English Version | Layers of volume

03 Sep 2024
By Vogue Portugal

It's not unreasonable to say that overcoats are an ex-libris of the cold season: in a context made up of different temperatures throughout the day - from outdoors to indoors, from sun to rain, from the weather to the air conditioning, more than style, pragmatism forces this functionality on the closet.

For this autumn-winter, that requirement hasn't changed, but it has become more desirable in a play of volumes that not only combines form(s) and function, but also emphasizes creativity. To solve this conundrum about which layer comes first, you should know that this trend of layers comes with some flexibility and leeway for artistic direction, but to be as up-to-date as possible we advise you not to be afraid of playing with XXL silhouettes. Then you have to coordinate so that the bottom layers peek out a little throughout the look - vests over short sleeves, and short sleeves over long sleeves, for example. After all that strategy, who not want to show off the fruits of their ingenuity?
