Outfit Recipe: Monogram Madness

Putting together outfits everyday is a lot like putting together dinner: you have a few key ingredients always on hand you want to use, but need to put them together in exciting ways to keep things interesting! In this series, we will show you how to spice up one of those basic ingredients you may already have in your closet .

Ever since Louis Vuitton perfected their signature monogram back in 1896, monogram prints incorporating luxury brand logos have been used on purses from all the major houses and high-end brands. In fact, they’ve become so ubiquitous it’s easy to view the patterns themselves as a neutral without taking the time to appreciate the accomplishment of design they are!

Often incorporated onto the design of coated canvas carry-all’s and crossbodies intended for daily use, these sweet bags get carried casually without ever getting to really shine as the statement pieces they are! The Louis Vuitton monogram in particular can get totally lost in the everyday chaos of choosing an outfit - meaning the luxury bag you invested so much in never really gets a chance to reach her full potential.

Revitalize the purse you carry everyday by following one of our outfit recipes below rafted specifically to show it off:

Let your luxury bag take center stage by surrounding it with high-quality basics like this Escada blazer paired with a Vince knit. The light denim of the high-end jeans keep it casual. The star of the show is, of course, our tiny Alma BB from Louis Vuitton!

Pick a print and play it up! We mixed a blend of various takes on animal print for this wild outfit grounded by a down-to-earth Louis Vuitton crossbody in the Speedy style. The sweater from Skull Cashmere mixed the chic cheetah print with their signature icon, while the satin Resolution skirt added a luxurious silken texture. We topped it off with comfy Rag & Bone sneakers with tiger stripes to keep the feline vibes going.
