JOIN THE DRESS CODE REVOLUTION

CONTEXT IS EVERYTHING.

Except this season, when it comes to your wardrobe, it’s deliberately taking things out of context that counts.

The spring catwalks saw designers draw outside the lines and embrace the art of contradiction dressing – a deliberate flip of the script that relinquishes the restrictions of dated dress codes. So, denim is reimagined for after dark, satin gets a tomboy spin, and sequins transition from party season staple to everyday essential. Park your preconceptions: leather can now be ultra-feminine and pastels spell serious business.

It’s a move that’s been gaining momentum IRL for a while now; just look at how box-fresh trainers have become office-appropriate, or the style set’s proclivity for wearing actual pyjamas to actual cocktail parties. The rules do not apply. Except for one, of course: sunglasses for after dark are still a definite no-no. You have been told.
