Spring has sprung and we are firmly on the road towards Summer! The High Tea with Elephants team delved into Superbalist’s Spring/Summer range and pulled out some hot, safari-inspired gems. Check out some of our favourites:
The Basic Look
1. Banana Leaf Print Cape Blazer
This may be a little more Jungle Book than Out of Africa, but it’s trendy in an adventurer-explorer-kind-of-way, and we love it. Wear it with the matching shorts, or your own pair of comfy safari trousers.
Brand: Lavish-Alice
Price: R999
We know sexy safari when we see it. Ultra trendy with practicality levels at an all-time low, you probably won’t be taking this out into the bush with you, but it’ll make every day in the city feel like an escape.
Brand: The Lot
Price: R649
Classic, carefree and cool for the African heat of the day; just enough cover for the chillier evenings too.
Brand: Vila
Price: R399
This zappy khaki delight is loose-fitting and comfortable, with a flattering deep-V neckline and cut-off sleeves to soak up that Southern Hemisphere sunshine.
Brand: Noisy May
Price: R349
Spice it up
With a solid wool structure to keep it from losing its shape, this chic, camel headpiece is a good open-vehicle bush drive companion – it’ll blend in fabulously, and keep you looking fabulous!
Brand: The Lot
Price: R370
They’re super trendy.
And retro.
Just wild, really.
Important bonus: They’re 100% UVA and UVB protected.
Brand: Spitfire
Price: R299
Bold and chunky yet simple, this bracelet is made up of 5 chains linked by a bar on both ends. It jingle jangles a little when you move, creating the snake-like effect of its namesake.
Brand: Miss Maxi
Price: R129
A must-have add-on that can be worn with anything from functional, hardwearing safari trousers to elegantly flowing maxi skirts. Also a gorgeous addition to one of our jumpsuits featured above.
Brand: New Look
Price: R349
Slip-ons are the ideal Summer comfort – not too hot and not too cold, you can toss them into your satchel knowing they’ll be put to good use. Throw in some larger-than-life leopard print and what’s not to love?
Brand: Therapy
Price: R299
Add a touch of elegance to any neutral outfit – these earrings are adorned with plaited black fabric, gold thread and burnt orange agates to make a delightful statement.
Brand: Pichulik
Price: R399
The good ol’ leather shoulder bag that every woman should own. This one’s buttery soft and filled with pockets – to hold all your safari essentials and the kitchen sink!
Brand: FSP Collection
Price: R1499
