Go big or go home! These outré outfits inspire …
Have fun with fashion by mixing minimal and maximal pieces. On paper, a tiered skirt and sailor hat combination sounds rather extra, but in reality this outfit is cleverly counter-balanced by a simple shirt and classic tweed blazer.
Style notes: Jen Azoulay’s curation of vintage pieces, such as this cropped jacket, blends seamlessly with current season and contemporary finds. Perfection.
While we may not be wearing a silky set and trending red tights yet, the memo is: don’t be afraid to clash. As a guide, stick to tonal colours when clashing patterns.
Maximalist doesn’t have to mean colourful or printed. Often the best outfits play with proportions and lean into exaggerated shapes, per this neutral look.
If in doubt: go for metallics – and lots of them!
An easy way to inject personality into your outfit? A vintage-look headscarf, especially if accessorised with a brightly coloured handbag. Even better if any of the above is by Hermès.
A pair of ladylike floral mules feels very Carrie Bradshaw-coded. Don’t forget to finish your look with statement sunglasses, too.
Seeking an alternative to the standard trench coat? Opt for a high-shine version in a noteworthy colour such as burgundy.
A statement, printed jacket paired with trainers is an ultra cool look for those who don’t even have to try. (Shop an edit of trending new season styles here.)
JJ Martin, the founder of decadent homewares brand La DoubleJ (read all about the brand’s collaboration with LA denim maestros MOTHER here) knows how to work playful print and searing colour. We love how she teams an outré item of clothing with low-key make-up and undone hair.
