Swoon-Worthy Style From The Kooples

Updated on Fashion

Last summer, while we were on vacation in Paris, I popped into The Kooples. I kid you not, when I say I swooned. Okay, I didn’t actually faint, but I did feel a little light headed. Between the gorgeous floral dresses, buttery leather jackets and silk blouses, I was in fashion heaven. Until, of course, I realized that everything was regular priced and out of my budget. Sigh. Thankfully, The Kooples brand is available in the U.S. (as well as in Canada and the U.K), so I waited patiently for the collections to go on sale and bought this…

The Kooples Print That Made Me Love Red And Pink

The Kooples Floral Print Dress

A long time ago, I decided that red and hot pink did not belong together. Despite the many designers, models, and my 9 year old daughter showing me otherwise, I was not convinced. Until I met this print! I wanted to buy the blouse, wrap dress, and skirt but I ended up with the dress because I knew I would wear it most often.

This summer, I’ll wear this dress with nude or gold sandals. Later in the year, I’ll switch to black boots and a black jacket.

You can also find this dress on Amazon but note the different prices for the different sizes. Check their size chart to figure out if you are a size 1, 2, or 3.

A multicolored floral print is very versatile. For a bold look, pick accessories in bright colors. For a more subtle look choose darker or neutral colors

Other Wear Now And Later Prints

If pink and red just aren’t your colors, take a look at this hydrangea print, this butterfly print, and this floral print. They are all in colors that can be worn now and later in the fall.

The Kooples’ site has all of these pieces in stock and on sale, but you may also find them at your local Bloomingdales.

Now that I’m starting to shop for fall pre-season pieces, I’m keeping an eye out on this blue floral Silk Formal Skirt and this Silk Long Printed Dress.

Have you ever found a brand that made you swoon?!

    That’s a really beautiful dress and looks great on you. I was not familiar with this brand so I’m glad you introduced them to me.

      Hi Julie, Thank you! It’s a little bold (the print and the style) for me but I’m stepping out of my comfort zone! xo Nipa
