POWER DRESSING
Meet The New Tailored Edge
Once upon a time, power dressing meant structured shoulders and cigarette pants, but this summer’s flavour of tailored confidence enrolls the sophisticated assistance of loose-fitting blazers and wide-leg trousers. We’ve found glorious examples of this fluid look at Karl Lagerfeld - utilising a soft, neutral colour palette in order to let the silhouette do all the talking (but black and navy looks will work equally as well too). Both blazer and trousers can be worn as separates, and in the case of the latter, you can complement the palazzo pant vibe with a sharp waistcoat in a similar tone. Oversized white or off-white shirts by Pinko are another stylish device to emphasise the flowy aesthetic, all of which you can punctuate with sharper angles in your pointy shoes, belt, and clutch bag.
STATEMENT ACCESSORIES
Small Stature, Big Statement
Sometimes, all you need for a wardrobe refresh is an accessories upgrade, and this season’s offerings will not disappoint. From bold tone clutch bags to kaleidoscopic statement wedges via look-at-me sunglasses and chunky jewellery, there are a million and one ways to give your looks a glow-up at Designer Outlet Castel Romano this season. We’re in love with the colourful clutches and leather handbags at the likes of Coach and Michael Kors, all of which create a strong contrast to the white lace trend, and really complement the must-have midi skirt trend. Stand-out shoes in the shape of strappy sandals by Sergio Rossi, flats by Pollini and sling-backs by Boss won’t fail to turn heads, while a final colourful flourish by way of a bold leather belt and oversized shades will ensure that you are the most talked-about guest at every summer party.
STATEMENT SKIRTS
These Skirts Bring All The Fun
After many seasons of maxi and midi dresses stealing the limelight, 2024 looks like the year of the skirt, but not just any skirt. On the runways of Tom Ford, Proenza Schouler, and many others, it was the statement midi skirt that was making the headlines, and it came glittering, twinkling, and sparkling. Shop the trend for less, from shiny sequins and sparkly details by Patrizia Pepe, to fringes and tassels by Pinko, these skirts are not only eye-catching, but a breeze to style, too. Think barely-there sleeveless tops by Guess, fine-knit crew neck jumpers by Peserico and dressy satin shirts by Blumarine - just keep your tops muted to allow the skirt the spotlight it deserves. Pointed sling-backs by Furla are our favourite way to bookend this trend, while a statement clutch by Karl Lagerfeld is the cherry on the cake.
