Keep things slick with monochrome pieces that instantly give you that pulled-together look.
Buckle in
Hurrah for sensible shoes, especially when they’re allowed, finally, to be a little fun. The shiny, buckled Jaclyn loafer from Bally would work just as well with wide-legged trousers as they would a mid-length skirt. $925. Tel: 1800 781 851
Working 9 to 5
The value of a workhorse bag into which you can throw essentials (a book for the ferry, say) and non-essentials alike cannot be understated. The glace calf leather Etiquette bag from Prada fits the bill. $2920. Tel: (02) 9223 1688
True romance
Opening Melbourne Opera’s second season for the year is Richard Wagner’s epic romance Lohengrin – the first time the opera has been performed in Melbourne in 15 years. Marius Vlad, who starred in the company’s critically acclaimed season of Tannhäuser last year, has the titular role. He will be joined by Australian opera star Helena Dix, the 80 strong Melbourne Opera Chorus and the 82 piece Melbourne Opera Orchestra. August 7, 10 and 12 at the Regent Theatre, Melbourne. $49 to $86.
Tel: 1300 111 011. August 19 at Robert Blackwood Hall, Monash University. $15 to $49. Tel: (03) 9905 1111.
Fast track…

Monochrome magic
It’s almost impossible to
look anything
other than polished, with
a twist, when wearing Céline.
This monochrome outfit proves it. Two-tone dress
in viscose jersey, $3200; trousers
in viscose jersey, $2800; Balmoral boots, $1400; brass earrings, $750.
Tel: (03) 9530 4300
Town and country
A pair of boots that work as well for a wedding in a barn as they do for sipping a negroni in
a bar are a darn fine
thing. These from
Fendi are as sleek
as they are versatile.
$1290. Fendi
Sensual twist
New from French perfume house By Kilian is Black Phantom, a unisex scent that crafts entirely delicious things – coffee, rum – with notes of patchouli, sugarcane and sandalwood to create something sophisticated. 50ml, $531. Agence de parfum
