LUX FOR LESS
THE BROCADE JACKET
Traditionally used for eveningwear, the opulent fabric has taken a more playful direction this spring/summer. Dries van Noten’s exuberant version saw it take on modernised silhouettes with full skirts and wide-legged trousers. Comme des Garçons, meanwhile, made a case for the theatrical with deconstructed berms and oversize jackets (which are all the rage now). Add instant oomph to your look by teaming yours with playful loafers, or go the full hog by clashing brocades with contrasting prints and textures.
