The clothes you actually wear, as opposed to the ones you own.
Casual is not a lack of effort, it is a different kind of effort. A linen shirt that holds its shape after a day out, trousers with a waistband that does not dig in, a dress you can put on without deciding anything. What sits here is chosen on that test rather than on how it photographs.
What sits in this edit
Around a third of it is dresses, the rest is shirts, blouses, relaxed trousers, tops, a few jackets and matching sets. It is a rayon built around a way of dressing rather than a garment type, which is why you will find a linen shirt next to a polka dot summer dress.
How it works through the year
Linen and cotton carry the hot months. The same trousers and shirts take a knit over the top once it cools, which is most of the reason this rayon exists rather than a summer only one. Nothing here needs a second piece to make sense.
Sizing and prices
Sizes are given in Australian sizing and prices are in Australian dollars. Relaxed cuts are forgiving between two notches. Measurements and care instructions are listed on each product page.
