Left Bank Bohemian

Velvet Tailoring & The Silk Pussy-Bow

this Look is where the dandy meets the dreamer. This aesthetic centers on a mustard yellow velvet blazer—a piece that feels both luxurious and slightly lived-in. We’ve paired it with the quintessential silk pussy-bow blouse and high-waisted flares to capture that iconic 70s-meets-Sartre silhouette. It’s a bohemian look that trades "earthy" for "urban," favoring sharp lines and rich, scholarly textures.

Get the Look:

  • The Statement: A slim-fit, single-breasted blazer in a rich mustard yellow cotton velvet with wide lapels.
  • The Blouse: A cream silk crepe de chine blouse with an oversized bow at the neck and pleated cuffs.
  • The Denim: High-waisted, dark indigo wash flared jeans with a pressed crease down the front.
  • The Headwear: A slouchy black wool beret, worn tilted steeply to one side.
  • The Footwear: Square-toe ankle boots in a subtle brown snakeskin print for a touch of rock-and-roll texture.
  • The Accessories: Oversized tortoiseshell glasses and a vintage leather satchel filled with philosophy journals.
