Let’s just be clear: There is nothing basic about this trend. Au contraire, everyday essentials were rendered in the most luxurious fabrications on the Fall/Winter 2023 runways, such as the leather blue “jeans” at Bottega Veneta, and the shearling tank top at Loewe. The departure of Alessandro Michele at Gucci saw a surprising deviation from the house’s usual kitsch and opulence in favour of a collection of chic staples comprising wide-legged jeans, oversized blazers and button-down shirts. No fuss, no drama – just simple and posh pieces.
