A GUESS REFRESH

Words: Lindsay Samson

Established in 1981 by brothers Georges and Paul Marciano, the brand’s unmistakable black-and-white ad campaigns in the 80s and 90s turned then-unknown models such as Claudia Schiffer and Anna Nicole Smith into household names and helped redefine what was traditionally considered men’s workwear into a coveted staple. Almost four decades later, GUESS remains a ubiquitous name in fashion, reinventing itself while retaining the allure that originally made it famous. Fancy a summer wardrobe update? Here are some of the latest GUESS pieces we’re loving, along with a few styling tips.

THE CLASSIC TEES

A crisp white T-shirt is non-negotiable when it comes to summer style. Versatile, casual and emblazoned with the brand’s signature triangle logo, GUESS tees can be paired with just about anything. The popular polo shirt is ideal for that classic summer look, while the logo tee delivers the perfect mix of comfort and style. Pair either tees with a miniskirt for a casual summer look and for a slightly more formal air, wear with high-waisted trousers.

DO IT IN DENIM

From low-rise to detailed, versatility is one of GUESS’ claims to jean fame. Expressly designed to enhance your natural figure, the low-rise Power Skinny is available in Alexa (indigo wash), Night Fall (dark wash) and Sofia (light blue wash) and features a five-pocket construction and zip fly. Couple it with a structured red or yellow blazer and sneakers for a refined, relaxed look or an understated blouse for a softer summer style. Prefer your denim with extra bling or a more distressed style? GUESS has you covered with a vast range of eye-catching jeans. Like it sparkly? Head for the new body-hugging black skinny with glittery side seams and gold stud detailing. Add some sky-high stilettos or team with a bodysuit for extra elegance.
