International model Ashleigh Good wears this season's take on modern vintage with her own elegant blend of classic and cool.

CAFE SOCIETY

Tonal shades of brown and beige accessories with delicate jewellery is a classic bourgeoise approach to discreet luxury.

Vintage dress (worn as coat), $140, from Tango, Kate Sylvester leather skirt, $695, and heels $595. Douglas & Bec x Sam Orme-Gee chair $1035.

WELL BRED

Classic Sloane staples provide an elegant alternative to the season's 70s rock look, with delicate pie-crust collars, jaunty A-line skirts and bookish blazers.

Vintage blouse, $45, from Deadman Vintage. Silence Was skirt $198. Deborah Sweeney jacket $599. Louis Vuitton belt $545. Levante hosiery $19. Kate Sylvester heels $595. Roy Mason leaf brooches, from $250, Warwick Freeman wooden bangle $1500, and Tatjana Panyoczki 18ct gold earrings, $1670, all from Fingers.

GRAND DESIGNS

A great coat is an investment piece that will last you a lifetime, so opt for one with a little drama.
