When looking for an outfit to go to a party, or something classic and formal for a business meeting, the Saint Laurent online shop at Stylight has everything you need.

Reimagining Saint Laurent’s Classic Styles

Saint Laurent, formerly known as Yves Saint Laurent or YSL, has been a mainstay in the haute couture and ready-to-wear scene since 1961. Credited with popularizing the tuxedo look for women and bringing non-European influences and models into a heavily whitewashed design world, Saint Laurent remains a subtly transgressive and forward-thinking brand at the forefront of fashion.

The Saint Laurent brand has stayed true to its legacy by producing bold and beautiful clothing for men and women in command of their own style. Today’s offerings are a revitalization of some of the brand’s original stylish coups.

The Beatnik Look

In the smoky, swanky days of the early 60’s, Saint Laurent popularized the style of New York City’s evolving beatnik generation. Their look, characterized by turtlenecks, berets, and a lot of black was as chic as it was minimalist. Saint Laurent upgraded this pared-down aesthetic by producing garments of simple design but luxurious textile. Revive the beatnik look by picking up a pair of elegant Saint Laurent black ankle boots to wear with your cashmere turtleneck and skinny jeans.

Le Smoking

The revolutionary shift of perspectives on where “womenswear” ends and “menswear” begins was initiated by the Le Smoking suit in 1966. The sleek pantsuit, worn by screen sirens and Helmut Newton models alike, was coveted for its long lines and lack of embellishment. Pick up a Le Smoking for your next formal affair and pair it with a sky-high pair of heels for a look that’s as powerful and unexpected as it is pretty.

Pop Art

When the Pop movement was at the height of its popularity, Saint Laurent capitalized on the highbrow trend by turning it into wearable art. Capturing the primary color blocks of the painter Piet Mondrian and the simplified lines of the human form, Saint Laurent’s Pop Art collection became wildly sought after as soon as it hit the runways. Today’s Saint Laurent maintains this Pop sensibility by including irreverent touches in its apparel, from a star-spangled pair of silver knee-high boots to a cleanly colorblocked shift dress.

Saint Laurent has remained a major relevant voice on the fashion scene for decades. Continue the tradition with new styles that pay homage to the original vision while looking to the future for inspiration.
