Chartreuse Occasionwear: How to Style the Imo Top
Let colour be the reason you try something different. Our Imo Top Chartreuse brings a vivid new direction to your occasion wardrobe, with a silhouette that is just as expressive as its shade.
Designed and made here in Lagos, our Imo Top combines striped sheer organza, an asymmetric one-shoulder neckline and a draped panel. Within INTO THE WILD, it offers a different way to make a statement: through colour, proportion and the movement of fabric.
You do not need an entirely new wardrobe to wear it. Begin with the separates you already love, and let us show you where to take the look.
Build the outfit around proportion
Begin with plain trousers or a simple skirt, then inspect the outline at full length. A quieter lower half can make an expressive top feel easy to understand. Consider where the waist sits and how the hem relates to the draped detail.
Experiment with your existing clothes before deciding that the look needs a new matching piece. A familiar pair of well-fitting trousers may be exactly what gives the outfit confidence. The useful question is whether the proportions work together, rather than whether the items were bought together.
Approach chartreuse through your own palette
If you usually wear neutrals, try a darker foundation and keep the accessories restrained. If you enjoy colour, explore a second shade in a small accessory before committing to a larger block of it.
Assess colour combinations in natural light where possible. A pairing that seems convincing under warm indoor lighting may look different outside. You are looking for a combination you enjoy in the settings where you will actually wear it.
Leave room around the shoulder
An asymmetric top offers a natural starting point for decisions about hair and jewellery. Try minimal jewellery first, then add an earring if the look needs more definition. A necklace is optional, and leaving it out can help the shoulder line remain clear.
Consider your bag strap during the fitting. The way a bag is carried can change the appearance and comfort of a statement neckline. Holding a small bag may be preferable to placing a strap across the main design detail.
Plan for the occasion
For a celebration, dinner or creative event, use the invitation and venue to choose your final level of formality. Check fit information and handling instructions before buying, particularly if delicate fabrics are new to your wardrobe.
