Dressing for in-between seasons is easy—layer on some timeless basics, add a few key statement pieces, and you’re good to go. But figuring out what to put on your feet? Not so simple. When sandals are too summery, heels are too fancy, and sneakers just won’t do, what’s a girl to wear? Look to cool boots to solve your footwear dilemma. From tall equestrian styles to wear-with-everything ankle booties, you’ll want a good pair—or two! Here, Mode’s collection of boots from labels I Love Billy, Silent D, Mollini and Emu. Shop here.
As the season officially turned, women step confidently into fall. From graphic pattern to exploded floral prints to the power found in opting for one single, straight-forward hue the message is loud and clear: Go boldly and get noticed with the array of new season dresses from Bluejuice.
Take cues from Wall Street – the androgynous allure of the shirt is fueling its revival. Adhere to crisp cotton and off-the-cuff cuts for business wear attire.
Both arty accents and graphic prints are big for men this season, and when done correctly can look really good. Typically New Zealand guys lean towards the monochromatic, but adding just one printed piece can add an interesting new dimension.
Ketz-ke’s collection ‘Bloomin Lovely’ takes on the classic dress shirt, daytime wear, and glam sportswear making this season’s most noteworthy trends. Expressionism, perfectly pretty florals, bold prints and bright colour palettes brighten up winter with Kete-ke’s ready to wear winter collection.
The conventional Bomber Jacket, in all it’s varied forms, has been experiencing a fashionable renaissance. What began as an American varsity staple has reclaimed from the runway to chain-stores in recent years. From Statement leather-panelled sleeves to inky silk finishes, the right bomber can be layered to suit all seasons and will likely never cease its reign as a front running wardrobe staple.
With the right standout coat, you can get away with wearing what truly makes you comfortable underneath. Feel free to get away with jeans and a T-shirt (or even your pajamas) all winter long.
No matter where you winter—the best armor for the season is not an all-weather jacket, but the fully functional and supremely stylish boots and flats.

From the eternally classic equestrian to flirty lace-ups, here are our picks from labels Silent D and Mollini. Shop here.
Jeans and Jackets are the No. 2 pencils of a winter wardrobe: not as flashy as other elements on the back-to-work/back-to-school shopping list but no less essential. Here, we highlight a collection of Mode’s casual classics to update your winter wardrobe.
Right now, the chicest way to wear a coat is to not. During this month of frigid fashion weeks, photo after photo showed that women are skipping sleeves in favour of a slung-jacket look: not actively putting on the coat, just letting it be there, draped on their shoulders and guarding against the cold.
No matter where you winter—the best armour for the season is not an all-weather jacket, but the fully functional and supremely stylish boot. This winter, as the weather turns and wardrobes become more streamlined, we suggest focusing less on making a statement and more on making an investment. Which is why, instead of looking at ephemeral trends, a timeless essential that you will buy now and wear forever is key to updating your winter staples. From the eternally classic equestrian to utilitarian yet unique rain shoe, Emu provide the ultimate boots to add to your fall wardrobe now. Shop here.
