Styling monochrome vibes for a simple summer combo. Running a clean colour palette of predominantly white, the striped shirt adds a bold element. The tailored chinos by Saba refine the look, while the viscose fabric used in this striped shirt by Zara helps create an easy and flowy silhouette that shares a summer vibe.
Viscose fabric is not stiff or ridged and has great drape qualities which makes it a great look for summer shirting. It doesn’t breath as well as cotton but the loose fit and airiness will still keep you cool while creating a fluid profile for the body perfect for styling a French Tuck. A French Tuck is when you place a slight portion of the front of your shirt into your trousers or jeans, keeping the back of your shirt out for a relaxed look.
Rounding out any look is anchored by accessories. In this case, I have to say the small hero of the look is my Prada pouch. By far the best accessory to hold all your necessities, the texture of this piece provides a sturdy hold-all and one that will last the distance. Made of Saffiano leather, this unique leather to Prada was created by the house over 100 years ago. One of the most identifiable leather textures in the luxury fashion market, Saffiano leather was first established by the House of Prada in 1913. Mario Prada was the mind behind the innovative and durable leather which saw the beginning of the fashion houses’ line of handbags.
Made in an Italian tannery, the signature and patent calf leather was named after its cross hatch texture that was pressed into the wax coating applied to the leather forming this unique diagonal print. Manufacture by treating the leather with heat at 70’C, a wax coating is applied before pressing the iconic crosshatch texture into the leather. The result is a very durable product that has scratch and water repellent qualities all with a classic appeal. This textured leather has become an instant trademark for the House of Prada making it one iconic piece to any wardrobe.
I’ve had my Giuseppe Zanotti espadrilles for a couple of summers now, and they are honestly one of the best investments to date! Some luxe brands can miss the memo of producing comfort and style by Giuseppe Zanotti hits the mark in these croc print leather shoes.
