In the world of outfit-making, nothing commands attention quite like texture. Mixing tactile elements—think faux fur, denim, sequins, and studs—adds dimension to your look, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. If you're ready to elevate your wardrobe, here’s how to play with textures like a pro using fresh arrivals from Saint & Summer’s New In collection.
1. Start with a Soft Base
You want comfort, first and foremost—and nothing feels cosier than brushed fleece or a lightweight knit. The Breeze Long Sleeve Knit Top, crafted from premium wool-acrylic, is gorgeously soft and perfect for layering. Think tonal shades like oatmeal or ivory that set a gentle foundation for bolder textures.
2. Add a Bit of Edge with Denim or Leather
Denim is your go-to for everyday cool, but this season, we’re recommending faux leather or even tweed accents. Case in point: mix a classic black crew with pants, then finish with a structured Dame Houndstooth Tote or a patent-leather studded Sade Pump—both bold, tactile game-changers.
3. Go Wild with Animal Prints
Animal print is the easiest way to add texture and personality. Our Maraya Leopard Tote (in black or brown) and the vibrant Lenore Zebra Tote in orange bring luxury accents and functionality in one swoop. Carry them with a tonal base—like ivory knit or black fleece—to let the print do the talking.
4. Shine & Sparkle: Sequins and Glitter Sneaker Moments
Add a touch of glamour by pairing one bold accessory with sequins or sparkle. The Chiara Glitter Sneaker and Asante Tweed & Glitter Sneaker are proof that playful shimmer doesn’t need drama—instead, it adds a chic edge to athleisure moments.
5. Studs for Strength
If leopard is kitty and glitter is petal-soft, studs are edgy. The Aneira Studded Bucket Bag and Sade Studded Pump add a touch of rebellious rock-chic to every outfit—perfectly blended with a soft knit or crewneck fleece.
6. Finish with Layers: Faux Fur or Brushed Fleece
Wrap up your tactile story with cosy outerwear. A faux-fur bomber or buttery fleece hoodie is the cherry on top—think Ciao Fleece Hoodie or a luxurious statement cardigan layered over textured denim or sequins.
How to Mix It All Together
-
Start simple. Select one soft base, such as knit, fleece, or denim.
-
Add one bold element. A leopard print tote, studded pump, or glitter sneaker.
-
Tie the look together. With smaller accents, like a studded bag handle, glitter lining, or textured belt.
-
Balance is key. If you’re wearing loud print or sparkle, keep the rest of the outfit tonal and grounded.
