Its shape, its loud and unique print and the easy to match color palette make it a winner to be imported into your wardrobe regardless of its final use. Such an item is original enough to create edgy and modern outfits around it yet its classic shape allows for more polished pieces to complement it in a chic way.

The New Effortless Chic

Great outfits don't always have to be cutting edge to be memorable. Simple yet naturally stylish and elegant, a monochromatic palette with different patterns and textures makes for a refreshing and on-point fashion combination. Choose white or cream, black or navy as a base and add details in gold with chains, studs or jewelry; incorporate texture by choosing pleats, sheers or repetitive patterns and you will achieve an effortless yet sophisticated look.

A new twist on Coco Chanel's unforgettable style.
