The Shopping Edit: Festival Essentials

Edi­to­r­i­al Assis­tant, Leelou Reboh

Warmer days are (final­ly) right around the cor­ner and so is the time to spring-clean our clos­ets, giv­ing us the per­fect excuse for trad­ing oldies for new state­ment pieces to kick off the tran­si­tion into the sum­mer. Inspired by the trends spot­ted on the Spring/Summer 24 run­way, this care­ful­ly curat­ed shop­ping edit is the per­fect guide to give your wardrobe a styl­ish refresh ahead of the sun­ny fes­ti­val season!

Asymmetric Chic

Decon­struc­tion is the key­word of the sea­son. Defy the clas­si­cal norms of fash­ion design, and opt for asym­met­ric hem­lines and plack­ets instead! OVERDUE’s favourites include Jaque­mus’ “Pablo” shirt and JW Anderson’s sleeve­less wrap dress.

Playful Prints

For­get flo­rals for spring, this sea­son is all about mis-match­ing unex­pect­ed prints! From Louisa Ballou’s paint­ed sun­set pants, to Con­ner Ives’s chee­tah accents, the only rule is that there are no rules when it comes to patterns. 

Big and Poofy

Don’t be afraid to go big this sum­mer! Extrav­a­gant and struc­tur­al sil­hou­ettes such as bub­ble skirts and bouf­fant sleeves are an easy trade from for­mal lines to take any look to the next lev­el. And remem­ber, the bold­er the better!

Spacey Edge

As an accent or a state­ment, metallics are the most excit­ing styles to indulge in and keep your wardrobe on top of the lat­est fash­ion trends. Bring an unex­pect­ed flair of futur­ism to your out­fits by mar­ry­ing sil­vers and golds with your every­day sta­ples, and emu­late the edgy spir­it en vogue this season.

Sensual Sheers

To reveal, or to con­ceal? That seems to be one of the pre­vail­ing ques­tions in fash­ion this spring. From Alaïa to MM6 Mai­son Margiela, every design­er pre­sent­ed their take on sheers on the cat­walk. Play­ing with fab­rics to show some skin with­out shed­ding any lay­ers, going sheer is the per­fect way to bring a sexy yet classy twist to your day-to-day look.
