How to Style Jacquemus: An Editor’s Guide From Coast to City

Jacquemus is one of the easiest houses to wear and one of the easiest to overstyle. The cut carries the look, so your job is mostly to stay out of its way. Here is how we approach it at Luxury Shoes , by piece and by occasion.

Start with the silhouette, add one detail

The house works on proportion. A fitted bodice against a flared skirt, a high waist against a long leg, a bare shoulder against a covered one. Pick the line first, then add a single detail and stop. A curved heel, an oversized sunglass, one fine gold chain. When a Jacquemus look goes wrong, it is almost always because there is too much on top of it.

The dresses

The cotton-poplin dresses are the heart of the collection. A piece like the Agave in black wants bare, sun-warmed skin and a flat leather sandal by day, then a pointed slingback after dark. For the draped jersey styles, keep jewellery to a minimum and let the fabric move. A midi such as the Nodo in navy carries a summer wedding on its own, with a small clutch and heeled sandals.

The separates

The tailored trousers sit high and long. Tuck in a slim knit to hold the proportion, and finish with a heel that disappears under the hem. The logo knits and cardigans are cut a touch relaxed, so pair them with something narrow below, a slim skirt from the skirts edit and a straight trouser. For the tops and shirts, leave a button open and let the collar sit soft.

By occasion

Resort and holiday. This is Jacquemus’s home ground. A poplin dress, a woven flat, a straw tote, and very little else. The palette does the work.

A summer wedding. Reach for a fluid midi in a warm shade, a heeled sandal, and a compact bag. The house reads celebratory without shouting, which is exactly what a wedding guest wants.

City day to evening. Trousers and a fine knit for the day, then swap the flat for a mule and add the gold cuff for dinner. Nothing else needs to change.

Care, so it lasts

Most Jacquemus tailoring and jersey is dry clean only. The cotton pieces take a gentle cold wash where the label allows. Store on a padded hanger away from direct sunlight to hold the silhouette. For sizing, the house runs close to the body, so size up if you prefer ease. Our brand page carries a full UK to EU conversion table.

Frequently asked questions

How should I style a Jacquemus dress?

Keep it simple. Bare skin and a flat sandal by day, a heeled sandal and one gold accessory by night. Let the cut lead and avoid layering over it.

Is Jacquemus good for a wedding guest?

Yes. A fluid midi in a warm shade with heeled sandals and a small clutch reads celebratory and comfortable, which suits a long wedding day.

Does Jacquemus run true to size?

The tailoring runs close to the body. Take your usual size and size up only if you want more ease through the bust and hip.
