Style Notes 

Tune into tunics 

Ankle-skimming tunics make lovely layering pieces over jeans and a crop top or worn buttoned loose as a dress with your favourite flats.

Nice accent 

Scared of head-to-toe hues? A little goes a long way. Consider collars, sunglasses, and Zoom-worthy scarves as low-fi options.

Comfort is king 

 Co-opt the lockdown comfort mantra with colourful iterations of sneakers, swishy dresses, and roomy silhouettes.

Mellow yellow

The happiest of colours, yellow is said to calm butterflies and stress-related tension, while encouraging personal power and positivity.
