Styling The OUT OF THE BLUE Capsule

Helen McAlinden’s AW25 OUT OF THE BLUE capsule is a masterclass in timeless layering. Built around an elegant navy and latte palette, every piece is designed to mix and match effortlessly, refined enough for city meetings, soft enough for weekend ease. Here’s how to style the key looks this season.

Smart layering begins with texture. Pair the Classic Oxford Blue Shirt under the Carly Navy Cashmere Crew Neck Sweater for a polished yet relaxed daytime look. Add the Jill Light Beige Trousers or Georgiana Navy Trousers to keep the silhouette clean. Finish with loafers and a structured coat. The Penelope Navy Peacoat works perfectly here.

For an elegant alternative to the classic shirt, the Ciara Cowl Navy Top brings a soft drape that sits beautifully under tailoring. Try it beneath the Darcie Navy Jacket or Marlow Light Beige Jacket for a fluid, modern suit. A pointed heel or minimal trainer keeps the look contemporary.

Cashmere takes centre stage this season. The Latte Cashmere Travel Wrap, Marlena Latte Cashmere Vest, and Greta Latte Cardigan are designed to layer luxuriously. Drape the wrap over the Eabha Navy & Ivory Print Dress for events, or wear the vest tucked into the Peyton Navy Skirt for effortless day-to-night style. The result feels soft, tonal, and quietly confident.

For occasion dressing, navy silk takes on new fluidity. The Carmin Navy Dress offers modern movement through its asymmetric hem. Style with neutral heels and minimal jewellery for understated drama. The Berna Navy Blouse and Peyton Navy Skirt echo this satin sheen when worn together, creating a sleek co-ord that transitions from dinner to drinks.

Outerwear completes the story. The Scarlett Navy Coat brings a sweeping, feminine shape that layers effortlessly over dresses, while the Beryl Navy Coat is a tailored classic that sharpens any look. For something shorter, the Cassandra Navy Bouclé Jacket adds Parisian texture, elevating jeans or trousers alike.

Finally, pattern punctuates the capsule. The moonlit Viola Navy & Ivory Print Blouse and Eabha Navy & Ivory Print Dress introduce subtle movement against solid navy tailoring. Keep accessories minimal to let the print speak for itself.

This collection proves that luxury doesn’t need excess. With a few well-chosen pieces, a soft cashmere knit, a structured jacket, a fluid dress, your wardrobe becomes a seasonless edit of wearable sophistication.
