Your shopping list:
The Trench:
It should be long,long, long and slouchy like this one. Toss it over everything from a pretty blouse at night for dinner to a stripe tee and jeans in the day.
The jeans
Straight. High waist. In a light wash. Also the dark wash slight flare from APC, A bit more sophisticated for when you’re out for dinner.
The slouchy cream sweater: It works with everything. It loves a trench. Loves jeans and chinos and adores leather pants. Go big or go home.
The Chinos: What’s to love? They’re not jeans. Or boring black pants. They will lighten your wardrobe. Go for a wider leg. Wear with heels or sneakers.
The stripe top: So french. So classic. Adds print without being floral. Yikes. Make sure it’s loose like this one from Kule. All those tight stripe tees? Aurevoir.
The blazer You want taupe. And navy. Need to be big and slouchy.
Single breasted is right when they’re oversized. Double breasted always looks great.
The shoes: It’s about keeping it low down. Au revoir to those too high stilettos. They never work on cobbblestones in the Marais anyway! Love white Veja sneakers or these Adidas. Drool over the Chanel black toe sling back heels. they look best with jeans or leather. Or invest in tan mules to take you right through to summer.
The handbag. It’s a either small cross body or a big shopping tote. Best in taupe, beige, camel or tan. See here on last week’s Report. Those colours really joosh up all your black but also work with your new neutral wardrobe.
Accessories: Love Rayban Aviators in brown , they link back to all your neutrals and nicer than black. Oh and everyone should have fabulous Hermes cuff , lots on Vestiare.
Get shopping and have a bon weekend !
