A Light Touch

We’re countering the cold by layering lightweight fabrics and contrasting menswear-inspired pieces with feminine elements.

SATIN UTILITY JACKET

A classic utility jacket gets a feminine makeover in satin. Layer it over a slip dress in a similar fabric or juxtapose it with a more structured outfit.

STATEMENT WHITE SHIRT

A white shirt is a closet staple – but this one, with a dramatic pleated ruffle neckline, is anything but stock standard. To make the oversized fit more flattering, push up the sleeves and do a French tuck (just at the front) à la Tan France.

COSY COAT

We’re throwing the rulebook out of the window with this white piece – who says a coat has to be black, grey or navy? And while you’re at it, why not go for head-to-toe white? Pair the coat with white jeans and a neutral bodysuit for a polished look.
