Comfort and style

The way we dress is generally determined by how we live and work. As COVID-19 alters day-to-day life for millions, we think it may leave its mark on fashion trends, and what we choose to wear. Stylist Louise Hilsz shares comfort and style - our new favourite trend right now.

VELOUR

The velour tracksuit is back and was trending way before this dreadful virus disrupted our lives.
It’s smooth, it’ plush and it’s the right amount of chic to covet when just like us the world working from home.

Loobie’s Story Elena coat, $429. Loobie’s Story Elena pant, $379. Loobie’s Story Gaudi shirt, $279. Meadowlark Sunset earrings, $2095. Deuce Greenwich sneaker, $170.

Sweepstake Winners Velour Jogging jacket, $149. Sweepstake Winners Velour jogging pants, $149. Checks Hustler Track jacket, $239. Checks Hustler track pants, $199.


CASHMERE

The biggest shifts in fashion have historically not come from runway trends but followed world events, just like the one we are living through right now. When it comes to lasting luxury, cashmere is a sensible, satisfying choice - it also happens to be the perfect way to lift your style mood from the comfort of your couch.

Pyjamas

We’re PJ fans, and right now, the temptation to stay in a pair all day long is strong. And as far as Hilsz goes it’s all okay; the pyjama suit has been trending on the runways across the globe for a couple of seasons now - so I guess it’s the perfect time to embrace this look as your cosiest staple.

LUXE SLIPPER

We're calling it: You can expect the sales of slippers to flourish, and not just as the ultimate stay-at-home shoe purely for comfort, and warmth, they are also this season's must-have style.

Gucci CC Canvas Princetown slippers, $1280. EMU Wrenlette slipper, $67. UGG Oh Yeah Slide, $140. Karl Lagerfeld Iconic slipper, $167.
