Dressy casuals
Codes of dressing are constantly changing. The constant evolution of style changes according to trends, forecasts and transition of one season to another, among other things.
Ultra luxe has been high on the trend meter for several seasons now with the burst of bold prints, high-wattage hues and chic textures. Decadence has rekindled its romance with fashion as designers parade and showcase their distinct points of view.
The look of casuals this holiday season has taken a new form and it materialized with a touch of sophistication.
This season, the chic Spanish streetwear brand Springfield is taking casuals style forward.
For women, style resonates with the return to decadence. The brand’s latest collection raises the bar of the classic and standard in casual dressing. Without losing its “casual” aesthetic, the brand currently presents streetwear in modern refinement. Winter hues and iconic prints unfold in their most captivating textures. Luxe fabrication transforms simple laid-back pieces into dressy casuals. Houndstooth patterns matched with leather accessories or sweaters with rhinestone details elevate casual into something style-smart.
For men, striped and checkered prints are matched with plain-colored chinos in blue and maroon to create that fashionable modern sporty look. Menswear presents a new kind of daily smart. Up-to-date styling and contemporary tailoring are present with a refined sensibility in relaxed dressy casual. The new sleek is seen in blue and gray trousers with tops in plain patterns or checkered prints or long-sleeved polo shirts combined with colored sweaters or light jackets. Updating the dressy tailored look, the brand mix and matches it up with sneakers that are still current and relevant on everyone’s list.
Casuals this season have definitely turned a new leaf. Whether for the office or anywhere, this on-the-radar look will become the new ultra-cool. There’s nothing wrong with being a little more polished.
We are all dressing up casuals for the holidays.
