Into The Blue Collection from & Other Stories
There’s something quietly mesmerising about the right shade of blue. It’s breezy without being saccharine, soft without losing presence – and this season, & Other Stories has captured that magic in a capsule that feels as fresh as sea spray. Their new summer collection, awash in soft sky tones, watery prints and tactile textures, brings together languid shapes and clean designs in a way that only this label manages to pull off.
From dresses cut on the bias to pointelle knits that skim the body like a sea breeze, this edit speaks to women who dress with intent but never try too hard. It’s a masterclass in understated sensuality and warm-weather confidence. Consider this your summer muse.
Designs That Speak Volumes
This floor-sweeping dress skims the body with quiet elegance, its layered ruffles catching light and movement with every step. The sky-blue tone is pure escapism – a ready-made moment for golden hour.
