Silver-haired beauty Rewa shows us how to wear today's updates on timeless looks with a dressed up edge. Think luxurious fabrics like silk and fine wool, plenty of special jewellery and a contemporary state of mind.
SIMPLY CLASSIC
A slinky top and vintage-inspired blue jeans are an effortless pairing with no expiry date, and are perfectly paired with a slouchy trench coat. Light-catching jewellery will make the look extra special, especially some shoulder-grazing statement earrings.
Shjark camisole $199. Agolde denim jeans, $329, from Fabric. Jasmin Sparrow earrings $899. Jasmin Sparrow bracelet $449. Ann Demeulemeester coat, $1116, from Scotties. Wallace Rose belt $135.
TACTILE EXPRESSION
Make fabric the focus of a classic combination of blouse and trousers. Deep-black velvet is a plush base for metallic silver. A hint of lace and flat mules make this a sophisticated ensemble that's relaxing to wear.
Knuefermann top $349. Knuefermann bralette $25. Wallace Rose trousers $398. Witchery shoes $160. Gucci GG Running earrings, $3450, from Orsini.
STATEMENT MAKER
Yves Saint Laurent once said, "Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who's wearing it." Rewa embodies this sentiment; it helps when the dress fits as well as this sparkling lurex version by Rotate.
Rotate Birger Christensen dress, $429, from Workshop. Witchery heels $200. Marco Bicego Africa Lariat necklace, $5840, and Pomellato Nudo earrings, $7350, from Orsini.

DOWNTOWN GLAMOUR
Who says costume earrings and denim can't go together? This jewel-toned pantsuit from Ruby is a just-as-fancy alternative to a dress. Paired with classic blue denim, it's the epitome of easy yet opulent cool.
Ruby jumpsuit $349. Jasmin Sparrow earrings $949. Levi's jacket, $169, from Fabric.
LA BOHEME
A versatile, artistic shirt dress has enduring appeal. This tiered version from Jane Daniels is a graceful staple to take you from day to night.
Jane Daniels dress $655. Sofra cuff, $31,800, and Crivelli earrings, $21,395, from Partridge Jewellers. Witchery heels $200.
MODERN MUSE
The one-shouldered top may be a noughties throwback but today's version is nothing but timeless. Nut brown is a beautifully rich alternative to wearing black, thanks to its skin-tone-flattering qualities. Tailored trousers are given a cool, wide-legged update. Don't forget a good belt and some weighty gold jewellery.
Witchery top $80. Shjark trousers $369. Gucci Horsebit bracelet, $10,555, Horsebit necklace, $3510 and Pomellato Nudo earrings, $7350, from Orsini. ATP shoes, $619, from Gregory. Wallace Rose belt $135.

A liquid chocolate silk skirt meets its match with an equally luxurious shirt and blazer combination. Harman Grubisa's cinnamon-coloured Jade Jacket is a very special release, crafted from Dormeuil Jade, a fabric made with a combination of wool and ultra-fine South Island greenstone particles. The textile is incredibly soft and sturdy thanks to the pounamu, and is superior in its drape and feel.
Haider Ackermann silk shirt, $995, from Scotties. Wynn Hamlyn skirt $390. Harman Grubisa Dormeuil blazer POA. Mi Piaci loafers $260. Jasmin Sparrow rings, gold $269 and silver $239.
