MK x ellesse

It’s all about those matching sets and for good reason – head-to-toe looks create such a refined, put-together feel; something sleek and always style forward. Especially with MK x ellesse.

The MK x ellesse collab is all about colourful stripes. Featuring a whole line of winter gear from hats and mittens to puffers and wool sweaters, the collection is absolutely brilliant – and I mean that in the brightest way.

The Stretch Viscose legging is warm enough for those ski days and cozy enough to hang around in as you traipse around the city. Designed with renowned Italian sport-luxe brand Ellesse, the leggings are chic paired with the matching sweater and in my opinion, are eye-catching, even in the naviest of blues.

Perfect with the street-to-ski sweater, the cotton blend hoodie is probably my fave winter grab. Ribbed, colourful, and texturally interesting, the relaxed fit makes it a great layering piece to go with jeans, leggings, open jackets (so everyone can see), and of course, knowing me, I’ll probably pop this one into spring over jean shorts!

Matching goes a long way, especially when it head to toe. My beanie, the ribbed merino wool hat, is the essential this winter. I nabbed the full orange, but the one linked here is the striped one to match the full outfit. Crafted from pure, mid-weight merino wool and the coziest snug fit, I also love to pair it with the matching mittens.

Finally, the shoes, or trainers as MK x ellesse calls them one-of-a-kind Monroe trainers, these sneaks make any outfit feel sporty. Comfortable and super stylish, I’d say they are more of a summer or spring shoe given our winter wonderland, but you know what? On a clean day, I love breaking out my kicks!

Completing a look with a full monochrome or a colour that comes through each piece is what creates balance. It gives the eye a clear path to follow and elongates the silhouette. MK x Ellesse figured it out and delivered in spades. I am so fawning over these looks, ammi right?
