Prada Mary Jane Flat

WHY IT WORKS

The Loewe Top (ivory, boxy crop, point collar) over the black skirt with the Prada White Mary Jane. The white echoes the top, the gold buckle echoes the warmth of the bow detail. The dramatic black skirt is the undisputed statement and everything else is in clean service. The Prada flat grounds both top variations more cleanly by removing register rather than adding to it. Most balanced and most wearable of the four combinations.

THE TENSION

Skirt's volume and formality vs. top's relaxed tailoring and flat's effortlessness
