The dream piece aka Investment Piece. Top quality, modern, unagitated, eternally wearable, versatile and - very important: strong colour, here ORANGE. The Caban jacket by Dorothee Schumacher is such a favourite piece that you wear all the time and ask yourself: what did I actually wear BEFORE?
The looks:

Classic comes back, it is THE fashion theme. BUT: Classic must look modern and not well-behaved or even conventional. Therefore: strong colours and/or extravagant materials make the difference. Here we go. The favourite caban jacket with a colour-coordinated splash of colour sweater made of orange cashmere. Plus a stylish status bag with tassel. Crossbody hung up because it looks more casual, keyword leisure! Also a classic: the Chino pants made of sporty cotton. Relaxed cut. Trick: better buy one size larger, it looks cooler. Harmonious: the colour combination camel and orange. New, modern. And finally: comfortable pennyloafers. In luxurious reptile look. A small, noble exclamation mark.

Dress code... did someone say "dress code"? Something like: Blazer is mandatory here?! Exactly! The orange caban jacket is the new blazer. Serious, chic, but also a little different. A LITTLE. The wide back, the short, and of course the color. A counter-design to the well-behaved, simple short blazer. A statement that shows: I am creative. Courageous. Go ahead. That is the key to career success today. And yes, the Jeans Culottes that we have combined here is of course only an option on Casual Friday. Also the jeans bag. But hey, with the black pencil skirt we can imagine the caban jacket anyway?

It doesn't take much to glamorize classic. An elegant black pant, here with sexy leg slits, makes EVERY look chic. If then SUCH a top is added to it, the evening outfit is ready. Feathers! Extravagant and a bit frivolous. The top is open at the sides and only at the front is covered with feathers, so it fits under the JACKET without any problems. SO you can go to a round birthday, to the theatre or to an art vernissage. Additionally extravagant pumps and a small bag made of black satin.
