The look: a wear-anywhere blazer
Few items are as worthy of the ‘wardrobe staple’ moniker as a blazer. And if that blazer is camel in hue, then consider it a lifelong must-have, for nothing is as versatile as a sharp-shouldered jacket in this desert shade. Less formal than navy or black, this more neutral hue softens the silhouette, turning it into a garment that can be both bohemian and polished, depending on your mood.
New York-based brand Frankie Shop knows the power of an earthy blazer – its belted, wrap-over style can be worn just as easily for weekday meetings as relaxed weekends. Amp up the 1970s feel by pairing it with Altuzarra’s floral midi dress and Jimmy Choo’s butter-soft knee-high boots for a timeless take on smart-casual. For finishing touches, Saint Laurent’s poppy-red satchel, a slick of tonal lipstick and gold-tone jewelry will add a dose of glamour.
Want to up the ante? Leather pants and a crisp white tee will add an urban edge to this soft, slouchy silhouette. LA denim label Grlfrnd understands the concept of a leg-lengthening pant – its wide-legged leather pants, complete with a high waist and pooling bottoms, are just the ticket. Tuck in Joseph’s casual crew-neck tee to balance the point-toe Manolo Blahniks. A suede Bottega Veneta bag in an earthy hue turns this monochrome palette into a masterclass in modern minimalism.
