How to spot the next it-piece for your wardrobe?
By colour: sober, pastel, or neon
The first thing to consider, the one that catches our eye, is colour. It's true that for formal and professional outfits, we stick to sober tones... But for your casual street wear, for a cocktail party, or for an evening out, don't hesitate to step away from classic shades. If you want to maximize the pep of your outfit or simply attract a little attention, adopt bright and flashy tones, from fuchsia pink to lime green. Otherwise, for a daily urban look, don't forget that pastels are a safe bet, especially with a nice pair of trainers.
By cut, for a vintage or modern style
What about the cuts? For jeans, we wear them high-waisted, of course, to slim the silhouette while enhancing curves. Unless you're more into a rock look, in which case wide-leg trousers are preferred. As for tops, the trend is oversized: XXL blazers and loose sweaters. It's fashionable and comfortable! The feminine touch comes with accessories: jewellery, belts, scarves or bandanas, and above all, the bag.
By materials and textures
For materials, it's not complicated: we favour natural materials, and especially quality ones. In summer, think of a light linen t-shirt to combat the heat, while in winter, it's rather wool sweaters that are in vogue. Cotton and cashmere are quite versatile, to be worn all year round depending on the temperature. In terms of texture, we advise you to choose a piece with a rich or refined appearance: a textured sweater, an embroidered top, or a jacket with large buttons. Play with layering, with the ultra-thin or the very thick for a truly unique look.
How to build or rebuild your wardrobe?
By choosing your basics
The must-haves, those that guarantee you'll have an outfit for every situation, are what you need to choose first. To help you, here's our list:
- The (little) black dress: ultra-versatile, it accompanies you to all parties, even if you're unsure about the dress code.
- The fitted blazer: a casual piece that doubles for the office with a formal outfit.
- White sneakers: they go with any bottom, skirt, trousers, jeans, etc.
- High-waisted or straight-cut jeans depending on your style.
To picture it, think of a simple outfit you could wear every day: what do you need to create it? For us, it would be straight-leg, slightly loose jeans with a nice pair of white trainers, say New Balance, a nice Mao-collar top, and a large taupe trench coat.
By shopping responsibly and ethically
The joys of shopping are undeniable, but a few well-worn items are better than a large wardrobe that will gather dust. Discover our eco-responsible selections and second-hand brands such as Sézane, Agnès B., or Isabel Marant.
