Add a Resort Touch with Accessories!
“A wardrobe for women who grow more charming with age”—This is the concept behind Drawer. The coordinates introduced here are recommended for this season as emotional pieces that women will cherish like treasures, even though they are the latest creations.
“We've paired relaxed, wide-leg work pants with this season's resort-inspired accessories,” says buyer Yuko Kawahara. The ensemble features a sleeveless top from Drawer's original collection, adorned with ruffles on the cuffs and a ribbon at the back, paired with equally original Drawer cropped pants in a fresh workwear style.
When asked about the styling points, she explained, “It's about coordinating with colorful accessories. Here, I've used vibrant green wedge sandals from Gianvito Rossi, which evoke a summery feel, and jewelry from Alissa Norton, such as necklaces and bracelets, as accents. A Panama hat is also essential for a summer resort look.”
As for other must-have items, she added, “A colorful stole is very useful to have.”
Drawer's coordinated style, which achieves both femininity and a relaxed mood simultaneously, is definitely worth taking inspiration from.
