From catwalk chic to credit card friendly alternatives.
In each edition of Glamial, we are inspired by the most beautiful looks on the catwalk for the season. If your bank account is not quite couture-proof: we list the best designer-inspired alternatives and share our favorite style tips.
Earth
British label Erdem is described as romantic, with great attention to detail and an abundance of floral prints. Designer Erdem Moralioğlu suggests that this summer you should go for the super chic combination of a fitted pencil skirt with a striking oversized coat.
The look we’re inspired by this time around is this work of art from this year’s Spring/Summer collection, which the label showed last year during London Fashion Week.
Top of the Bill
For our top of the bill outfit, we pair the Erdem coat with a timeless white blouse and cream accessories. The asymmetrical earrings are as romantic as they are on trend.

Look for contrast
The trick to creating an interesting look is contrast. In the case of our Erdem look: a skirt and jacket with a lot of fuss, combined with a very clean and crisp white shirt. By then matching the color of your shirt with your shoes, you create a perfect balance.
The bigger the better
Buy your coat a size bigger. That will give your whole appearance a more fashionable look in one go. And what’s more, you can also wear your coat after the summer season with a thick sweater underneath.
Asymmetry is allowed
Consider wearing two different earrings instead of a set. Especially if you like to wear your hair up, this is a quick styling trick that always turns heads.
