update your wardrobe is to invest in a denim jacket this season. Keep the rest of your look simple with tailored trousers and classic trainers.
Go wild with greens
Grunge it up with a splash of green for summer. Whether you prefer greens with flowing depth, or more matte and mottled greens, this colour is the one you need to invest in to take you through the summer months. Add a sophisticated twist to a nighttime look with a sharp green jumper under a navy blazer.

Incorporate neutral tones
Stave off the summer heat in cooling neutral tones, seen cropping up over tailoring, trousers and accessories for SS16. Think dove greys, rich creams and luxe camels, your neutrals will be the basis to all outfits this Summer. Either opt for a head-to-toe look, keeping it timeless, or try a well-executed contrast with sky blue shirts and burgundy brogues. Building from a neutral colour palette will ensure a sleek and well-dressed look every single time.
Mix it up with activewear
If the SS16 shows expressed anything, it was that activewear incorporated into daily-wear is on the rise. Now, don’t think you can just run out in your gym gear, carefully crafted pieces of fashion mixed with athletic aesthetics is what you’re looking for. Ease yourself into the trend with high quality longline tees, bold and chunky trainers, and always keep the palette monochrome. If you’re style is savvy, bring these summer essentials into your smart-casual look by teaming relaxed wool chinos with a classic Calvin Klein sweatshirt and slick Adidas canvas trainers
