As we’ve been plunged into lockdown the nation has learned to love its loungewear. How often do we crave being at home and having down time? Although many people are working from home and have the worry of their job and mental health at least comfort is king right now. Talking of the loungewear king, Zara comes to mind.

Zara is leading the high-street with their must-have casual pieces; their sleeveless bodysuits, crop tops and of course their thin knit jumpers are essential buys. Basics are crucial to build your wardrobe and with Zara’s pricing you can buy multiple essentials for a good price. The dusty pink of the thin knit, long sleeve sweater is such a darling shade, ideal for Spring and early Summer. I own this thin knit in both black and ecru also, the gold button detailing on the sleeves is a pretty addition to the plain top. Thin jumpers are flawless and simple to style with shorts or jeans when the weather is still a bit nippy. Here I styled the dusty pink with Zara white jean culottes, River Island white military style blazer with gold buttons and Primark off-white sandals. This look is ideal for a Spring brunch, in my own kitchen of course!

If this isn’t the cutest dress you’ve ever seen! ASOS is killing the game with their striped designs. I already purchased a blue/white stiped shirt dress and then they released this darling style. The tiered, frilled mini-dress design is a stunning variation of a summer dress. The plunge neckline and back adds flair to the cutesy style. Layer a lacy bandeau or a crop top underneath for a more covered look. The loose fit is idyllic for warmer weather, while in colder weather I recommend layering a white shirt underneath. I paired the dress with white wedges, a natural trilby and leather braided bracelet that I bought in Florence. The mix of natural accessories with the dress adds a vacation feel.
