Then there is the double shirt (see Loewe Spring 2026). Use white or blue as your base (in a thin cotton or even silk) and add a bigger, contrasting colourful shirt on top. If you have oversized shirts and are at a loss at how to wear them, with the shirt undone, try crossing the shirt tails over each other, like a wrap. Then tuck each side into your jeans. Find the corresponding buttons and do a couple up. Et voilà ! A new way to wear it.
Turn up the dimmer switch on your old midi dresses, too, by swapping white trainers for colour co-ordinated ones, slip a jumper over the top and knot it at the side if it’s too long. Layer it over a T-shirt or shirt, or change the mood with a sporty nylon blouson jacket.
