Nothing says chic quite like a muted colour palette, minimal lines and an attitude of total effortlessness. Shop the shoot for your essential summer wardrobe.
Monochrome
Monochrome is an easy way to keep things simple.
Shades of grey can stop black statement items from
looking too serious. This black leather bustier dress
from Louis Vuitton breaks up the black monoblock
with textured stitching.
Monocolour has been a huge trend for 2017, but it
doesn't have to mean black: white can feel a little
more summery when the sun is out. Match this
Stella McCartney dress with pale tan sunglasses
from Gentle Monster, to keep things light and
fresh.
Textures
Simple is still stylish when you keep the palette
monochrome and play with textures instead.
We love the wrap-around Alexander Wang bra
and high-waist trousers, overlayed with the Loewe
lace top.
Mix and match satin, netting and frills for a fun
monocolour outfit. This bralette from Eres and
dress from Alexandre Vauthier are a playful
combination for summer chic.
Geometric Patterns
When you pare back, it's all about the cut: eye-catching
shapes, like this Fendi top, play on geometric silhouettes,
while well-tailored wide-leg trousers like this cream pair
from Fendi are a wardrobe staple.
Geometric patterns and cuts are an easy way to bring
muted colours to life. Alaïa's oval-patterned top is
perfect when paired with Alexander Wang mixed
gold and silver tone earrings.
