Collection: WHITE CHIC

The WHITE CHIC look

Shirts set the tone. The Bach Khue Cowl Shirt is a straight blouse with a draped cowl neck and cuffed long sleeves; the Hong Yen Bishop Sleeve Shirt is a blouson with a V-neck and gathered sleeves; the Van Truc Pin Tuck Shirt pairs fine pin tucks with a mandarin collar and bishop sleeves, and the Luu Ly Mandarin Shirt keeps the collar without the volume. Skirts are pencil or A-line: the Moc Thanh Pleated Skirt is a structured pencil with pleats and a metal detail, and the Daria A-line Knife-Pleated Wool Blend Maxi Skirt is the long version.

Tailoring comes in matched groups. The Zelda Straight Flap Pocket Wool Blend Blazer, the Zelda Straight Sleeveless Wool Blend Vest and the Zelda Pencil Back Slit Wool Blend Maxi Skirt make a three-piece; the Sadie Straight Peak Lapel Twinkle Taffeta Blazer and the Sadie Straight Front Zipper Twinkle Taffeta Maxi Pants bring shine; the Naomi Straight Wide Leg Wool Blend Maxi Pants and the Avery Straight Double Breasted Linen Jacket cover the relaxed end. Dresses are few: the Luc Van Boat Neck Midi Dress and the Uyen Van Pleated Midi Dress. Grey, blue, white and black are the palette.

Capsules and separates

Three capsules are browsable on their own: Rhythm of Life Collection - WHITE CHIC, Dreamlike Collection - WHITE CHIC and Cadence Code Collection - WHITE CHIC. Pieces that share a name (Thanh Diem, Diep Truc, Yen Lam, Ngoc Khue) are cut as pairs. The floral brooches, including the Thanh Nha Floral Brooch and the Suong Mai Floral Brooch, are meant to sit on a lapel or collar. Browse all tops and skirts at MEAN BLVD to mix with other labels.

When to wear it

WHITE CHIC is bought for work and public occasions first, then Women's Day, anniversaries, birthdays, vacations and wedding guest events. Long sleeves, mandarin collars, maxi skirts and full-length pants are the norm, so Gulf shoppers get covered, tailored outfits without compromise; the Manh V-Neck Trench Coat adds a layer for air-conditioned offices.

How does WHITE CHIC fit?

Shirts are straight or blouson with room through the body and volume in the sleeve; blazers are structured with little ease; pencil skirts follow the hip. Wool blend and twill have no stretch, so follow the size chart on each product page and size a suit by the blazer.

How should I style it?

Tuck a pin tuck shirt into a pencil skirt and add one brooch at the collar. Wear the Zelda three-piece as a suit, or the vest alone over a white shirt.
