Trend of the week: Laid-back luxe

Laid-back luxe never looked so cool.

INSPIRATION

Summer is officially in full swing. Time to swap out those sensible separates for free-spirited fashion. From Etro’s colour clash prints to Cavalli’s voluminous kaftans; not to mention Kate Moss’ eponymously cool Topshop collection, the riff is easy and breezy. Silhouettes are soft and loose with luxe fabrication and beatnik beading as standard. Style made simple.

STYLE NOTES

¦ Edge out a floaty frock with a gunmetal chain belt as seen at Etro and a Kate Moss-inspired cropped leather jacket.

¦ Segue a kaftan from seaside to the city with wide leg trousers and strappy heels.

¦ Small accents make a big impact. Try an animal print scarf and an ethnic pom pom bag with a simple t-shirt and jeans.

¦ Like layering? Kimonos make the perfect companion for your favourite boho piece. Think silky maxi dresses, embroidered tunics and hippie chick pendants.
