Editor’s Guide: Mastering the Alemais Aesthetic
Alemais clothes are designed to be “forever pieces.” The magic lies in their versatility—bridging the gap between relaxed bohemian energy and structured high fashion.
1. The Wedding Guest Edit
Alemais is the gold standard for destination weddings. Look for their silk midi dresses or tiered linen gowns. The bold prints mean you need minimal jewelry—let the dress do the talking.
2. City-Ready Separates
Don’t reserve Alemais for the beach. Style their printed trousers with a crisp white tank and a blazer for a creative office look, or pair a signature Alemais shirt with denim.
3. The “Vacation” Uniform
For effortless travel style, opt for the brand’s shirt dresses. They double as beach cover-ups and chic evening tunics when cinched with a leather belt.
Sizing Guide: Alemais
Alemais follows Australian Sizing (AU), which typically translates as follows:
- The Fit: Generally true to size. However, because the brand uses natural fibres like linen (which has no stretch), structured bodice styles can feel firm.
- In-Between Sizes? If you are between sizes in a fitted linen dress, we recommend sizing up for comfort. For voluminous, tiered styles, you can often size down.
- Length: Alemais designs for a statuesque silhouette. Petite clients (under 5’3″) may need hemming for maxi styles, or should opt for the brand’s popular mini lengths.
