We’ve enlisted our experts in trend and style to bring you the best answers to your questions. Why? Because few things match the feeling of seeing and knowing that you’re right on the fashion mark. Our trend team’s updates for today’s lesson? Important updates to the all-time classic – denim, this season’s soothing colour palette and a dreamy minimalist footwear collection.

Invest is the right word here. You’ll need time to find the perfect pair. We’re seeing a move away from the super skinny to a straight cut and the mom jean – both with a higher rise. In saying that, it doesn’t mean that a skinny pair is not the one for you. So keep on trying, but believe us, once you are in the correct pair, you’ll know it.

The perfect oversized blazer should fit perfectly on the shoulder and the length should hit the middle of your thigh. The rest is whatever. Long sleeves? Push them up. Style it with a pair of mom jeans and a sneaker for an easy casual look or add it to a midi-skirt with a knee-high boot for some polish.

Sure, we can’t go outside right now, but we have this season’s colour palette of naturals to look forward to. Warm rust and tobacco meet soothing sage and soft pastels such as lilac, butter yellow and creme. Try one hue head to toe for a modern approach to colour.

A classic loafer, a simple strappy sandal, a white sneaker and white ankle boots. Simple!
