Garment Suggestions
Look to style icons from the glamour of old movies and more recent leading ladies who took their inspiration from the original icons. Think of the sharp silhouettes that Marlene Dietrich, Katherine Hepburn, Lauran Bacall and Ingrid Bergman created with their classic tuxedo-style suits and matching figure-hugging waistcoats.
Wide palazzo leg trousers with (cinched waists) worn with the classic silk shirt, matching waistcoat and tuxedo blazer. For an alternative style choose slim-leg cigarette pants or classic pleat fronted pegs. Hack this silhouette into dramatic jumpsuit styles like the Vogue - V1524 perfect for evening dresses or special occasions.
Dress wearers choose from slim sheath or shift dress styles to classic '50s style fit and flare styles or hip-hugging wiggle dresses with fishtail hems, fan pleat vents and fluted peplums. these are of course the dressier end of our suggestions dilute these into key pieces like; classic blazers, trousers and neat pencil skirts for a luxurious touch to your key pieces.
