On the Streets
Trends that let you express yourself loud and clear
BREAK THE MOULD
Relive the childhood joy of riffling through mummy’s wardrobe to play dress up. Clash your prints and mix your style genres. Keep skirts short, baring lots of leg, and wear heavy platforms to seal the look.
DARE TO BARE
Show some skin in itsy-bitsy tops that let you keep your cool in sweltering heat. Labels such as AMI Paris and Coperni offer designs that subtly cover up your bits while drawing attention to the décolletage. An oversize coat or jacket adds that sense of insouciance.
MAKE A STATEMENT
For days when subtle just doesn’t cut it, reach for a head-turning coat that offers big impact with minimal effort. Let your personality (or mood) shine through with a trench coat in a traffic-stopping hue or a maximalist number with numerous prints. Boots are always a good idea.
ADD A FLOUNCE OR THREE
You’d be hard pressed to find something that offers as much of a visual impact as ruffles. Feminine frills add instant drama that can be dressed down with structured staples, edged up with sleek leather pieces or paired with volume for maximum effect. For a more understated take, slip into a pair of candyfloss slides that will have you smiling all day.
POWER IN PROTECTION
Masks have become an everyday necessity, so why not make them count in the style department? With so many options to choose from—like Dolce&Gabbana’s sugar-and-spice design and PINKO’s wild at heart one—you have no excuse to play it safe.
PEARLS OF WISDOM
A tried-and-true accessory, you can always trust pearls to elevate an ensemble with class and panache. A classic string of pearls teams beautifully with jeans and a tee. But for a more contemporary vibe, go for the unexpected—be it an oversize choker, a hair accessory that rains pearls, or a bag with Elizabethan aspirations.
