Imagine fabrics that float around the body, precise cuts that shape the silhouette, and contrasts that interact with each other. It is in this fusion of Sheer Fluidity —the aesthetic of translucent fabrics and ethereal movement—and Fluid Tailoring —tailoring reinterpreted with lightness and gesture—that a new, versatile and profoundly authentic interpretation is born.
The Encounter of Contrast
Here, stylistic counterpoint is the protagonist—no longer about imposition, but about subtlety that transforms and impacts. The result is a fashion that breaks formalities and creates bridges between distinct universes: the classic and the relaxed, the rigid and the fluid, the urban and the poetic.
More than a visual game, this contrast is a philosophy of style.
It's about dressing up sensations and transforming everyday life into a narrative.
Sheer Fluidity and Fluid Tailoring are no longer distant concepts, they have become real experiences—fabrics that breathe with the body, accompanying movement, desire, and attitude.
Sneakers and socks take center stage, proving that comfort and authenticity go hand in hand. Stripes and volume bring rhythm and precision, transforming each look into a harmonious and meaningful composition.
When Contrast and Movement Meet
Striped blazers and shirts take on a new life alongside balloon or tailored shorts.
The result is a fusion of opposites that balance each other in perfect harmony.
More than just combining pieces, it's about creating atmospheres — translating sensations and transforming clothing into a gesture of identity.
The impact is in the attitude: the look, the posture, the confidence. Every choice communicates a presence even before the words. Fashion, here, is living language.
Essential Pieces of the Look
Layers that meet:
The striped shirt carries the graphic rigor of tailoring, but gains lightness and fluidity. The balloon shorts, in satin fabric, inject movement and break predictability. The result is a silhouette that exudes contemporary flair.
The unexpected detail:
Socks are no longer supporting characters. White, translucent, or sporty, they guide the eye and add rhythm to the style—a nostalgic touch reinterpreted in a modern way.
The anchor point:
Retro sports sneakers with black stripes: Inspired by '80s gym classics, this style resurfaces with a rubber sole and white leather upper, balancing nostalgia with minimalism. The black side stripes provide graphic contrast and an urban attitude, making it ideal for updating outfits with a blazer or light tailoring.
Vintage sneakers with suede cutouts and olive green straps : With a vintage feel and iconic design, the style evokes Japanese retro sportswear, perfect for looks that blend classic references with satiny, fluid fabrics—a contrast of texture and movement.
Style Tips
Play with proportions:
A striped top—shirt or blazer—balances the flowy shorts. If you opt for a blazer, choose a blouse in the same fabric or shade as the shorts to maintain harmony and continuity. The contrast between straight lines and rounded volumes creates a bold and modern silhouette.
Use colors with purpose:
Neutral tones like brown, beige, and black give the stripes a prominent place, while the satin on the bottom adds lightness and sophistication.
It's about balance: sobriety on top, movement below.
Reinvent accessories:
Replace obvious bags with statement sneakers and white or off-white socks. The look gains rhythm and personality, updating the classic with ease.
Between the traditional and the contemporary:
Each piece reflects a self-reinventing fashion code—the sneakers, the socks, the cut of the blazer. Everything contributes to an aesthetic of conscious freedom and personal signature. Use your creativity!
How to Adapt the Trend to Different Body Shapes -
Triangular silhouette (more evident hips)
Balance volume with structured blazers and subtle shoulders. For a base, shorts or satin skirts with a flowing fit elongate and harmonize.
Inverted silhouette (broader shoulders)
Opt for straight-cut blazers with lightweight fabrics on the bottom. The movement of satin softens the top and creates a continuous line.
Oval silhouette (volume in the central region)
Invest in long blazers and V-necklines to elongate your silhouette. Flowy fabrics disguise the abdomen and add a touch of lightness.
Rectangular silhouette (little waist definition)
Create curves with thin belts over your blazer or fitted styles. High-waisted shorts and A-line skirts help balance out your proportions.
Hourglass silhouette (balanced shoulders and hips, defined waist)
Emphasize your natural waist. Fitted blazers and lightweight shorts reinforce the balance between structure and softness—a modern, elegant look.
