The season of a thousand and one colors is here! Inspired by the dazzling beauty of nature, you'll want to create and wear this irresistable look in no time at all.
Prince of Wales fabric on a cargo cut, shades of refined beige, ribbed jersey with orange highlights: these warm hues create a relaxed yet assertive look, perfect for both a day at work and a weekend with friends.
The centerpiece of the silhouette, the cargo pants stand out with their modern look. As temperatures cool, we play with the art of tailoring (or layering). A fitted jersey sweater with ultra-feminine details pairs beautifully with a comfortable and trendy vest (or without, for those who prefer a more minimalist look). Instead of a trench coat, opt for a short and stylish jacket, cut from warm virgin wool and embellished with a chic maxi lapel.
When it comes to sewing, swap fine needles for thicker ones (80 and above) that are perfectly suited to these dense, cozy fabrics.
The finishing touches? A pair of Chelsea boots and a burgundy suede handbag to energize and enhance this feminine outfit with its warm accents.
The Trousers
Polyester Trousers 114 | Burda Style 09/25
British chic inspiration in cargo pants!
Two major trends come together in this design: the timeless Prince of Wales check pattern and the iconic cargo cut, recognizable by its flap pockets on the sides.
Worn below the waist, the pants feature a pronounced crease on each leg that emphasizes their elegant line while offering optimal comfort. The drape is impeccable, enhanced by a perfect check pattern, a detail that highlights the mastery of the cut.
Bonus detail: this style is presented in detail in your magazine. Numerous illustrations and details accompany the explanations of the three-point difficulty style.
The Sweater
Viscose Top 112 | Burda Style 10/21
A basic with a feminine touch!
With its fitted cut and ribbed knit, this sweater plays the minimalism card... until the sleeves get involved! Spectacular without being theatrical, they blossom into a controlled puffed volume, tightened by long, narrow cuffs that structure the whole look. The high collar frames the face with cozy elegance and reinforces the sophisticated aspect of the piece, while offering cozy comfort that's ideal for the season.
Fabric tip: choosing a medium-weight stretch ribbed jersey is essential for achieving a nice shape without adding bulk. A stretch stitch or serger will ensure a neat and durable finish.
The Vest
Fleece Waistcoat 112 | Burda Style 10/24
Worn open or buttoned up, this sleeveless vest adds structure to any silhouette. The round neckline and clean cut offer a sharp, structured line that's perfectly on trend.
The added bonus: it's easy to layer, as in our look, where it adds an extra touch of style without weighing down the silhouette. The patch flap pockets emphasize its urban spirit and utilitarian look.
In terms of sewing, this model is an excellent exercise in precision. It allows you to learn how to make piped flap pockets while remaining accessible to intermediate-level sewists. Choosing a soft wool fabric guarantees a flawless drape.
The Jacket
Wool Blouson 110 | Burda Style 10/25
A flattering and ultra-trendy piece!
With its deceptively casual look and structured cut, this cropped jacket is one of this season's must-haves. It boldly revisits the casual look, worn here with cargo pants for a perfectly balanced contrast. The wide collar lapels fall elegantly over the shoulders, adding structure and character to the silhouette.
The loose fit and cropped length lighten the line, while the refined double-breasted fastening creates a look that is both modern and sophisticated.
Note: the version shown here is made from a slightly fluffy ecru wool fabric, which highlights the generous lines of the collar and the structured volume.
