FAQ’s
Q. Is there a difference between a button-up and a button-down?
A. Yes, there is a difference, a button-up shirt is essentially just any shirt with a button front, while a button-down shirt is always a shirt with both a button-front detail and buttons on each side of the collar.
Q. Is fashion this season leaning towards less or more?
A. Definitely more this season. And then a bit more. Gone are the days of a single, stark, loungewear being all you need to get through the day. Fashion is switching to more complicated silhouettes with vibrant hues.
Q. What's the biggest 'stayer' of the season?
A. If you want to rely on what you've already got, look around your closet and surface with an oversized boyfriend blazer. This is a permatrend, a wardrobe staple, and it has been knocking around for so long that you simply have to have one.
Q. What's the top print for spring 2021?
A. We’re always perplexed by our wish to wear exactly the same print as everyone else, but florals and geometric prints are big this season so you might want to invest into those for now.
Q. What are the wrong trousers?
A. None of them, they are all good to go. Although wide-legged trousers are a major trend this year, but only if you are willowy and lanky.
