How to do casual opulence this winter

14 July 2017

Follow our style tips for an effortlessly opulent look:

○  Pair textured separates such as a woollen sweater with a leather skirt to create an interesting contrast.
○  Play with proportion such as an oversized jumper and slimline pants or skirt.
○  For the ultimate sultry lip, use a berry shade and smudge the edges with your finger.
○  For a warm yet sexy look, try a fitted turtleneck under a slip dress.
○  Keep things high-end with a casual undertone by combining a pop of print with a luxe fabric, such as silk or leather.
