With a new season almost here, now is the time to edit your wardrobe and think about what you can repurpose, re-home, and invest in to maximise styling options for a chic, effortless, versatile closet.
Today we are shopping more consciously than ever, and classic pieces worth their cost-per-wear has never been more relevant.
Dressing up sometimes feels easier than dressing down. Striking the perfect balance between off-duty comfort and polish requires key items: The Shirt, The Jeans, The Jacket and The Trench. Styling these essentials makes casual dressing a breeze while still creating an impact.
THE SHIRT
Model wears Isabel Marant Etoile Maria Top, Isabel Marant Malyake Jacket, Isabel Marant Tyron Cap and Marni Trunk Bag.
After the last couple of years of loving waist-up fashion, the shirt is still our daily go-to. Harness its shapeshifting qualities by adding different accessories to take you from day to night. You can never go wrong with the classic pairing of a cotton shirt and jeans. Wear tucked into high-waisted denim or play with proportions by French tucking it into tailored pants, or wear loose and louche over casual denim. Leave a few buttons undone, including your cuffs, for the most casual of looks and team with jeans and sneakers. Top with a sweater and jacket and take it out to brunch. What a winner!
THE COAT
Model wears La DoubleJ Boxy Coat, Nili Lotan Felicity Shirt and Boot Cut Jeans and Anya Hindmarch Neeson Chain Cross Body Stripes.
A beautiful coat elevates an outfit as über casual as a shirt and jeans and is an essential no matter what your style. There's something so easy about the voluminous coat; even better, is one that is reversible. La Double J’s Boxy Coat features two vibrant options with fit and fabrication first and foremost.
THE JEANS
Model wears Nili Lotan Boot Cut Jean, Arlene Long Sleeve Shirt and Kaya Shirt and Anya Hindmarch Neeson Tassel Cross Body.
It can feel like a never ending search, but when you finally meet your perfect pair of jeans, you just know. From blue and white, straight leg and skinny to 70s-inspired flares, the right denim, cut and wash that complements your shape and style is an instant mood-booster. Looking to add another inch or two to your legs? High-rise jeans will do just that. Magic!
THE TRENCH
Model wears Nili Lotan Tanner Trench Coat, Lydia Shirt and Sterling Top with Isabel Marant Fiali Skirt and Cat-Eye Sunglasses.
A great trench looks crisp and polished and oozes effortless style. A true wardrobe workhorse, it dresses up the simplest of looks and goes the extra mile as a travel piece that is elegant and versatile. Style tip! Sticking to a simple palette is a styling trick for creating a polished, cohesive look. Look for combinations like navy, cream and black and top it off with a lightweight khaki trench.
