In the time of Chimpanzees I was a monkey shirt

Product Description

But best of all In the time of Chimpanzees I was a monkey shirt of course, is to look in your own wardrobe. Besides, the first florals of spring are tempered, for practical reasons, with the safety-net layers necessary on days when a flimsy dress isn’t going to see you through. An optimistic outlook is to be commended, but leaving the house in a dress and sandals at this point in the year is pure folly. So your spring look is only partly about the floral dress itself, and partly about what you wear with it. The extra layer should be something that adds chic, not one that kills the look. So it is worth putting a little thought into the outfit as a whole instead of just putting on a dress and then, when you get cold, grabbing a random cardigan. Did you buy a sleeveless knit this winter? A tank top, or a crew neck without sleeves, or a button-through knit waistcoat? This is a newish wardrobe item for me, and for lots of us, I think. It was great in the winter: I wore mine over shirts, because you feel like you are wearing a jumper (warm and cosy) but you present to the world as wearing a shirt (crisp and dynamic). As the weather turns, a sleeveless knit is a great partner for your floral dresses. Not only does it turn a holiday-weight dress into a spring-appropriate outfit, it also gives that outfit a fashion point of view, because the sleeveless knit is very much A Thing, and therefore earmarks the wearer as someone who knows about such things. If your sleeveless knit is neutral-toned, it is also a useful way of watering down the visual impact of a print that feels a little too loud or hectic for the office.

In the grid of product In the time of Chimpanzees I was a monkey shirt listings, a yellow rectangle indicates if a product is trending: “Trending-Plazacore”, “Trending-Western”, “Trending-Mermaidcore”, and “Trending-Y2K” tags all appear in the new arrivals. “Plazacore” is blazers and faux-tweed in pastels and beige. “Mermaidcore” means a pile up of sequins and glitter. “Western” brings up fringe jackets and bustier tops, fake leather cowboy boots and leopard-print silk blouses. The collection is unimpressive in small doses but starts feeling remarkable as you click through the pages. If I search the word “trending”, there are 4,800 items labelled with trends I’ve never heard of even after a decade-plus of closely following fashion blogs and Instagram accounts: Bikercore, Dopamine Dressing, RomCom Core, Bloke Core.
