COLE HAAN (New York) Colourblock Penny Loafer

After the dapper LunarGrand wingtips, Cole Haan introduces yet another must-have design. This striking colourblock pair combines the classic penny loafer with the customary LunarGRand outsole for a dose of dress-meets-sport appeal.
The premium leather upper offers incredible quality, while the bright outsole provides enhanced cushioning and flexibility courtesy of Nike’s innovative technology.

Etc.

A sweet short film for your Sunday enjoyment.

ACNE (Sweden) Printed Maxi Dress

This is easy chic at its best. From cult Swedish label ACNE (Ambition to Create Novel Expressions), we love the deceptively simple cut and clean, loose lines of this dress. Whilst the front remains quite plain, the back has surprising pleating details that give way to a lovely mini train.
Throw this maxi on with stacks of bracelets and platform sandals to work the brand’s signature nonchalance.
To style it in a more luxuriously laid-back way, garnish with a long statement necklace and pin heels.
(RRP £350 / US$460)

Founded in Stockholm in 1996, ACNE’s clothing is known for being seasonless. Pieces from the Spring/Summer are equally relevant and desirable in Fall/Winter, which is quite a rarity.

TIBI (New York) Colourblock Blazer

 
Colourblock continues to play a major role this season. With colourblock contrast, a slightly retro-inspired silhouette, and a fun androgynous feel, this silky blazer from NYC label Tibi is a refreshing take on tailoring.
Keep this bold look in focus with a simple top, a pair of skinny trousers, and some really pointy patent heels.
(RRP US$398)

Tibi founder Amy Smilovic’s appreciation for the bold and beautiful rings especially true in her colourblock aethetic this season, and the fans are lapping it up.

For a style that’s anything but square, add a pop to your wardrobe with contrasting colourblock.
