Styling Jardin: A Guide to Blanca's Resort Collection
Nostalgic, anticipatory, dripping in the lushness of the season.
Jardin furthers our exploration of wardrobes that fuse comfort and confidence with the zest of personal style – always with the intention that pieces can flow from day to night and work to play. There’s plenty of colour and sparkle, sheers and staples, ripe for individual framing. These are pieces that are multitudinous in purpose and talents (as are we all).
Here are a few of our favourite looks from the collection, ready for you to repurpose and restyle as feels right. We can’t wait to see your takes.
A Long Sleeve Shirt & Sheer Set Combo
Nothing screams ‘at peace’ more than this glam (yet very achievable) get-up. We see it as a way to express confidence and coolness even if the feelings aren’t quite there – the outfit will help pull you out of the rut and into the light. Lean into the boldness of a cyan hue, maxing out on the colour for an instant whiff of fresh air, pairing the Clarke Shirt in Blue with the sheer embroidered maxi Tina Skirt in Blue and the matching Tina Leotard in Blue. Go barefoot, add a chunky set of thongs or chic pumps, depending on the occasion.
Where to wear: The family festivities. It’s semi-safe (the oversized shirt covers enough for nanna) and will inspire conversation when the small talk with distant relatives is lacking. If the temp rises, tie it around the waist for a poolside-worthy take.
A Slouchy Tee & Shorts to Match
This is the dream look for laidback days, upping the comfort levels via a delicious cotton composition, a relaxed silhouette and an elasticated waistband. Pockets are just the cherry on top, really. Ooze that good and cosy feeling with the striped Ivy Tee in Black and coordinating Ivy Shorts in Black. Ready for all the activities that summer throws your way.
Where to wear: It’s mid-summer, and the AC is whirring. It’s almost too hot to relocate from the couch (‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ on in the background), but we will head out for a chic little wine and snack in this look if called upon. Simply pop on the effortlessly cool footwear to complete the look.
A Pair of Tailored Shorts & A Relaxed T-Shirt
She’s professional-with-personality, not letting the 9-5 steal the dreams of comfort and seasonal style. Tailored shorts with belt loops and pockets, crafted for maximum wearability, are a logical wardrobe addition for any free-the-leg radical. Wear the Natasha Shorts in Grey with a relaxed t-shirt (the Ella Tee in White is our top pick) to toe the line of office and life-wear, making the switch to after-work drinks that much easier.
Where to wear: Any work day that’s lacking in inspiration or flavour. Carry the Natasha Blazer in Grey (the season’s ideal oversized blazer) for any last-minute client rendezvous’, instantly upping the workplace credentials.
