STYLE NOTES:

• OVER EASY: Master trans-seasonal dressing with a checked shirt jacket. Wear open over a polo neck, jeans, and trainers or buttoned and belted with ankle boots.
• PUT IT IN NEUTRAL: Pair a power print kimono with a head-to-toe neutral and allow it to shine.
• DO DETAIL: Print shy? Incorporate bolder checks with accessories for a low-commitment approach.
• SIZE MATTERS: Draw attention with larger prints, especially on areas of the body you want to celebrate.
