A Stylist’s Guide to Off-White
Off-White caught the fashion world off-guard. Don’t take our word for it though: Off-White officially ranked hottest fashion brand in the world during 2018’s third quarter in the Lyst Index beating Gucci to the top spot. Off-White regularly shows at Paris Fashion week with founder and CEO Virgil Abloh at the helm. Despite its undeniable appeal, that doesn’t necessarily mean you know how to wear it or what to wear it with. We’ve asked our resident luxury fashion stylists to guide you through a couple of looks.
Men’s Look by Alex
Off-White is a logo-heavy brand which creates a great base for a casual outfit. For the main focus of the outfit I’ve opted for the Off-White Striped Mona Lisa Shirt: a staple piece from the streetwear brand. Using key colours from a design is an easy way to coordinate the rest your outfit - I’d choose the Polo Ralph Lauren Custom Slim-Fit Cotton T-Shirt in red to match the print on the reverse of the shirt. For the bottom half of the look I have chosen the Off-White Black Logo Sweatpants (although these could easily be exchanged for jeans if sweatpants aren’t your thing) and I’d suggest a light, low-top sneaker like the Y-3 ZX Run Sneakers.
To accessorise I’ve played with the skull motif on the shirt and added a matching Alexander McQueen Divided Skull Pendant and, finally, the côte&ciel Isarau Bag for functionality.
Women’s Look by Dina
I’ve created two looks in one by working around one element: the Off-White Diag Leggings. These create the perfect foundation for both a daytime and evening look. For the more casual look, I went with something fashionable, but comfortable: an all-black base with a punch of colour from the Off-White Python Mini Binder Clip Bag. Basics like the Isabel Marant Étoile Kilianne T-Shirt and the Off-White Black Runner Sneakers are really versatile and great to have in your wardrobe arsenal.
When changing for the evening I’ve swapped the t-shirt for a Marcelo Burlon White Shirt Dress, and the sneakers for elegant Off-White Lace-Up Heels. Keep hold of the Python Mini Binder Clip Bag for this look as it works as well for the evening as it does for the day.
