After a year of wearing tracksuits and pajamas, how is this a way to transition back to "normal life" in style while maintaining comfort
It may also be hard to get rid of cozy indoor slippers and merino wool tracksuits. The solution?
Ease back into "soft dressing" while delivering style and comfort with a healthy feel.
Whether it's a coat with the most luxurious fabric, a pair of striking leather boots, or a knitted hairnet that doubles as a protective cover, the pursuit is optimal comfort.
If being brave isn't an issue, try the season's biggest trend: head-to-toe teddy bear fuzz.
Here are seven comfortable ways to get a soft look in no time.
- Double the knitwear, double the fun
It's time for the classic trench coat to make its way back to the forefront of our wardrobes, but this time, for maximum comfort, opt for a ribbed knit style perfect for a post-pandemic dating binge.
Whether it's a tight dress from Proenza Schouler and Fendi, or a sexy miniskirt from Tom Ford, whatever the look, it's soft and vibrant.
- Are you wearing those fluffy Chanel boots? Yes.
Remember the Y2K Muluk boots worn by Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan? Well, it's official: the look is back.
But now it's time to change up your look by contrasting your cute shoes with a tailored boucle dress, or simply head to apres-ski a la Miu Miu for a stylish snowman moment with a padded full-body outdoor outfit.
Whichever path you choose, the shakier the shoe, the better.
- Now it's time to turn your undergarments into outerwear
Long Johns have certainly been a staple of the season since they hit Prada menswear in January.
For best results, try a pair of vibrant shoes with a clash print.
For a softer option, opt for a monochrome, such as AV Vattev, and throw on a matching pullover.
If co-creative directors Prada and Raf Simons recommend bold new looks, people should probably listen.
- Hairnets are emotions
An often-forgotten accessory, the hairnet is making a comeback. Given the current global health crisis, a hairnet makes a lot of sense because it can easily double as a mask.
Co-ordinate the colours with Eckhaus Latta's thick knit jumper, or opt for a playful Givenchy version with AZ Factory's re-satin double-breasted top for pleasure.
- Prepare for the party, but make yourself comfortable
Feeling unattractive? Nothing says "classy" like a fitted maxi dress, but you can opt for a micro-knit dress instead.
Wear them simply with white ankle boots or ballet flats; You can use lavender color collocation to exude extreme vitality.With a quirky Milanese art dealer's aesthetic, slip on a few pairs of luxe bespoke pants at Fashion East's Maximilian label.
- Snuggle up in a luxurious, soft coat
While the whole world is in the mood for a better outdoor life, virtual fashion shows are filled with textured coats begging to be touched on picturesque mountaintops.
From Rick Owens' off-the-beaten-track down - opera coat - coat mix, to Rokh's gorgeous beige teddy bear coat with leather bodice, to Vaquera's sexy quilted silk dressing gown, there's something you can touch for any occasion.
- Who says blankets can't be stylish?
Clothing, like comfy duvets, has quickly become a staple of the home, so wrap the body in one of Marni's comfy duvet capes, or Balenciaga's huge retina-covered plaid scarves, which are so big they come in handy for summer picnics.
As in Erdem, you can also choose to hold the arms gracefully to fully show the appearance underneath.
