Precious Cargo: twelve ways to rock some low-key staples
Some of our fashion editor's faves this week
When it comes to the fashion long-haul, simple staples win big. Not only do they keep you looking put together (even when you feel like falling apart), their reputation for taming trends makes them true closet keepers.
This season’s soft utility vibe is a prime example. Think '90s cargo aesthetic styled with diaphanous fabrics and frills as seen at Isabel Marant to Coperni’s low-key tailored take on the trend.
As for the high street? The Frankie Shop’s body-conscious cut-outs deserve a click-to-cart, not to mention Zara and Monki’s palette-cleansing colours. Don’t just take it from us. Embrace the softer side of utility dressing with these 12 lovely looks.
