Much more than just a humble everyday go-to, we asked Lisa Hamilton, of Melbourne style blog See Want Shop (@seewantshop), to share her tips for styling one of this season’s must have pieces – The M Hip.

For me, this look is the ultimate, easy-to-wear casual weekend outfit, perfect for a shopping trip or late brunch with girlfriends. The M Hip works perfectly here as a cross-body satchel that will hold all your daytime essentials without weighing you down. With touches of perforated leather and the functionality of three pouches, you’ve got yourself a sleek go-to it-bag. As for the finishing touches, simply pop on a richly toned oversized fedora, a dark pair of shades and slip into a comfortable pair of  sporty loafers to ramp up your accessory credentials. Don your favourite pair of worn-in distressed skinny jeans & keep warm in an oversized coat to complete the winter-friendly look.

Mid-week drinks with friends call for a simple outfit that has just enough flair to keep things interesting before the weekend begins. Wear the M Hip casually over one shoulder for a more refined after-dark look that keeps your hands free for a cocktail (or two). Add a racy edge with a pair of sleek skinny leather pants & sky high stilettos for that extra touch of glam you need on a night out. Keep the look relaxed on top with buttoned down, over-sized shirt and loose, effortlessly tousled, hair.

Keep things simple, but fresh for a relaxed dinner date with a nod to 70’s-inspired styling. Dress up your look by carrying the M Hip as a clutch, that way your lipstick is never too far out of reach! Instead of adding another layer to your outfit, wear a chunky knitted scarf like the Nouveau Scarf to keep warm and tuck those fly-away strands of hair underneath. Embrace this season’s biggest trend with dark pair of flares and wear them with a classic and comfortable pump.
