We all know the feeling of the post-winter refresh that our wardrobes so desperately need.
It might be time to part ways with the pieces you’ve worn and loved, or maybe, it’s just culling items you simply don’t reach for enough, to make way for new pieces that inspire you.
Your wardrobe should feel intentional, versatile, and completely reflective of personal style, and if yours isn’t, it might just be time to invite some new items in.
Luckily for you, the Australian fashion scene is bursting with incredible brands that are producing timeless, expertly crafted garments that are made to be worn and loved time and time again.
So for inspiration, we’ve rounded up some pieces the ELLE team will be wearing on heavy rotation this spring, and you can pick them all up at Elka Collective.

Every year, as the weather starts to warm, I am reminded how lacking my wardrobe is for transeasonal pieces that can work for the office, events, and dinner dates. This shirt ticks all of those boxes for me. The slinky recycled Japanese satin fabrication has a subtle shine that looks expensive, and the adjustable tie at the back allows me to cinch the waist for a more fitted look or let it out for a more relaxed silhouette, making it the perfect shirt for many occasions.

My trans-seasonal wardrobe isn’t complete without a good pair of shorts. Dressed up with a kitten-heeled thong or down with a flat-form slide, they are perfect for boardroom to bar — at least an ELLE boardroom, anyway! I like the Odin Short because it’s an ivory-wash denim and is more of a relaxed, wide-leg cut, making them casual, comfortable and classically cool.

I’d been searching for a ‘one-and-done’ piece for the warmer weather, and the Romeo Mini Dress fills that gap beautifully. Its simple, elegant cut, and adjustable tie mean I can style it depending on how I’m feeling. Lightweight and breathable, it’s perfect for summer and can be styled up or down for beach days, brunch, or evening drinks.

As a passionate lover of all things chocolate brown, the Pharoah Shorts from Elka Collective are right up my alley. The longline silhouette and soft tailoring make them the perfect piece for dressing up for sunset drinks with the girls, or over your favourite bikini for a day spent by the beach. For the perfect monochromatic look, I’d pair them with the Romie Tote and the Charlie Top.
