I Try On Lots of Clothes, But These 9 Premium Basics Really Impress Me

Post author:CW Blog
Post category:TB

January 25, 2022 at 06:15AM My wardrobe is generally a mixture of animal prints, brights (pink), white, denim and metallics. So it’s safe to say I’m definitely not a minimalist. That said, this January, I’ve really enjoyed adding fashion’s new elevated classics to my wardrobe. It may be the comedown from a sequin overload at Christmas or simply how easy it is to build several outfits once you add these staples into your repertoire.So what makes these not-quite-basic basics different from before? Well, not only have simple items such as a tracksuit or a simple wool coat been tweaked with a new-season update like a more tailored silhouette or shoulder pads, but it’s also in the styling. By layering tonal neutrals in different textures, you can instantly create a “look” with pieces you may already have in your wardrobe. Comfort doesn’t have to equal boring, either. There’s a whole host of puffers in…

January 25, 2022 at 06:03AM When people ask me what I did over the course of lockdown, I can proudly say that I’ve perfected the cinnamon bun (it’s all in the proving), learnt how to use a sewing machine, and I have also managed to create the ideal working from home wardrobe. Yes, that does consist of a lot of stretchy denim and chunky knitwear, but it might surprise you to know that some of my favourite WFH outfits are dresses.There is, of course, one big box that any home office frock must tick: it has to have a bit of give. While I don’t imagine any of us are reaching for the Hervé Leger, some fabrics and silhouettes can be a little restrictive and uncomfortable so when I go for a dress to wear all day at my desk, I need it to be comfortable. That being said,…

January 25, 2022 at 06:02AM They say nothing haunts you like the things you didn’t buy—or something like that, right? Regardless, it’s a feeling of regret I know all too well.A couple of years ago, I fell head over heels for a cover-up from & Other Stories—specifically, a woollen blazer. In a light-beige hue with an oversized silhouette and a weighty, woven finish, the blazer would make for the perfect accompaniment to my off-duty jeans-and-jumper outfits. It would also be ideal as a chic throw-on over printed dresses and pleated midi skirts.Maybe I was waiting for payday, or perhaps I’d recently bought something else. Whatever the reason, I decided to wait for a couple of weeks to treat myself to it. However, as you’ve likely already surmised, it sold out before I could get my hands on it. As such, I spent the rest of…

January 25, 2022 at 06:00AM At this time of year jeans and boots are basically all I wear, and so getting dressed can be a bit like putting on a uniform. It’s a practical and low-effort choice which is why it’s ideal for January, but these outfits can quickly become a little stale. So in search of some new styling ideas I spent some time looking at pictures of my favourite celebrities and came up with 5 easy-to-copy denim outfits I plan on adding to my rotation in 2022.One thing was clear when looking at my shortlist of images, baggier and looser denim styles are dominating right now, as not one outfit included a skinnier fit. These looks in fact all play with proportions, whether that’s by adding a boxy blazer, an oversized leather bomber, baggy shirt or a maxi coat. You can…

January 25, 2022 at 12:30AM After a few (very public) nights out on the town, Julia Fox and Kanye West officially made their fashion week debut in Paris on Sunday. The new couple has certainly turned heads in quite the complementary outfits just two days into PFW, and it’s clear Ye has found his new muse. Fox wore the controversial low-rise trend once again as the pair first stepped out in a Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake-inspired moment on Sunday, donning matching denim looks for the Kenzo show. Then later that night, the Uncut Gems actor was spotted in a fiery red one-shouldered dress and blinding over-the-knee boots, next to Ye’s all-black leather outfit. For the Schiaparelli spring couture show on Monday, West once again let Fox’s corset dress shine alongside his masked look. From conical bras and bustiers to low-rise jeans and…

January 24, 2022 at 11:08PM Dior wants you to rethink the possibilities of embroidery. For the fashion house’s Spring/Summer 2022 couture collection, Maria Grazia Chiuri, creative director of Dior’s women’s collections, paid tribute to the atelier. In the garden of the Musée Rodin in Paris, embroidery was not “merely a decorative detail” but an emblem of the craftsmanship of haute couture. A signature of the collection, embroidered tights can be seen under a grisaille-bedecked grey suit, evening dresses and draped leotards. Elsewhere, an embroidered fishnet vest over a long silk crepe skirt; a jacket set embroidered with a paving of sand-colored ‘Nacrolac’ patterns; an Erening dress in ecru silk tulle embroidered with ‘vermicelli’ diamond shapes of cream satin tubes and tassels of fine pearls — you get the picture. “Embroidery becomes a three-dimensional conceptual act that reinvents the atelier’s techniques and elemental excellence;…
