While perfectly crisp pleats may be making a splash on the runways and the sidewalks this season, the look of effortlessly crinkled fabrics is also en vogue. If you’re looking to adapt this laidback trend and bring it into your own wardrobe, try turning to the Spring/Summer 2016 catwalks for your sartorial inspiration. Whether you want to revive your style for daytime or the evening hours, here are a few gorgeous ways to rock the crumpled look now.

Casual Chic

If you’re heading out for lunch with your friends, draw your sartorial inspiration from the Victoria Beckham runway. Try slipping into a sleeveless silvery white frock, adorned with haphazard crinkled detail. For a finishing touch, a striking blue belt placed strategically around the hips and a thigh-high slit can complete your look. Style your dress with a pair of slip-on white loafers, and prepare to embrace a casual chic vibe.

Work Wear

While crinkled fabrics may not seem work appropriate if your go-to look is perfectly polished, you can always follow the aesthetic from the Altuzarra runway. Step out in a beige or sand-coloured jumpsuit, with flared trousers and delicate cap sleeves. Meanwhile, gleaming metallic buttons and a waist-cinching thin belt help to wrap up your trendy corporate style.

Evening

To bring the crumpled trend into the evening hours, try rocking a chic sleeveless frock in a burnt orange hue (as spotted at Nina Ricci). The look of crinkled detail brings a carelessly sexy effect to your sartorial statement, while a flirty above-the-knee hemline can showcase your stems. Style your crinkled frock with a beaded metallic necklace and strappy black sandals, and prepare to dance the night away.
