Scarf was just a soft launch
rather obvious trend prediction; in the hype list, most wanted accessory now, Almada label, Byredo new scent, London latest fashion pop-ups and more
The day I got my hands on Enza Costa twill scarf top, I was styling it often and in every way possible, but the top. (sorry Enza Costa!) As usual, summer has very little to offer when it comes to layering, mostly jewelry. And even though there is no shortage in accessories department this season, fashion community brought back the lightest world’s layer to make outfits interesting. You must have seen a surge of scarf layers, over trousers or a skirt, and bigger scarfs layered over the blazers? Exactly.
After my quarterly analysis of summer and pre-fall collections, it became clear that the whole scarf styling idea was just a soft launch of what is yet to come—skirt and trouser combo going mainstream.
Phoebe Philo certainly thinks so. The first one, tee, trouser and skirt look makes me want to master this outfit for late summer.
And so is The Row with their Selima top, which technically, is only half of the skirt and sold out instantly, but I’m very into the Look 39.
Khaite, having played her part of dress/trouser combo with this SS25 look (first picture), moved to layering the tops for FW25, but nevertheless with wide leg trousers which kind of resembles the skirt after-all.
Toteme served us mini skirt trousers ready to wear, which only solidified the fact that we will be seeing more of this layering in the upcoming year and I’m rather excited to see it.
HYPE LIST
Toe rings — never been much of a feet jewelry wearer, but Louis Abel Uzu Toe ring is growing on me.
Byredo launched new scent—it’s coconuty, it’s summer, it’s not too overpowering—it’s ALTO ASTRA.
No mascara girl era—driven by Hailey Bieber, is something worth of a thought, but you will need an eye lash curler, a good creme blush and The Minimalist from Merit, which has quickly became my minimal make up necessity.
Summer isn’t over yet, so Pixi launched on-the-glow spf sticks (they look delicious) and aftersun sheet masks.
Almada label just launched this cape and I need a restraining order from shopping early fall arrivals. But I rationalised that I can wear it for cooler days and summer evenings in London.
Leset has just launched their August collection; black Lauren Bracelet Top is on pre-order and I want to pre-order. I recently bought their new Margo Boatneck, and it’s one of those basics you just don’t want to let go of, I sized up from S to M for more relaxed fit.
The Row fall 2025 is here and Agnes bag is already sold out and on back order; my eye also wondered over to Arwen coat, should I?; but I found one Elke oversized silk jacket available too.
London limited time pop-ups are blooming all summer, the latest two worth a trip: Heaven Mayhem in Selfridges will be open until November; and Bessette (discount designer fashion space) opening their doors for 4 days in August 15-19th, that’s weekend sorted!
