One Piece, Three Ways: Somal Halepoto

While trends fade, style remains eternal and one piece can be put together in many different ways. In this feature we have three fashionistas showing us how to put together an item from a designer’s collection, according to their own individual style and taste!



This super chic, cool-to-the-eyes aqua Somal Halepoto jacket is perfect for summer. It is embellished with pearls, 3D roses and uses crochet lining as statement detailing, making it a perfect semi-formal piece. With its sheer appearance and classy silk belt, this piece adds that glam factor to your wardrobe. Wear it with a beige or off-white shirt underneath and you’re good to take your style to a whole new level of fabulous.

I styled this pearly blue Somal Halepoto jacket with distressed jeans and a beige silk camisole. To enhance the intricate flower embellishments on the sleeves, I wore a pair of bright Brian Atwood wedges and a Kate Spade apple clutch. Statement earrings are always a win for me, so I opted for large drop earrings. Each piece added that perfect pop of colour! I kept my hair simple and straight, with a pink lip and a fresh face. This outfit is the perfect summer combo, for a brunch or a late lunch with the girls.

I put together this intricate aqua jacket with a pair of off-white jeans and a white tank. I tucked the tank in to emphasise on the belt at the waistline, as it gives the outfit the cinched waist silhouette which is so on-trend. I love jewellery, so I paired it with some exotic pieces from Turkey and some from my own calligraphy collection. I wanted to wear my shimmery gold shoes as I love sparkle and the glam-chic look. Being a fitness trainer I don’t get to dress up on my normal days, so, I really enjoyed putting my outfit together. I kept my make-up fuss free with a basic eyeliner and candy pink lips to match the beautiful embroidery of the jacket.

I’ve paired this beautiful Somal Halepoto aqua jacket with matching flared pants and nude heels from Zara. I tied a belt at the waist to make my outfit look more trendy. For my hair, I opted for a loose curls blowdry and kept my make-up natural with a bold lip. To make my outfit more upbeat, I wore a statement Zara clutch. This is a perfect day time and an evening look that I would wear to a brunch or dinner.
