Off-Duty, Decoded
Any relaxed outfit can be called “off-duty.” But a great off-duty look? That takes some extra consideration and attention to the details. In our expertise, it starts with intentional tailoring, unexpected contrast, and a bit of playful color. Because effortless isn’t always accidental—it’s strategic. Ahead, explore three expert ways to make an off-duty ensemble sing.
LOOK 1
Complement with Opposites
When it comes to off-duty dressing, we take a sort of “business in the front, party in the back” approach. In short: It’s all about contrast. For instance, pair a relaxed, playful piece—like our silk Pull-Up pants—with something structured and timeless—like our Copain Blazer. Finish with loafers, a long necklace, and a relaxed leather tote for effortless cool-girl energy.
Styled with Chan Luu necklace, a Jimmy Choo handbag, and Alohas loafers.
LOOK 2
Opt for Oversized, Lightweight
Off-duty feels intentional and cool with a slightly oversized, undone piece. The easiest way pull it off? Light, breezy fabrics. Pair our Tailored Linen Skirt with a Sheer Blouse—bonus points if you size up for that relaxed, slouchy shape. Finish with leather flip-flops, a chic handbag, and slim sunglasses.
Styled with Jimmy Fairly Paris sunglasses, a Bottega Venta handbag and G.H. Bass sandals.
LOOK 3
Think Small
Think small: A great off-duty outfit sometimes needs a singular detail to seal the deal. Start with a strong base, like the Mini Scoop Neck Dress, everyday accessories, and insert one accent of color. In this case, a statement sock.Complete the look with a timeless shoulder bag and touch of silver jewelry.
