Loosen up a little…
It’s the balancing act that can tip even the most sartorially adept among us over the edge: put together but not decidedly so, undone yet polished. And when that unassumingly cool look is achieved, it’s likely not by accident. It’s wearing a dress over pants, but keeping the tones in sync. It’s unbuttoning your shirt just enough, but starting at the bottom rather than the top. It’s layering sandals over sheer stockings when the weather shifts, and it’s taking a traditionally prim texture like tweed and subverting it with say-my-name chains. Think of it as shifting your styling cues just a little left of centre, because sometimes mastering the subtle art of undone involves colouring outside of the lines.
