Modern Minimalism
Here's how
Think sleek, simple shapes in luxurious fabrics. (This is investment dressing at its best.) Work with neutral tones — like our favourites, black and white — and you can’t go wrong. Even a classic dress shirt looks sharp tucked into a voluminous balloon-cut skirt. Add extra excitement with a single accent colour.
Look for
• Cocoon & boxy shapes
• Perforated leather
• Tailored pants
• Structured accessories
• Man-style flats
• Unadorned pumps
• Textured fabrics
• Button-down shirts
