STYLE EDIT | LOCARNO X PORTIER
Melbourne-based stylist Rebecca Modara has adored the beauty of style from a very young age, using it as a form of communication and a way to represent herself. Her honest passion comes from understanding her own struggles and learning to dress in a way that allows her to express herself while maintaining confidence and comfort. Although Rebecca has yet to experience the joys of motherhood, she has had the privilege of witnessing her nearest and dearest go through it and has seen the struggles of finding their style after giving birth.
Rebecca says dressing to maximise comfort and minimise focus on areas you may struggle with involves adhering to your silhouette. Given the responsibilities of motherhood, shopping constantly may not be feasible. The following looks are Rebecca's take on chic autumn fashion, designed to inspire and highlight the concept of layering and creating new outfits to maximise your current closet.
Where office meets home, dress effortlessly with the Camilla and Marc Haze shirt and pant set exuding confidence and professionalism. To create a polished yet functional ensemble suitable for various occasions, layer with the Henne Albi coat, finished with the delicate Billini Hassa black-black patent shoes. To tie it all together, the Houndstooth Limitless Baby Carrier adds a chic focal point, completed with Loewe Paseo knotted leather tote. Decorate with the Bottega Veneta Drop Aviator sunglasses, Tissot ladies watch, and the bold Nefertiti earring.
The Viktoria and Woods bright rationale blazer creates a refined yet functional addition to any outfit, suitable for various occasions. The 24/7 COS white t-shirt, pairs comfortably with the TOTEME Classic Cut mid-rise straight jeans, whether it's running errands, attending meetings, or enjoying outdoor activities with your little ones. Garnish this look from the top, incorporating timeless pieces such as the Henne bean earrings, Tag Heuer Carrera Date watch, Polene Cyme edition tote bag and the Oroton Stevie Sunglasses. Complete the look with the classic beauty of the Houndstooth Onyx Limitless Baby Carrier and the Ami Paris pointed ballerina shoes.
Combining practicality with style, the Oroton zipped midi skirt allows for optimal comfort, paired with the Charles and Keith knee high flat boot to provide ease of wear and mobility—perfect for a mom on the go! Layering for warmth and elevation, the Witchery Draped Trench coat matches effortlessly with the Natural Herringbone Limitless Baby Carrier. Embellish your look by accessorising with the Oroton Tulip earrings, a spacious and stylish Bottega Venetta Large Hop bag and the Luv Lou Harley sunglasses.
