King Louie Style With Us Episode #227

At Urban Cachet, we believe fashion should tell a story, and no brand tells a tale quite like King Louie. This week on Style With Us, Dee and Dana explore a collection that feels like a treasure hunt through a high-end vintage boutique, but with all the benefits of modern, sustainable textile engineering.

King Louie is renowned for its "quirky retro styling," but what truly sets them apart is their commitment to the planet. Many of the pieces featured this week are GOTS-certified organic, meaning the brand monitors everything from the health of the soil to the final processing of the fabric. They also utilise Ecovero viscose, a wood-cellulose fibre that offers a silky drape while remaining environmentally friendly. When you slip into a King Louie print, you aren’t just wearing a pattern; you’re wearing a piece of art crafted with a conscience.

Look 1: Timeless Silhouettes and Scalloped Details

Dee kicked things off with the Juno Skirt Chime in Black. The Juno is a long-time favourite shape for King Louie lovers, a midi-length skirt that offers movement and elegance. To add a pop of seasonal colour, she paired it with the Surkana Knitted Sweater in a rich Bottle Green. The standout feature here? The delicate scalloping and Perkins collar that prove the "attention to detail" King Louie and their partner brands are known for.

Meanwhile, Dana opted for the Laura Pleat Dress in Elysse. This A-line design is incredibly versatile. With its subtle puff sleeves, elasticated back for comfort, and generous fit (Dana wears a 38, which comfortably fits sizes 8 through 12), it’s the ultimate "occasion" dress. Whether you style it with rugged boots for a daytime look or a slim heel for a winter wedding, the Elysse print is sure to turn heads.

Products in this set:

• Juno Skirt Chime in Black (Midi length, sustainable viscose)

• Juno Skirt Estelle Zigzag in Bordeaux Red

• Surkana Knitted Sweater Perkins Collar in Bottle Green (Scalloped detail)

• Laura Pleat Dress in Elysse (A-line with puff sleeves)

Look 2: Shimmer, Stretch, and the Perfect Border Skirt

If you're looking for an outfit that transitions seamlessly from the office to a dinner date, look no further than the Dumas set in Spruced Green. The Guenda Top and matching Border Skirt feature a subtle lurex thread knitted through the fabric, giving it a sophisticated shimmer without feeling "over the top."

Dana noted the exceptional comfort of this set, the stretch fabric makes it a dream to wear all day. The Border Skirt has been an Urban Cachet staple for several seasons, and this time, we’ve brought it in multiple colourways: Milano Uni in Black (the quintessential work skirt), Brisk in Spruced Green, and the Frio in Spruced Green.

Style Tip: Pay close attention to the sizing for these skirts, as the different fabric blends offer varying degrees of stretch!

Dee showcased the Jiggy Jacket in Neve, a quilted cotton masterpiece. This jacket is delightfully generous in its sizing, Dee wears a 38 (typically a size 10) but suggests it fits more like a 12, leaving plenty of room for a chunky knit like the Surkana Ecru Sweater underneath. Paired with New London Christow Jeans and high boots, it’s the ultimate chic-yet-cosy ensemble.

Products in this set:

• Guenda Top Dumas in Spruced Green (3/4 sleeves with lurex shimmer)

• Border Skirt Dumas in Spruced Green (Matching shimmer knit)

• Border Skirt Milano Uni in Black (The classic basic)

• Surkana Knit Sweater with Contrasting Details in Ecru

• New London Jeans Christow Loose Leg Crop in Black Denim

Look 3: Elegant Layers and Luxe Velvet

For those who prefer a more structured layer, the Cilla Gillet in Red is a showstopper. Fully lined with a gorgeous hidden print and secured with hook-and-eye closures, it adds instant warmth and vibration to a simple base like the Humidity Grace Top and the flowy Serena Skirt.

Products in this set:

• Cilla Gillet in Red (V-neck, fully lined vest)

• Serena Skirt Gauzy in Black (Flowy half-circle style)

• Humidity Grace Top in Moss

• EOS Footwear Ila Boot in Chestnut
  

• Lizzy Top Shimmy in Black (Stretch velvet jersey with back cut-out)

• Sara Pants Shimmy in Black (Wide leg stretch velvet trousers)

• EOS Footwear Phea Shoe in Castania-Kidsuede (Flat suede shoe)

We couldn't finish the week without a touch of luxury. The Lizzy Top and Sara Pants in "Shimmy Black" stretch velvet are the answer to every "what do I wear to a show?" dilemma. This set is soft, plush, and incredibly comfortable. The pants are designed with a sensible length, making them perfect for flat shoes, like the EOS Phea Shoe, if you want to skip the heels for the night.

Whether you're drawn to the bold zigzags of the Juno skirt or the soft touch of King Louie velvet, this collection celebrates the joy of dressing up.
