Silhouettes- balancing structured vs relaxed fits

• Mix tailored and relaxed pieces- A sharp blazer over a slouchy T-shirt and wide-leg trousers instantly refines a casual outfit.

• Tapered meets oversized- Pairing structured, high-waisted trousers with a relaxed cashmere sweater creates a polished yet cozy balance.

• Play with proportions- A fitted turtleneck with loose joggers and sleek ankle boots keeps the look modern and intentional.

• Denim done right- A crisp, structured satin blouse tucked into faded straight-leg jeans achieves a relaxed sophistication.

Textures and fabrics – mixing luxe materials with everyday textures

• Silk or satin with denim- A silk cami under an oversized denim jacket offers a chic contrast of softness and ruggedness.

• Leather with cotton- A buttery leather trench over a simple cotton T-shirt and relaxed trousers instantly upgrades the outfit.

• Chunky knits with sleek fabrics- A structured wool coat layered over a flowy slip dress creates a balanced mix of textures.

• Matte and glossy contrasts- A velvet blazer over a crisp cotton button-down introduces depth and richness.

Accessories- elevating or toning down a look

• Statement belts- Cinch an oversized blazer with a structured belt to add definition and sophistication.

• Luxury bags with casual outfits- A structured leather tote or a quilted crossbody can elevate even a basic jeans-and-T-shirt look.

• Minimal gold jewellery- Layered gold necklaces or sleek hoops add effortless polish to relaxed ensembles.

• Footwear matters- Swap sneakers for sleek loafers or pointed-toe flats to refine a casual outfit. Conversely, pairing luxe pieces with clean white sneakers tones down an otherwise formal look.

• Scarves and sunglasses- A silk scarf tied around the neck or a pair of oversized sunglasses can instantly add a luxe feel.
