Elka Collective’s spring drop is filled with mix-and-match minimalist pieces that will last well beyond this season. Taking cues from founder Courtney Price’s own aesthetic, the Melbourne brand has mastered the art of classics with a twist.

These are the pieces we’re adding-to-cart this season

Rowan knit vest

$229

Vests in various forms have been doing the rounds for the past few seasons. But this spring is all about the knitted style – think of it as the sleeveless cousin to your favourite cardigan. Wear with tailored pants, midi skirts and jorts.

Odin short

$169

If you thought the jort was just a one-season wonder, you were wrong. The ever-divisive style is back again this year. This pair in ivory denim feels closer to a tailored bermuda – up the polished vibe with a blazer and kitten heel sandals.

Marbella blazer

$449

Soft tailoring is going nowhere. This icy blue-grey blazer is finished with a self-tie belt detail but it looks equally chic when left to hang loose. You could partner it with a slip dress for wedding season.

Acacia dress

$289

We’ve never met a long black dress that we didn’t like. The jersey fabric and tank silhouette feel low-key enough for everyday wear. But the silver-tone jewellery-inspired details at the side seams add a luxe finish that will make you want to take this dress to dinner.

Ivy knit top

$169

A tank with a twist is a no-brainer. Layer this style with tailoring for office days or wear it with denim on the weekend. The Sea Mist and taupe colourways make welcome alternatives to black and white that we often lazily lean on.

Elowen skirt

$229

Prepare for this maxi to take over most other bottom options in your wardrobe. Its minimalist proportions make it easy to throw on and go – either with a tonal “nice top” or a baggy white T-shirt left untucked.
