FLOWER POWER

The frock to be seen in this season is the yellow floral tea dress. Look for details like ruffled cap sleeves and a gathered waist to hit the fashion mark, then add red accessories to take things up a notch.

Opposite page: Dress, R699, 4 to 20, Edition at Woolworths. Earrings, R110 for set of three pairs; bracelet, R120 for set of two, both Queenspark. Layered necklace, R160; handbag, R450, both Colette by Colette Hayman. Heels, R1 990, Europa Art

SUNSET SHADES

Oranges and reds are hot this summer, and there’s no better way to wear them than from head to toe. Ditch the dress in favour of bright bottoms and a figure-flattering wide-sleeved blouse. Finish the look with a coordinated bag.

Top, R499, 4 to 20, studio.w at Woolworths. Pants, R579, XS to XL, Zara. Earrings, R70; necklace, R120, both Colette by Colette Hayman. Watch, R2 690, Daniel Wellington. Rings, R195 each, both Jangi. Bag, R456, African Pace at Moyo Retail

MIDI MARVEL

A mid-length dress can have maximum impact, especially when you choose heels in a contrasting colour for extra punch. A great investment, this style will see you through the seasons when you swap the block heels for knee high boots and add a leather jacket.

Dress, R1 399, XS to XL, Zara. Earrings, R160; short necklace, R170; thin rings, R120 for set of four, all Colette by Colette Hayman. Long necklace, R250, Poetry. Big ring, R750 Jangi. Handbag, R250, Woolworths. Heels, R3 290, Preview at Europa Art

EYES ON THE PRIZE

A trophy jacket is a real style winner. Team it with block colours and let it speak for itself. Pull out the key colours and match your accessories accordingly. A scalloped blouse is timeless, and tucked in is the only way to work it.
