Warm shades such as
red, orange and pink
were the most common
of these colours and
the ‘red coat’ became a
signature element of many
collections. Apart from
this, the pieces highlighted
several details such as
contrasting belts and utility
pockets, carefully placed
clash of solid and print
panels as well as bigger
embellishments like tassels
and pom-poms. The Milan Fashion Week
saw an extreme end of
this segment as casual
garments were given a
slight touch of crisp formal
lines. Painted in quirky
and bright prints such as
irregular stripes or large-
motif florals, conventional
pantsuit sets were
presented in various forms
– using shorter lengths of
the bottomwear especially
cycling shorts, without any
layer of shirts, hybrids of
shorts and pants, or chunky
satin blazers paired with
short shorts. They also
carried a set of techniques
signature to casual outfits
such as bright applique
work and splicing.
Twist of
Business
Outerwear
in Brilliants
major chunk of the
population is steered
towards casual comfort
rather than constricting
luxury that led to a revamp
of the business attires
and gave rise to business
casuals.
ummer trench coats,
light blazers, breezy
bombers have been
predicted for S/S’19 and
the runways of Milan saw
an outburst of colours
over this assortment of
outerwear. Either laced
with myriad of popping
prints or in bright and
eye-catching solids, long
outerwear pieces were
staged as the central piece
of the attire rather than a
complementing layer.
