When the season changes, so does your wardrobe. But don't panic, the trend for winter 2022-2023 is just a click away! The best friend of winter and rainy weather, the Pilou Pilou is becoming the flagship piece that will brighten up an overly dull winter look and warm up your days.
Our tips for adopting it
A key element of a look, the Pilou Pilou is what we call a statement piece. It alone can transform a basic and boring outfit into a very trendy look. Style effect guaranteed! If you don't know what to pair it with, or if you want new ideas, this article is for you.
To your closets! With a statement piece, we prefer solid colors to patterns. Gone are the preconceived notions that the Pilou Pilou is exclusively meant to be worn at home with a casual look.
This year, we fully embrace the idea of being chic and comfortable!
And for that, nothing could be simpler: we favor solid-colored pieces, which we all have in our wardrobes.
The advantage is that the Pilou Pilou goes with all your basics. You can opt for MOM jeans, the trend of the season, but also slim-fit, flared jeans, or even corduroy pants for the more daring. For mid-season, you can also pair it with a casual suede skirt, an A-line skirt, a skater skirt, or even the famous little black dress that's hanging in your closet. On top, nothing could be simpler: a nice blouse, a beautiful top, or a turtleneck that will help restructure the outfit and break the loose effect of your jacket.
And for your feet? Sneakers or "rock" style ankle boots depending on the weather and the occasion.
Regarding colors, the choice of the Pilou Pilou is crucial. The look will not be the same if you opt for a red Pilou coat or if you choose more neutral tones.
If your Pilou Pilou is an explosive color, it becomes an extra strong piece. We counterbalance with more neutral colors for the rest of the outfit, white, taupe, raw, gray, or black. If your Pilou Pilou is more neutral, you can dare to use color, provided you don't overdo it! We favor intense and cool colors, blue, green, purple... it all depends on your colorimetry.
With a statement piece, focus on accessories!
This year, we're focusing on "casual" accessories that will offset the Pilou Pilou, the statement piece of your outfit, as much as possible, without stealing the show.
For jewelry, we opt for silver or gold pendants and long necklaces, avoiding bright colors and overly imposing jewelry.
As for handbags, indulge yourself! A leather satchel, a large travel bag, a quilted or structured bag... anything goes.
