The Elegant Top Fashion People are Wearing With Jeans and Trousers to Look Rich
There are many trends resurfacing today that we have Tom Ford to thank for: plunging necklines, sharp tailoring, and cleverly placed hardware, just to name a few. The designer's unapologetic sex appeal, especially during his iconic reign at Gucci during the mid 1990s and early 2000s, set the stage for an attitude that continues to be replicated and interpreted today. In fact, one such item spiking in popularity more than any other right now and it's the return of the satin shirt.
Thirty years on from the Gucci fall/winter 1995 collection that the shirts first showed in, I've noticed a rise in outfits featuring similar styles. The It girls of the moment—including Hailey Bieber and Elsa Hosk—are tapping into the same energy and styling these lustrous silk shirts as going-out tops with just one or two of the buttons fastened to maximize the Tom Ford energy.
