MASSIMO DUTTI: My top 5 products of the week

Taking into consideration the fact, that at the present moment I`m working for Massimo Dutti in UK, I thought it would be nice to show a little bit of commitment & appreciation  to the brand and start a weekly (or a monthly as I`ll see how it goes))  column: My Top 5 Products Of The Week, especially because there are really plenty of beautiful pieces (and now I`m tellin` that not as an employee, but just simply as an individual! )) .

I`ve discovered Massimo Dutti as a customer yet while I was living in Riga and I remember that my first impressions were highly positive: stylish & elegant clothes for affordable prices, made from good quality fabrics, and, as we all like to say "with all love", -  I wonder who wouldn`t like that?

That time I`ve tried this printed T-shirt (well you already know about my "love for prints" :), which made a wonderful duet with my khaki shades.

But at that time I didn`t know about this brand anything in particular yet. And if someone would have told me that I`m gonna be working in a fashion retail industry I would hardly believe that person! 

However now it`s not about my work or how dramatically my life has changed (in a good meaning of it) during the last couple of months :)

As this post is is about My Top 5 Products Of The Week, the list of my personal favorites, in other words, things, that I`d like to buy (or, in some cases, - have already bought)!

 So, my first place goes to ...

GASSED COTTON SWEATER WITH DOUBLE COLLAR

 

I knew that it`s gonna suit me as long as I notice it on the shop floor. It`s absolutely plain (which is good, as you`ll have enough space for accessories; and I bet it`ll work lovely with pearls), with only double collar detail that looks slightly cropped in life.

The fabric is 100% cotton, very soft to the touch. The structure, or, if you wish, the style of this top is very nice as you can choose the way you want it to look; let me explain now:
if you prefer it to be slightly more loose  (like on the model on the picture above) >> go for a bigger size (probably it might work if you`re tall & slim, as it will also be longer) or
if you like it to be more well-fitted, with length till the waist - choose a smaller option (that`s what I did, and what I`d recommend for short and not big girls, like me).

But what attracted me most of all in this top is its color! It is available in white & in esmerald green as well, but my favorite version is made in geranium red. It`s a pity the picture on the web page does not reflect whole richness of that color, just trust me, as it is absolutely beautiful!

My second place goes to...

BASIC SKINNY JEANS 

I`m quite picky when it comes to jeans, especially when they are not from well-known "denim-manufactoring" companies (well, you know what I mean: Diesel, Lee, Levi`s etc.), and finding the right pair,  with flattering fit, cut, fabric and shape is so hard, but I`ll tell you what exactly I liked in these skinnies:

• first of all, the price. Normally (at least as I`ve noticed), the price of the jeans in previously mentioned stores starts with 89 £ (I might be wrong, but last time I`ve been to Levi`s I think the price was approximately like that). In this case, I mean, - in case of Massimo Dutti,  the price of these particular jeans is 44, 95 £ only! Can you feel the difference? Yes, that`s exactly what I`m talking about ))
•  secondly, the cut & color, - both of them are exceptionally classy. These jeans are available in two shades: navy blue (on the picture) and blue, - both are nice, last might be better for summer. However if you want my opinion, -  I still prefer the darker version, as it is more multifunctional (you can wear them with heels, - it will help to lengthen out the leg very nicely, and with a nice blouse for a more dressy outfit, or with simple flats (by the way Massimo Dutti has nice ones :) ) and a bright top for more casual everyday look.
• and what I also really like about them, - is that there are NO extra details on the pockets, no ridiculous lines etc. They`re again, - very classy and elegant, with only a leather label with metallic brand logo at the back. That`s it.
  
  

 Moving on, my third place goes to ...

SNAKE CHAIN BRACELET

I`m a big accessory lover, so for me a nice piece of jewellery is a must! This bracelet, which on 32 % consists of leather, will make a serious fashion statement and will add this real stylishness even to the most casual look.

 

My 'Number Four" is a ...

 

CROCODILE PRINT MESSENGER BAG

This is one of my favorite bags from our store. It`s said that "There are the bags we love, and the bags we actually use - and then there are those that can be both". And even despite the fact, that this bag wouldn`t  be a perfect match in my personal wardrobe (just simply because I have a slightly different style), it is a great investment and a lovely item for a very reasonable price of just 125 £. The cow leather is so soft and it has a lovely crocodile pattern, it`s spacious enough but what`s most important, - not too baggy, and still remain it`s nice shape and form. It`s very warm color and style make this bag worthy of special attention.

 And last, but not least, my 5th place goes to...

JACKET WITH THREE-QUARTER LENGTH SLEEVES AND LEATHER PIPING

It`s reminds me of my PINKO jacket that I used to have. This particular straight-cut, frock-style with three-quarter length sleeves suits me a lot and I might consider buying it in future. The fabric looks very dressy, it has sparkly particles, which is perfect for night. And it has leather piping, too!

Wear it with a same-length (or shorter) well-structured dress or with skinny dark trousers, don`t forget your favorite clutch and red lipstick at home, enjoy your stylish look, drink champagne and celebrate the evening!, - that`s the way I see how it works. OR impress your colleagues in the morning with extra polished natural look, neutral outfit with crispy-white shirt and well-prepared for all challenges mind, necessarily with this jacket above, - that will let everyone know, that there`s something special about you ... and who knows what "just another day at work" may bring?  :)

So, my dear friends and precious followers, this was my personal quick list of Top 5 products from Massimo Dutti according to my taste and sense of style.
