Some skirts are born for the boardroom, others for the bar, and this one politely refuses to choose. It’s a beautifully tailored London Affair piece in a saturated teal that reads like peacock feather meets harbour water, with that deliciously textured silk-blend weave that looks expensive from five metres away.

Made in New Zealand and finished with fabric-covered details, it has that classic vintage knack for structure without stiffness. The waistband sits neatly, the line is clean and confident, and the little button detailing adds personality without getting precious about it.

Styling-wise, you can go crisp and modern with an oyster or butter-yellow blouse, or lean into colour with paprika, magenta, or aubergine up top. For work, try a cinnamon blazer and vintage gold earrings. For an event, a silky camisole in coral with a metallic heel turns this into a proper entrance.
