Styling approach
Romantics tend to suit silhouettes that move with the body rather than constraining it. Softness, drape and feminine detail often feel most natural, while overly sharp or stiff pieces can feel out of step.
Common misconceptions
Romantic does not mean frilly or exclusively pink. Romantics can dress in deep, bold colours and rich fabrics while keeping the underlying softness and flow of their silhouettes.
