The power pair: Precision-cut separates + silks

How can you elevate a hi/low look to the next level? We love this mix-and-mismatch trick used by the likes of super-cool stylists Julie Pelipas and Alexandra Carl: hard-edged tailored pieces worn with soft, sensual silks. To style it like a fashion editor, find the perfect balance – Pelipas’ minimal suit could run the risk of looking a little too Working Girl, but her flowing neck scarf adds flair, while Carl uses a Prince of Wales check to toughen up a pleated skirt that could veer into ‘lady’ territory if teamed with its natural fine-knit bedfellow.
