So what exactly are essentials? For us, essentials are soft leggings and tights, comfortable trousers, light, slip-on jersey dresses and snug knitted sweaters. All crafted from high-quality, natural fabrics that last for years. With their timeless designs, these pieces are popular with our customers of all ages and body shapes! Our essentials have simple silhouettes with both plain and classic pattern designs, including stripes, dots and flowers. They are wonderfully easy to wear and pair – they’re the key to ensuring you have an outfit for any occasion.

How do you build a good essentials wardrobe? Favourite items you already own make a good starting point for your essentials wardrobe. Perhaps you have some dresses that you would like to wear more often on various occasions? Buy plain and patterned leggings, a cardigan, an underskirt and a fine, long-sleeve top to add versatility to the dresses. Choose the leggings to suit the occasion (everyday or special), pull on the cardigan when the weather calls for added warmth, and create a lovely layered look by wearing a dress over the underskirt and top.

Another approach when creating your capsule wardrobe is to base it on three watchwords... timelessness, quality and versatility. In other words, choose clothes that never go out of fashion, have lasting quality and can be paired in endless combinations. Some suggestions are black leggings, a plain colour or classic pattern cardigan, a go-to dress, straight-leg trousers and a fine, soft top in your favourite colour. When you have these essentials in your wardrobe, you can add other, more unique pieces. This combination of essentials and your unique favourites creates an exciting contrast. You’ll have a style for casual and smart occasions... a style that’s unique to you!
