Yep this is my

l u x e look.

Working titles both working for me.

So this is my homage to the new season silhouette – all be it pyjama playful – which I’m calling Man’s World (so think man’s wardrobe). And yep; this trend for mannish, loose layers has seen ME luxe lifting from the Mr. Luxe closet!! So, technically these are HIS last season silkies – my Marc Jacobs twinset got *lost-in-transit last summer, left in the Cote d’azur.

*soaked in Tanqueray + tonic then tossed ashore

So rendered garb-less and net-a-porter-impatient, I soldiered on with the steam press and practised safe pinning

*super impressed claps*

For l u x e inspiration, I’ve copycatted a stella strip. Yeah yours McCartney!!

But before you robe-up and ready yourself for bed, here’s some l u x e wisdom on perfecting sleep-suit-glam.

  • Polyfibres pretending to be silk, stay away. Yes to cotton. No to corduroy. Only the brave buy linen – #ironslave
  • Think loose tailoring not room-for-a-pony-playsuit. If a little oversized, embrace l u x e survival instincts and safety pin into place.
  • New season = new length. For fall/winter think ankle-swing and choose a wide-legged pant with maximum *ankleposure
  • If you’re petite (like 5’4″ me) have pants skimming the floor – you’ve all summer to show off your Choos. #buildabridge
  • Finally, be brave. Add print – for personality – I’m a fan of the forest but whatever floats your boat.

.

*anklesposure – sounds painful. it’s really not. it’s when the trouser leg swishes on or above the ankle-bone. beautiful. bit jeal.
