Straightforward Style: Simplicity with an impact

Clean lines, monochrome palettes and lots of character. The straightforward style is comprised by interesting cuts and one of a kind patterns yet always remaining modernly simple. To achieve this taste in fashion, look for pieces that will accentuate your existing wardrobe and give it a new point of view while avoiding overly colorful or complicated designs. Easy on the eye repetition will be your ally and therefore symmetry, geometry, colorblocking, laser and crochet-like cuts are the way to go.
