And then there is the Belgian designer Marie Adam-Leenaerdt, which proposes them as a point of balance between rigor and naturalness: grey, from the straight cut and from impeccable construction, perfect with thick pullovers and oversized accessories. The result is a sober but very powerful aestheticwhere a few items make up a look with a thousand uses.
How to combine them, always different, always the same
On the catwalk, Marie Adam-Leenaerdt’s wool trousers are accompanied by a navy blue sweater with a turtleneck and front zip, with deliberately large proportions. A combination that plays on contrasts: the softness of wool meets the structure of knitwear technical, while the optical white of the maxi bag breaks up the neutral palette with elegance.
Wool trousers and a zip-up sweater, the outfit of the moment.
To replicate the lookjust start from the same styling rules. Above, choose a turtleneck sweater or sweatshirt and dropped shoulders, preferably in deep shades such as blue, anthracite gray or forest green. Under, the trousers must hang straightjust above the shoe, without excessive creases.
At your feet, go ahead moccasins polishes, ankle boots or low pumps, to keep the profile clean. Avoid too small volumes or light fabrics: the effect would lose its visual force.
