Functioning almost as a surface texture, this soft-grid aesthetic brings an elevated, timeless feel to summer collections.

From wrap tailoring to utilitarian references, Content Editor Maria Veríssimo highlights tie-details arriving to refresh the season’s coats and blazers. Whether featuring voluminous bows or thin, discreet sashes, this detail ensures a cinched waist with a graphic, ultra-modern touch.

It presents an interesting alternative to update classic silhouettes without completely altering the patternmaking, creating new focal points through a construction detail, especially within updated tailoring.

Check out the references in the carousel and save this post for your next product development cycle!
