No matter how you want to turn up the impact of an outfit, just a few tweaks will do — reimagine a dress as a tunic, play up a clutch, or draw attention to your shoes.
Rethink Existing Pieces
Above: At Marcus Luengo, a leather dress is reimagined as a tunic. Take inspiration from this runway transformation and use a long dressshirt as a dress, or pull a skirt up to below the collarbone as a maxidress.
Shoes! Take the first step
Go the extra mile in styles that are as comfortable as they are striking.
Clockwise from top left:
Strappy Sandal Pumps: Opened toe shoes are formal and elegant; in a bright, bold colour they are functional yet luxe.
Heeled Sandals: Get a leg up on summer with slim ankle straps that looks sophisticated in a goes-with-everything shade.
Patent Leather Mules: Slip on these super comfortable numbers with a pair of jeans or a workday skirt.
Gladiators: When a stiletto is too much and flat is too little, a slightly lifted heel feels just right for this style.
(Convertible) Clutch! Grab and go-go-go
Go hands-free with summer’s sunniest accessory, a clutch is the perfect arm candy, and makes any outfit happier!
Clockwise from top left:
Mellow Yellow: A nod to the 1960s pill box with a fresh colour and convertible handle.
Large Buckle Envelope Purse: A calming white outfit balances the intensity of this eye-catching orange full of optimism.
Woven Two Tone: Show off this taupe clutch which is an elegant and updated version of a classic, beachy straw purse.
Round Laser-Cut Pattern: Add interest to an otherwise simple look with this piece which is just so on point!
