Water World

Relaxed

Soft, effortless, and easy to wear.

Relaxed style favours comfort, natural fabrics, and unfussy silhouettes. Soft fabrics, loose shapes, and a colour palette drawn from nature create a look that feels lived-in and genuinely comfortable. The best Relaxed wardrobes look unstudied but are carefully curated for ease and coherence.

Relaxed style

Defining characteristics

  • Loose, comfortable silhouettes with room to move
  • Soft, natural fabrics: linen, cotton, jersey, knit
  • Earthy, natural colour palettes
  • An undone, layered quality
  • Simple pieces that work together easily
  • Comfort as a starting point, not an afterthought

Wardrobe staples

  • Wide-leg linen or cotton trousers
  • Oversized knits and soft sweaters
  • A loose-fit button-down or chambray shirt
  • Simple slip dresses or casual midi dresses
  • Flat sandals or minimal leather shoes
  • A relaxed canvas or leather tote
  • Soft layering pieces: cardigans, light jackets
  • Simple, unfussy accessories

Colour

Relaxed style is drawn to earthy, muted tones: warm whites, oatmeal, sand, sage, terracotta and soft olive. The palette feels natural and easy, with tones that harmonise without effort.

Fit and silhouette

Pieces should feel generous and unrestricted. Nothing should pull or bind. The silhouette is deliberately soft and easy, with volume and drape preferred over structure.

What to avoid

  • Very structured or restrictive pieces
  • Stiff fabrics that don't move naturally
  • Overly polished or formal combinations
  • Heavy embellishment

When it works best

  • Weekend and everyday casual dressing
  • Holidays and warm-weather dressing
  • Informal gatherings
  • Work-from-home or creative environments
