Styling the Season: Transition to autumn with Melbourn boutique ESSE

A capsule collection of versatile pieces will ensure the transition from summer to autumn goes smoothly. Starring bright block colours and standout statement prints, Rohiny Belani showcases the new-season collection at Melbourn boutique ESSE

When the forecast is fickle, layering is key. A simple and sophisticated look is elevated by a bold colour choice and chic accessories, such as a waist-cinching belt.

White boots, £220
Yellow sunglasses, £50
Orange earrings, £30

Delivering high-impact as a two-piece and versatility as separates, few things add value to the wardrobe as deftly as a printed co-ord. The Deco-inspired print and satin fabric make this an effortlessly elegant example.
