by The sales of coordinates increase every year. Without becoming overly philosophical on this matter, the hour comes, the outfit comes.
In a crazy, crazy world, coorders represent order and bring a feeling of control into a cloakroom that could otherwise be filled with anarchic elements that refuse to work together. Even Chanel’s most recent Couture show, which was aimed at the type of women who have personal stylists and real maids who take care of their clothes – showed them.
In a way, coordinations may appear a small life step, but you can lead small steps on a large journey.
Would you like to know something else? Many women – I know that from their e -mails – find dresses. In the past (and I am not talking about the Dickensian time, but in the 1980s and early nineties, when Vogue and Butterick sewing pattern were not just a retro -zety time arrangement) they could easily go up a that actually fit or find someone who would do it for them for a reasonable fee. Good luck to find a flattering dress on the High Street today.
For those of us who love the feeling of a vague difficult hem (after years in my pants, I enjoy wearing skirts this summer), a rock coordinate has not finally know that the proportions look right when buying both parts and give the same elongated visual effect as a good dress.
I got a lot of wear from this Brown Me+EM set, which has proven to be so popular that they did it in ivory and black. Ideal if you are on a mini break on the city (I was in Paris for the couture shows when this picture was taken) and had to outline the maximum number of appearance from her hand luggage.
These incremental advantages are a big thing – often what has been wearing me with skirts in recent years in recent years has not been able to find a top that has not been taken off a bit with a skirt or cut into two parts. Handy is also the way you can wear something that feels casual and still looks together how the stripe linen here from Kindred of Ireland, a small independent label that becomes a gangbustern in the USA.
If you think coordinations could only be a summer matter, I see them on the horizon for the winter. Pants are included. I mean not only the conventional tailor -made suit with a blazer pants (and tailor -made shorts and Bermudas) are now equipped with suitable shirts and tunics, less formally than a tailor -made suit, but slim. Ritting costs are also becoming increasingly popular.
The best of everything is that you can buy the top and underside in different sizes – the next best to make a dress for you. During the holidays, coorders are particularly practical and impossible to surprisingly shorts co-folders. Share them by the pool and wear them as a set with glamorous jewelry for relaxed evenings.
The real lesson here, as Stylist Annabel Hodin once told me, is that when you see a top or jacket that looks like she depends on a few pants or a skirt nearby, buy both if you can. It may sound extravagant, but it will work proportional and colored. And that ultimately spent money with care.
