From fresh color pairings to interesting new ways of wearing accessories, these styling tips can immediately spruce up your look for the season.
As obvious as it may sound, reinvigorating your style for a new season doesn’t have to mean buying a whole new set of clothes – often the pieces that will inject life into your looks are already sitting in your wardrobe. The secret? Being smart with your styling. Whether it’s a color combination, silhouette, hemline length, or even just a particular way to wear a belt, often it’s the most subtle changes that can make the biggest difference. Take Bottega Veneta’s viral flannel-shirt-and-jeans look from its autumn/winter 2022 collection – so starkly simple, yet also revolutionary in its simplicity.
While social media is a treasure trove of outfit ideas, we find that the fashion week runways are the richest, and most original, source of inspiration in this department. It’s where the industry’s most skilled creatives experiment with sartorial tropes and encourage us to look at certain items in new ways. Of course, every brand and creative director has its own signature style, so it can be helpful to acquaint yourself with the different brand DNAs to work out which one best aligns with your personal style.
Miu Miu and Prada are always worth taking note of when it comes to new season ideas, and both came through spectacularly for spring/summer and autumn/winter 2024, thanks to their high-fashion reframing of wardrobe basics, such as the polo top and the boxy blazer. The Row, meanwhile, has become a key reference point for silhouettes, and this season we took note of the brand’s knee-grazing skirts, which were styled with untucked shirts and slouchy raincoats. Add to this Dries van Noten’s mesh layering and Peter Do’s Noughties skirt-over-trousers styling, and you have yourself a winning springtime lineup.
