Handle with care: 10 delicate looks to try this season

This season, the fashion lens is set to a softer, more intimate sartorial focus. Blurring the lines between romance and sensuality, it’s all about delicate fabrics that need to be handled with care. Think whimsical organza dresses wrapped in a big bow or a French boudoir-inspired cami paired with soft satin trousers for an understated yet alluring approach to summer dressing.
