Luxuriousl­y louche

Swathe yourself in oversized opulence and decadent draping.

-

It might seem counterint­uitive, but loose clothing can flatter the figure.

I love getting lost in baggy shirt dresses, wide culottes or giant coats. If I think a garment looks really interestin­g, I don’t care if it resembles a paper bag.

You can always deploy a few tweaks to elongate and define yout figure, like belting the waist, wearing a low or V neckline, or a linear accessory like a scarf or necklace.

In oversized clothes, you might feel a bit like you’re wearing pyjamas and a robe in public – but, really, that’s also the beauty of it.

The fabrics used in these garments determine whether they’re for day or evening, as opposed to something you’d want to sleep in.

In any case, all these clothes would make for luxurious lounging wear.
