December in South Africa brings sunshine, slower days, and that unmistakable mood of winding down. Whether you're heading to the coast, planning a staycation, or enjoying time with family, your style should match the season: effortless, easy, and ready for long lunches, road trips, and golden hour catch ups. This is the moment to dress light, live soft, and feel good in your clothes.

What to Wear This Month
Focus on breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, and viscose which are perfect for hot inland days or breezy afternoons by the ocean. Maxi dresses, relaxed sets, and oversized shirts work for every kind of December plan, from Sunday braais to weekend markets. Choose colours inspired by our summer landscape: crisp white, clay, sage green, soft peach, or ocean blue. A loose jumpsuit or tiered sundress is an easy win. 

How to Keep It Effortless and Local
South African summers are all about balance, looking good without doing the most. Style simple looks with local flair: a woven basket bag, handmade jewellery, or leather sandals from your favourite small brand. Sunglasses are a must, along with a wide brim hat and your go to SPF. Keep beauty light and fresh.
