Daily dose: print on print

When there’s a breeze in the air but it’s still summer a fine knit sweater is great for inbetween dressing. Keep it plain and simple and team with a loose, light printed trouser.

If only we could buy an entirely new outfit for every wedding, summer party or work do. But as we don’t all have Mrs Beckham’s budget or contacts we need one multi-function dress which can take us wherever we need to go.
