Dark colors were prevalent throughout Saint Laurent’s spring line, and this look proves that a monochromatic outfit can be a chic and fashion-forward choice. The military-style jacket and cigarette pants create a streamlined and polished vibe, while the oversized bow found on the printed blouse creates volume and interest.
