There are few things I love more in fashion than seeing two styles that are usually kept in separate realms or genres of clothing come together to form something altogether unexpected and incredibly satisfying to view. The ChloƩ Pre-Fall 2019 collection not only struck me with all of its crisp, gorgeous, 70s-inspired pieces that match my aesthetic perfectly, but also in the way that it so naturally paired prim, preppy charm with free-flowing, breezy boho beauty.
While the flowing, print-laden styles synonymous with bohemian fashion have never really piqued my interest, this collection made me realize that there is so much more you can do with it, like pair a flowing, printed dress with a structured blazer, or throw on a lush, velvet dress over a clean white blouse and slacks duo. There is so much playfulness and freedom in these combinations- including the rich juxtapositions of deep colors and lively prints- that it excites and delights the senses.
The details of these outfits weren’t lost on me, either. The tiny, box bags have so much charm paired with the snakeskin block-heel boots and fluttering neck bows. Some of my favorite looks included high-necked lace collars that may have enticed Shakespeare himself, which is what caught my attention in the first place.
Everything about this collection screams “eclectic,” which is exactly what we’re all about- new and exciting marriages of styles, thoughts, ideas, art forms- there is no limit to what we can create and I appreciate that this collection reminded me of that.
