Add Print And Colour To Your Wardrobe With These Easy Looks

by Aaron Kok  /   September 7, 2017

Fall/Winter trends generally tend to err on the dimmer side of the colour spectrum, which makes sense when you live in a country that experiences the full four seasons. But for us tropical dwellers, the dark colours and muted prints can become boring.

Take a cue from Rachel Soma George’s wardrobe, and mix eclectic prints and gorgeously rich colour to lift your wardrobe out from drab blacks and navy colours.

Who’s That Girl:
Rachel Soma George, 34
Banker / @rachinfashion

With her love of bright colour, textures and quirky accessories, Rachel proves that getting dressed for her job in banking is anything but a snooze. Instead, her fashion credit rating ranks high as she gamely tackles everything from tricky prints to a smattering of brooches in her day to day wear. Even when she’s in a regular pair of jeans, she’s always boosted by her veritable collection of gorgeous heels that keep her going places.

Take after-eight dressing to new lengths with a patchwork fringed dress. To help ground it, layer it over a fitted knit top and keep your jewellery pared down.

2. Suit Yourself.

Earrings; jacket, $109; and pants, $94.95, all from H&M. T-shirt, $39.90, from Topshop. Cuff, $2,352, from Atelier Swarovski. Shoes, $215, from Bimba Y Lola. Headscarf and brooches, Soma’s own.

3. Full House.

A poufy brocade skirt can be worn in the daytime when toughened up with a western belt and a casual tee.

“A big skirt with a side slit pocket is my idea of a dream come true. This skirt reminds me of a quote from my favourite style icon Audrey Hepburn, and it goes “Life is a party. Dress like it”.” — Rachel Soma George.

Earrings, $115, from Bimba Y Lola. T-shirt, $34.95; and belt, $19.95, from H&M. Emilia Wickstead skirt, $600, from THE OUTNET. Bracelets, from $29.90, from Topshop. Headscarf and shoes, Soma’s own.

4. The Short Story.

A cropped jacket is the style cheat that every woman needs for longer-looking legs. Choose one in a bright pattern that will work both in and out of the office.

Earrings, $649, from Swarovski. Solace London jacket, $170, from THE OUTNET. T-shirt, $23.90, from Mango. Jeans, $49.90, from Uniqlo. Cuff, $2,352, from Atelier Swarovski. Shoes, Soma’s own.

5. Prim And Pretty.
image

Powdery pink and sprigs of painterly florals breathe new life into the Victorian look, especially when finished with a studded belt.

“A Victorian-inspired dress in a romantic shade of pink reminds me of the spirited character Anne Shirley in the novel Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery.” — Rachel Soma George.

Earrings, $899, from Atelier Swarovski. Dress, from Red Valentino. Rings, from $33.90, from Topshop. Shoes, $700, from Tory Burch.
