TREND WATCH
The Easy Luxe trend is all
about wearable, staple
pieces in luxury fabrics such
as cashmere, silk, suede and
leather. Super-chic, skirts are
knee-length or to the calf,
while trousers are slouchy
and wide-legged, or narrow
(without being skin-tight).
The high waist is also key.
Donna Karan, Yves
Saint Laurent, Chloe,
Lanvin, Ralph Lauren,
Salvatore Ferragamo
and Jil Sander have all
embraced luxury classics
this season. And if your
budget won’t stretch to
designer prices, look to
high-street stores such
as Cos, Banana Republic,
Gap and Zara for Easy
Luxe on a budget.
