Utilitarianism has been hitting the runways for a few seasons now and it’s hard to argue against the practicality of these trends. Items like cargo pants, coveralls, functional handbags, and comfortable footwear are all included in neutral hues like khaki, olive green, and brown.
Looser silhouettes and easy fabrics contribute to an aesthetic epitomizing sensible, elevated dressing. Designers like Miu Miu, Hermés, and Ferragamo are just a few examples of houses that brought utilitarian workwear, pocket details, and functional footwear to the S/S 23 runways. Although there is a slew of dreamy designer options, I’ve found that Everlane is a one-stop shop for amazing modern pieces that fit this aesthetic. Everything from boxy shirting to relaxed linen, to leather accessories are at the ready, and for a fraction of the cost.
The 30 pieces below are perfect for nailing this practical aesthetic, plus tons of timeless basics included.
