SHREDS OF EASE
*with Brennan Aldred
written Chidozie Obasi
There’s a wear-anywhere mood of ease in the air this summer. If you follow the trend-leaning wave of insiders, you may have noticed more practicality-driven posts – ditto breezy shapes, soft tailoring and functional apparel, too.
The preferred styling method for these offerings? Pairing them with regular pieces like shirts, loafers and elevated handbags – to seamlessly incorporate plush flair into the everyday. It’s a proposition that, for several seasons, has emerged on the runways; via structured layering and tasteful practicality at Loro Piana and Paul Smith, as well as romantic cues at Valentino, elevated essentials at CHB Christian Boaro, leather staples at Tod’s and directional pants at Versace. The trick to integrating essentials into your wardrobe beyond a run? Look no further than what you already have, try low-lift combinations, and don’t be hesitant to inject bold colours. Below, scroll on and let LE MILE’s edit inspire you. You’re welcome.
