WARDROBE ESSENTIALS: THE SLOGAN TOP

Parisian design house Maison Labiche upgrades love-forever basics with its signature hand-stitched slogans. Their all-over-Instagram tees, Breton striped tops and sweatshirts are infused with a lighthearted whimsy and playful tongue-in-cheek. Knitwear label Chinti & Parker is another go-to for similarly laid-back looks that slot into your capsule wardrobe with ease. Looking for an international flavour? Spell out sweet nothings embroidered in French or Italian. For a failsafe outfit formula, we’re opting for slouchy boyfriend jeans and box fresh trainers, conversely, you can counterbalance delicate details with a hard-wearing leather biker jacket and boots.

Graphical printed slogans and logo tees let your everyday looks shout loud; look out for sequinned appliqués and colourful preppy lettering from the likes of Uzma Bozai, Sundry and South Parade. Get experimental and style out a juxtaposition by choosing ditsy floral counterparts and feminine silhouettes. A wrapped midi skirt and elegant heels take these statement-making looks into street style territory, while pairing with head-to-toe tailoring will enliven your office attire.
