Dresses are a great investment piece. These one-piece wonders look striking all on their own (especially in an new season shade or print), and because they require little more than a nice pair of shoes, bag and jewellery to style them up.

They are the perfect “throw-on and look fabulous in an instant” option.

Style tip: The warm undertones of peach pair perfectly with gold, rose gold or soft pastel accessories.

Play around with peach outer layers to modernise a white tee and blue denim combination.

This soft shade paired with the classic combo creates a laid-back cool, casual finish with a soft, feminine touch.

Style tip: Incorporate low-key accessories such as white sneakers and a cross-body bag in a peach shade to keep the vibe casual.

Combing peach and camel pieces is a surprising yet effective pairing.

Layer a camel blazer over a peach top or dress for a polished and put-together ensemble.

Style tip: Rather than go for a matchy matchy finish with accessories add in contrasting shades for an edgy finish like Olivia.

Peach and white create a delicate balance.

If you’re wearing a peach-colored piece as the focal point, such as a blouse or skirt, pair it with white to keep the overall look light and bright.

Style tip: Not all peaches are the same. Some may lean more towards orange, while others may have pink undertones. Experiment with different shades to find one that complements your skin tone.
