Margaret Howell unbuttoned

Love a bit of wonky styling, and Margaret Howell delivered for her SS17 show. There was a little bit of a #Demnaeffect with the skewiff necklines (think Vetements’ pulled-off jackets) and I liked all the undone details – collars unbuttoned, half-tucked shirts, scarves akimbo. I particularly like the unbuttoned sweater over the shirt…

Prada did this all a while ago first (of course) but it seems to resonate more now in times of extreme uncertainty. I think the key to pulling this off if you’re not a pretty, leggy 21-year-old is to keep it simple, have one or two undone details, but keep everything high quality. I’ve never ironed anything, but increasingly I’m drawn to super-starched, ironed shirts and trousers, especially if I’m going to be tucking things haphazardly and rolling up sleeves etc. It’s all about balance…
