Style Notes

Venice Biennale Essentials

Our style travels across the art world continue, landing in the lagoon of Venice where the 15th edition of the famed Biennale exhibition is set to begin. From May 28th to November 27th, visitors will be able to admire the works of 88 participants from 37 countries. This bi-annual event is also a chance to explore the venue’s nearby gardens (created by Napoleon Bonaparte) and the Arsenal (a former complex of shipyards and armories that now house Biennale exhibits) alongside the city’s mainstay attractions for a truly unique experience of Venice.

Given this year’s exhibition is dedicated to architecture, the packing list is duly inspired, featuring well-defined lines and innovative geometric shapes that come together for a refined and contemporary aesthetic. Practicality is key as Venice is a place to be explored by foot. Our essentials include classic 5-pocket jeans – a classic among casual pants – a button-up shirt and sweater with distinctive contrasting details. These can be mixed and matched to create several different looks, finished off with an elegant pair of monk straps orsneakers.
