HOW TO CLASH PRINTS LIKE A PRO

We know, we know, the weather has been a fair bit unpredictable in the last week. But that doesn’t mean we can’t give florals an outing on the reg, especially when it's Melbourne Cup week and when they’re as legit as these 2017-appropes moody blooms. The key to nailing the look? Go for varying size prints but keep to a similar colour palette.

First things first, update Margaret’s summer-friendly gingham trousers and swap them out for this season’s well-loved heritage print, dogtooth. Gear up in high-waisted skinny jeans and tuck in a dark floral shirt in a men’s fit for a more relaxed style. Next, opt for ankle boots with oh-so-pretty embroidery (bonus points for the chunky textured wooden heel). Add a sturdy leather shoulder bag and gold hardware shades for optimum weekend strolling.
