Summer in Durban asks for clothes that keep up with the heat. Reach for cotton, linen and loose cuts that let air through. A Striped Off-Shoulder Blouse with white trousers is easy and cool. Add flat sandals and a light bag, and you are ready for lunch on the beachfront.

Stripes work best when you keep the rest simple. Pick one striped piece and let it lead. Plain bottoms, neutral shoes and a few thin accessories finish the look without fuss.

Style notes

Building a capsule wardrobe is about choosing less and wearing it more. Start with ten pieces that match each other: two shirts, a blazer, a knit, a dress, tailored trousers, a skirt, a tank top, a jacket and one pair of good shoes.

Stick to a small colour range such as white, navy, olive and grey. Each piece should work with at least three others. You will dress faster and spend less over the year.

Style notes

Humidity changes how clothes feel by midday. Choose cotton, linen and viscose blends that dry fast and do not cling. Loose shapes let air move around you, and light colours reflect the heat. Skip heavy polyester on the North Coast in summer. Pack a thin cardigan for air conditioned offices and restaurants.

A beach wedding on the North Coast calls for light fabrics and shoes that cope with sand. A floral midi dress or a soft wrap top with wide trousers works well. Carry a shawl for the evening breeze. Keep jewellery simple, choose block heels or flat sandals, and stay away from white so the bride shines.
