We love a good throw-on-and-go style, the kind of piece that looks great with pretty much anything and makes getting ready in the morning a lot easier. Our utility styles are designed to do exactly that, offering maximum style for minimum effort. We're sold!
We called on one of our #KITRIgirls Julia Safe, Queen of utility and fellow jumpsuit enthusiast, to style some of her favourites pieces.
"Boilersuits and jumpsuits have been my go-to for years, so I jumped at the chance to shoot KITRI's utility styles in some fun, tongue in cheek locations. Mechanic chic anyone?!"
I have a penchant for shopping, interiors and art, and am a self-confessed cat lady and proud. On my Instagram account @juliaindisguise I share my personal style, fashion and beauty favourites and my new home renovations. I tend to wear whatever makes me feel really excited when I put it on. This means that my style can change from day to day, but I know what styles and cuts suit me best.
Jule Chambray Boiler Suit
For this shoot I styled one of my favourite pieces - the boilersuit! I absolutely love this style of clothing because it's so versatile and can easily be dressed up with a pair of heels and a smart jacket or dressed down with some chunky trainers and a roll neck. I adore retro styling, especially taken from the '60s and '70s in particular which I’m heavily influenced by. I'll often add a beret or bakerboy hat to really complete the look.
Jumpsuits have been my go-to for years and my favourite way of styling them is with ankle boots and a slim turtleneck knit underneath, which I like to mix up with colours and patterns to add a little more interest to the outfit. I paired a striped turtleneck underneath the Monica Red Tailored Jumpsuit and love how the jumpsuit makes the red stripes pop.
Denise Utility Trousers, Giulia Cream Cable Knit Jumper
The utilitarian trend isn't limited to all-in-ones, as these utility trousers have proven. I'm a big fan of the flattering high-waist and the oversized pockets. I love that they can be paired with different boots; yellow for when I'm feeling brave and leopard print for when I want to keep the tones neutral.
I love the '70s feel of the Blanca Utility Jumpsuit. It's the perfect throw-it-on-and-go style, flattering contrast stitching and the option of cinching my waist in with the belt. I've paired mine with white boots and a pair of sunnies for those perfect crisp days.
Get the look...
