Initial reaction:
Easy like a Sunday morning.
References:
The tried-and-tested Margaret Howell formula of work wear separates, clean lines and soft colour.
Unexpected details:
The drooped collars, neat bustier tops and loose sweaters revealing collarbones and décolletage.
Stand out look:
A checked t-shirt dress broke the palette of modest chambray and off-white.
How they wore it:
With a straw fedora and nonchalance.
Shoes:
Sensible brown sandals: simplicity is key for the Margaret Howell woman.
Summer staple:
The Breton-striped dress and cream fedora combo.
Key change:
Feminine ease took a masculine turn with cargo trousers and boxy checked shirts buttoned to the neck.
Hair:
Loosely plaited and looped into a low chignon.
Progression:
Bodice detailing and waisted skirts resulted in a more defined structure, and obvious femininity, compared to previous seasons.
