Opposites Attract: A Guide to your Autumn Capsule Wardrobe

Sandro’s Masterclass in Blurring Boundaries this season…

The duality of women has long been a source of fascination; intrinsically feminine but powerful – unafraid to lean into masculine silhouettes and team them with ladylike essentials. Effortlessly comfortable in their own skin. Sandro’s Autumn/Winter 2023 pieces are a manifestation – and a celebration – of this intriguing dichotomy.

The Sandro woman this season is wearing lingerie with preppy, college-style pleated skirts that she’s rediscovered from her youth. She’s pairing cargo pants and suit jackets reminiscent of menswear silhouettes. And all this is, of course, in keeping with runway trends that echo the importance of structured tailoring, juxtaposed against second-skin bodysuits and leggings. There’s sophistication, yet sexiness, plus ease which embodies Sandro’s mission to capture: “couture spirit to wear every day”.

The studio continues to function on the crux of contradiction, with this extending to textures as shine meets matte, leather coats are coupled with satin and lace, and glittering rhinestones meet distressed denim. There are sudden surprises too – dark hues are lifted by tie-dyed scarves while pyjama sets are enlivened by a West Coast star motif. Looking to complete that essential capsule wardrobe? Sandro has definitely covered all your bases.
