The sales have just begun and we are here to give you our advice on how to best guide your purchases. We are sure you are already aware of the season’s trends – prints, colours, fabrics – so we will get straight to the point: we want to give you some tips on what to buy to treat yourself to a seasonal indulgence, but also a timeless piece.
Colours, as we know, are more seasonal: if this has been the year of brown and you will still find some echoes in the Spring-Summer collection, we know that in the past blue, for example, disappeared for several collections from our wardrobes, as did some shades of purple, or even red or pink.
And the prints? There are some more distinctive ones, whose “ageing” you would more easily notice (see the monogram patterns, very popular for some time now but, frankly, not eternal in our wardrobes), others instead that become a safe haven to retreat to whenever you want to add a touch of character and personality to your looks. The same goes for fabrics: we have been flooded with tweed, then bouclé, then satin, and so on, but there is one that crosses not just seasons, but even years. Have you guessed which one? No spoilers, keep reading!
And so yes, we will talk about a timeless print, namely animal print, and garments in leather or faux leather: you buy them today, you potentially wear them forever.
Can you remember a season when animal print completely disappeared from the catwalks or shops? The answer is no, and this is because, as striking as they are, we always find a certain something fascinating in their wild aesthetic.
Sometimes they are zebra-striped, sometimes leopard-spotted, this year’s seem to lean towards the world of reptiles, with snake and crocodile textures used in large amounts by brands like Elisabetta Franchi, or towards the classic spotted pattern, as in the case of Aniye By or the accessories by Twinset.
Take advantage of the discounts to secure at least a couple of pieces of this incredibly feminine print, which if worn well and in moderation becomes absolutely a style ally rather than a sign of poor taste.
It’s hard to go wrong if you limit its enchanting power to a small accessory that bursts into your look like a feline: a small scarf tied around the neck or the bag to give a twist to an office outfit, or an animal print belt on the simplest knitted dress, a spotted handbag on your city walking coat. Small touches of style, so you don’t have to give up a trend without overdoing it.
Also try keeping a shirt or a blouse with this print in your wardrobe: you can show it off with denim and a cardigan to brighten up a casual look, or with a mini skirt and ankle boots for an aperitif or night out outfit.
Another always-current super trend? Leather. Whether real or synthetic, the Autumn-Winter collection of our top brands is full of it, offered especially in clothing items as well as in classic accessories.
Leather is one of those materials that truly does not know the word “end of season”: it changes shape, changes colour, but always remains a certainty in the wardrobe. For this reason, sales become the ideal moment to invest in it without guilt. If once we associated it almost exclusively with biker jackets and accessories, today we find it in midi dresses, skirts, trousers and shirts, perfect to accompany you from office to leisure with great ease.
Our advice is to focus on clean and well-made silhouettes, which can cross the years without losing appeal: a leather dress with a simple line, like those we have offered you with our Khloè brand, a midi skirt to pair with soft jumpers and boots, or tailored trousers as you can find in Twinset, capable of elevating even the simplest knitwear.
Colours? Black remains a great classic, but do not underestimate warm tones like leather brown or dark chestnut, easy to match and less tied to current fashions.
And that leather shirt or those crocodile print trousers by Elisabetta Franchi? You have two reasons to add them to your cart right now: whether you simply want to enjoy a current trend and put it aside as soon as you no longer feel comfortable with such a particular garment, now it costs less and it’s the right time to indulge yourself; if instead you don’t buy what is fashionable, but only what you like, sure of knowing how to include it in your style season after season, then even better if you can save up to half price!
Have we managed to make you think of something different from the usual must-haves on sale? That is jeans, outerwear, boots: sometimes even what doesn’t seem strictly necessary can become the key element of your wardrobe, that is what best expresses your personality.
