Forget about layered or tight-fitting outfits, the best way to say goodbye to summer is with long blouses and capri pants. The sun rays that have bronzed your skin are starting to give way to the winds and cool rains that are going to change everything. But before you put away your fishermen or also known as pirate pants- it’s time for one last summer shout-out.
While Copenhagen‘s street style taught us to wear shorts with tight-fitting tops and garments, Spring-Summer 2024 fashion trends went for a much looser, less-fitted look. Brands like Blumarine and 3.1 Phillip Lim showed that XL blouses not only look amazing with flowing skirts but also with the star garment of the 2000s. A perfect combination to ornament the figure, feel comfortable and, of course, with a glamorous style that does not require more than two garments to shine.
If you thought capri pants were exclusive to teenage girls, let this trend inspire you to pull them out of the closet and look sophisticated from head to toe. Here’s the list that will help you adapt them to different styles that we keep seeing in the city, maybe you’ll find the piece you’ve always dreamed of.
Long blouse with peplum and diplomatic capri pants
If you’ve been keeping up with Vogue news, you’ll know that the peplum designs of the 2000s are planning to conquer the city streets. A proposal that firms like 3.1 Phillip Lim, Adam Lippes and Zimmermann showed in the Spring-Summer 2024 trending blouses list . The idea is to revive Y2K fashion, but with a more sophisticated and less conceptual air, how to achieve it? With long cut pieces or in XL size, brands like Alexander McQueen have several options that you can wear in an executive style with diplomatic capri pants and red pumps. The inspiration to unleash your inner office siren.
Long ribbed blouse with cut-out details and capri leggings
Whether you like it or not, Y2K styling is still in style and there’s nothing more 2000 than wearing long (fitted) blouses with pirate leggings. It can be in a one-tone look, as we’ve seen on Sandy Liang’s runways, or else, in blocks of color, the bet to stand out from miles away. Have fun in the process and invest in a design in vibrant tones with cut-out details, add the star pants and mules sandals to match.
Long pleated off-the-shoulder blouse with classic capri pants
You don’t need an LBD or a red midi dress to look spectacular, you can also build a distinctive outfit with long blouses and classic capri pants. The idea is to go for a pleated off-the-shoulder design in XL size, add tailored pants below the knees and pumps with laminated heels. All in the most elegant color par excellence, the ideal outfit to be the protagonist of an evening event or important engagement.
Long leopard blouse with bow and black capri leggings
Embrace a retro style inspired by 70’s fashion, or with Mob Wife notes that are instantly empowering. Just choose a long leopard print bow blouse, pair it with black capri leggings and Saint Laurent animal print heels. A wildly chic look that no one will be able to ignore.
Long strappy blouse with capri jeans
Just because you don’t wear heels doesn’t mean you lose style or give a misaligned look, effortless elegance will be your best ally to be well-dressed without spending hours in front of the mirror. Opt for a long strapless blouse in deep red by Proenza Schouler, the rest will be in adding capri jeans and ballerina shoes with a bracelet. This is a great option if you like to look dressed up but in a casual way.
Long halter neck floral print blouse and white capri pants
Yes, that long blouse with a boho aesthetic that we saw in look number 37 of Ferragamo’s Spring-Summer 2024 collection will be key to looking spectacular from day to night. Instead of combining it with a matching skirt, dare to mix it with white fluid capri pants and Hermès mules sandals. The idea is to project a bohemian-chic style that doesn’t fall into exaggeration and fits with the last days of summer.
Bicolour one-shoulder blouse and capri pants with bow at the hem
Look sophisticated and minimalist at the same time through long one-shoulder blouses in two-tone, tailored capri pants and strappy heeled sandals. If there is something that we must rescue from the street style of Milan and Paris is that the monochrome outfits are perfect to put together a look of quiet luxury, it’s all about the choice of pieces.
