L’initial: The Staples of the Moment

As we ease into the last quarter the year, it is the perfect time to edit your wardrobe and update it for the new season. Some styles have made it through the year and emerged as true staple pieces that you can wear over and over again — our latest L’initial collection renews them with tasteful touches.

Adding on to the iconic Gabine range, the signature asymmetrical buckle detail has been applied to classic Mary Janes. The buckles give the dainty silhouette a boldness that will work perfectly with both masculine and feminine styling — there are heeled and flat versions for all your wardrobe needs.

Sandals have evolved beyond being summer footwear — they can be worn all year-round. Platform options not only provide enhanced comfort, but also serves as a statement piece. The Caria leather platform sandals come in corduroy and furry checkered finishes, which will incorporate textural character into your ensembles.

This has been the year of flats — the comfortable, versatile style is an instinctive go-to. The effortless appeal of flats is best expressed in elevated iterations like loafer mules and slingbacks. They will polish up your outfits in an understated way, and work just as well with tailored pieces or casual denim. The geometric square embellishments also introduce shine to your outfits.

Some outfits call for leg-lengthening shoes, so boots and heels are a must. Ankle boots are a wearable silhouette that will provide extra warmth on the cold days, and the Jyll boots balance out the covered style with sculptural heels. The Jyll Mary Janes are a breathable alternative — the suede version will work perfectly with boho-chic aesthetics.

When it comes to styling layers, a sleek bag can help taper and sharpen the look. The Gabine range now includes an elongated design that is fitted with the signature buckle. It can be carried on the shoulder, or converted into a crossbody bag for hands-free ease.
