The Street Style Edit
Much like luxury consignment, the power of street style has exploded in recent years. Consignors, it’s time to look to the world’s coolest style capitals both on and off the runway for inspiration. Whether you’re in search of the next cult handbag or the best Instagram worthy ensembles, CSD’s Street Style Edit is not to be skipped. There's something undeniably magnetic about sifting through the paparazzi-style shots of Parisian darlings or the glitterati gathering outside at fashion week that ignites a fashion flame like no other. Not only can we relate to the mundane surroundings of a cafe or boutique, we can see ourselves in the ordinary statue of the average Joe without the distractions of model proportions or the unwearable couture we'd often see in glossy magazines. What was once thought of as a happy accident, casual street style looks are curated with as much thought as an editorial spread as they claim one of the top spots on Google searches. Create your everyday street style outfit here with our capsule wardrobe edit.
The Coat
Arguably one of the most coveted pieces in our wardrobe, whatever the season, the right coat or jacket is a pinnacle focal point in street style fashion. Whether it's a trench coat in spring (like this classic from Miu Miu), a puffer in winter or a blazer in autumn (this multi-seasonal Emilio Pucci design is perfect), the right cover-up can make or break an outfit.
The Trousers
We're seeing a real shift in trouser silhouettes lately as we move away from skinny fits to more androgynous, slouchy alternatives. Taking inspiration from typical Parisian street style, the tailored slack (seen here from Isabel Marant) is a firm favourite paired with chunky-heeled sandals or the latest designer sneakers and a boxy oversized blazer to complete the look.
The Shoes
Unless you're Carrie Bradshaw, navigating the practical side of street style is always tricky in heels. Nonetheless, these Ralph and Russo sandals can easily take your outfit from the boardroom to the bar and make for a fierce mid-stomp Instagram shot. For the more practical among us, sneakers are an equally stylish choice. From Louis Vuitton's Archlight's to Gucci's logo plimsoll, preloved designer kicks can be as iconic on the street as a collectable tote.
The Accessories
No street style look is complete without killer accessories. A chic and affordable way to elevate your outfit, logo baseball caps and discreet designer belts are having an impactful renaissance in street style. Cementing the off-duty nonchalance of everyday outfits, pair our Balenciaga cap with a cosy jogger set and Chanel trainers for a stylish coffee run outfit.
