High-waist jeans can create a streamlined silhouette, eliminating any gap between a top and trousers, as demonstrated by fashion assistant Hope Palmer. This styling approach allows for a waist-skimming fit.
A comparison of three different price points reveals how to achieve a chic look without a designer price tag.
Budget Ensemble
A budget-friendly outfit, totaling £134.88, includes a £29.90 shirt from Uniqlo, £39.99 trousers from Mango, £13 sunglasses and £25 sandals from ASOS, and a £26.99 bag from Rebellious Fashion.
Mid-Range Option
A mid-range ensemble is priced at £446. This includes a £67 shirt from & Other Stories, £75 trousers from Abercrombie, £65 sunglasses from John Lewis, a £110 bag from Calvin Klein, and £129 sandals from Revolve.
Luxury Look
The high-end version of a similar style totals £3,851. This includes an £810 shirt from Jil Sander, £260 trousers from Mother, and a £1,900 bag from Alaïa, all available at Net-a-Porter. Sunglasses from Dolce & Gabbana cost £256 at Harrods, and sandals from Aquazzura are £625.
The season's updated boxy silhouette for poplin shirts offers a contemporary update on a classic style. Consumers can now find versions of this trend at vastly different price points, from £30 to £810, questioning the necessity of opting for designer labels to achieve the look.
