With every new season comes the opportunity to reassess our wardrobe and look for those elusive “wardrobe gaps”. It also offers up the chance for a fresh start.
Our latest colour collection, Beach Fossils features a fresh and clean colour palette in neutral shades of brown, blue and grey. Inspired by the treasure collected at the beach, these soothing shades are perfect for the seasonal transition.
If building on your wardrobe basics is on your to-do list this season then this collection is ideal. It may also help you fill in those wardrobe gaps, which most of the time tend to be the basic items we over look in favour of pretty dresses in colourful prints.
Our inspiration for this collection features a range of key garments you will reach for over and over again, which will slot easily into your wardrobe.
Tops
Hazy Thick Stripes Navy Cotton Jersey
Tilly and the Buttons Coco Top and Dress
The classic “Breton Top” has been around since the reign of Coco Chanel who first brought this style into the spotlight. Paired with jeans and a classic beige trench coat you will look stylish and feel comfortable.
Another top that will work hard in your wardrobe is the perfect Black Sweater. This can be styled with a range of garments, from a full suit for a casual look or a printed floral skirt and boots. Made in our Splendour Modal French Terry (which comes in a range of colours) you will never want to take it off!

Tilly and the Buttons Billie Sweater and Dress
Another classic style is the oversized stripe shirt. In grey, beige or blue this will tie in with many pieces in your wardrobe and is the ideal lightweight layering piece now that the temperatures are up and down.
Fine Stripe Light Grey Cotton Linen Blend
Paper Theory Olya Shirt and Shirt Dress
Trousers and Skirts
Serene Sandwashed Viscose in Black
Cousette Jupette Skirt Pattern
A black skirt in our new Serene Sandwashed Viscose is a style that will see you through all seasons and can be dressed up or down. Alternatively this stlye will look great in a monochrome print which you can mix with other colours.
Beige Floral Field on Black Viscose
Beige or grey trousers are another wardrobe staple that can be easily styled with items already in your wardrobe. Opt for a full suit in our Breeze Enzyme Washed Linen or choose a softer look with a linen viscose blend.

The Avid Seamstress The Culottes
Another classic style to create from this colour collection is the Blue jean. The latest trousers from Named Clothing, The Aina Culottes and Trousers have an adjustable waistband while still looking stylish.

Dresses
Atelier Brunette Seed Night Kelsey Crepe Fabric
Cousette Bridgette Dress and Blouse Pattern
A classic black polka dot midi dress will stand the test of time, and we love this subtle graphic twist in the Atelier Brunette Seed Crepe.
For a dress that will work all year round, a beige cami dress can easily be layered to suit the season. For autumn, try layering it over a Nikko top in one of our Allure Soft Jerseys (which can be bought as a kit here).
The Shaket
Highland Cream and Blue Yarn Dyed Cotton Flannel
To tie the colours together from this colour collection a checked flannel shacket is perfect, and another lightweight layer that will work for the changing autumn temperatures. You can lengthen the Heather Blazer to achieve this style or for a collarless style try the new Cousette Buchette Shirt.
