I confess that the athleisure era that gained popularity with Rosalía’s Mal Querer got on my nerves. That’s why I was so glad when I saw that silent luxury and a new reading of preppy were back in fashion. For years, capsule wardrobes have been the kings wherever they go, and the vast majority of trends aim to give a different air to what we already know. We have observed it with the rebirth of neon neutrals, with modern heritage and with the popularization of basics that our mothers wore in the 90s. In short, sophisticated style is in fashion.
Figures such as Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, Charlotte York, Kate Moss or Meghan Markle (among others), have contributed to making all of us adjust the way we dress. The diversification of styles and ways of living fashion continues, however, we are buying less, but of higher quality, so we think twice before giving in to unnecessary impulses.
In this way, sophistication has become part of our daily life. The distinctive touches, accessories with personality or the Y2K trends or more urban ones are integrated into looks in the form of accessories, but the base is clean, neutral and discreet; regardless of age, body type or the setting you face.
Six basics for a sophisticated style
Pantalón tipo sastre de H&M, 29,99 euros.
H&M tailored pants, 29.99 euros. Ideal to wear to the office with oversized shirts or Perkins-style high collars, they are a basic that never goes out of fashion and that raises the level of any other piece. Plus, they fit like a glove.
Falda lápiz de Sfera, 39,99 euros.
Sfera pencil skirt, 39.99 euros. Remember my words: it will be one of the autumn’s favorite basics. This type of skirts has gained a lot of popularity, so they are a 90s-inspired investment that will be everywhere.
Blazer negro de Zara, 39,95 euros.
Black blazer from Zara, 39.95 euros. Considering its cut and its price, it is a statement piece worth (and very worthwhile). You’ll wear it with a suit, over dresses, with pencil skirts, and also with your jeans.
Falda midi de piel de Adolfo Domínguez, 52 euros.
Adolfo Domínguez leather midi skirt, 52 euros. It’s one of those opportunities you shouldn’t miss. It pairs with everything, looks great, and is perfect for simple looks with a touch of distinctive personality.
Vestido negro de Ralph Lauren, 245 euros.
Ralph Lauren black dress, 245 euros. I can’t think of a better investment than a black midi dress. You’ll wear it to the office, for dinners with friends, dates, or even for slightly more elegant events. It will be one of your wardrobe’s essential basics.
Falda blanca de Massimo Dutti, 79,95 euros.
Massimo Dutti white skirt, 79,95 euros. I find it a beauty to behold and one you can get a lot of use out of. My favorite way to wear it is through monochrome outfits, but it also works very well with colors like cognac brown, chocolate, or charcoal gray.
