Escaping boredom can become a difficult task when your fetish garments are basics that you opt for on a daily basis. However, Dakota Johnson has given us a real lesson on how to make the most of these garments without giving up your own style and with a lot of personality. Her bet focuses on three key pieces: straight jeans inspired by the nineties, a black knitted top and a suede blazer.

The result is a look as functional as it is sophisticated, perfect for the mid-season and with that effortless air that characterises Dakota so perfectly.

She opted for straight-cut jeans in a light wash that combined with a round neckline top in knitted fabric with a sheer vibe. The jeans in question, straight-cut jeans from the 90s – a Levi’s 501 could be the ideal choice – are not only back, but they are the perfect wildcard to dress well at all times.

This style of denim works with everything at all times, from a more formal event combined with heels, to something more casual by combining them with trainers. In her case, Dakota paired them with a black top that served as the perfect base to complement the look.

Dakota Johnson’s penchant for suede pieces has been present on numerous occasions – particularly when it comes to her handbag choices – and here she opted for a suede jacket in almost mustard brown with large lapels and black buttons that overlapped the top. This was what really elevated the look. Dakota opted for a suede blazer in a mustard brown shade with large lapels and black buttons, which added depth and texture to the ensemble. The retro feel of this material fits perfectly with both her casual style and the season.

Finally, Johnson chose accessories with nostalgic tints to complement the look, specifically black pumps with a closed neckline and a pair of Celine metal glasses, proving that you don’t need to dress with stridency to stand out. It is enough to choose well, to understand which cuts are flattering and how to combine textures without being overloaded. In short, a classic look, with a nostalgic touch and a je ne sais quoi that makes it tremendously chic.
