Polka, Perfected

BRAND: Self-Portrait
Playful yet poised, polka dots remain a timeless summer favourite. Reimagined in deep navy and breathable linen, this silhouette feels easy to wear, and contemporary.
Pair with sleek leather sandals and a woven tote for sun-filled city days, then elevate with a heel and gold jewellery for alfresco lunches and evenings spent outdoors. Add a lightweight layer and a refined clutch to complete the ensemble.
Florals, Refined
When it comes to florals, the most captivating styles are those that offer a fresh perspective through placement, scale and texture. This mesh floral dress brings a contemporary sense of style through a softly sheer finish and fluidity designed to move with you.
Perfect for evenings, celebrations and occasions, style it with pared-back accessories: a sleek sandal, a tonal clutch and delicate jewellery. As the evening unfolds, layer with a jacket.
