Simple, sensible silhouettes for fall

MANILA, Philippines - Festive doesn’t necessarily mean sequins and flash.

Trucco churned out ladylike ensembles that work for the office and after hours. Make pretty this holiday season in paisley and peppy prints. Streamline your ensemble in chic gray, black and plum separates. Red cardis and bow-embellished dresses and purses add a dash of color.

Simple, elegant silhouettes keep you chic this season — and the next.

Keep it lean: Lean architectural lines and a slight ‘70s reference make this number a standout. Trucco two-tone A-line skirt, knit top, bow-embellished purse and two-strap Mary Janes pack a punch.

Lady of the manor: Bring on the pattern with this colorful print dress by Trucco. Low-key accessories like this brown flap purse with chain strap and multi-strap Mary Janes keep the look grounded.

Take a bow: Bows add a touch of playfulness to any ensemble. A bow-cinched dress is finished with two-tone pumps and a cute bow-embellished purse.

Prints charming: Wear your heart — and love for prints — on your sleeve. Trucco’s red and gray dress with ruffle trim is a sight for sore eyes. Pair it with two-strap Mary Janes and a chain and leather purse.

Bohemian rhapsody: Don some pretty paisley print for a festive touch to your usual work attire. Trucco paisley dress is paired with a knit vest and finished with a key necklace, plum suede bag and two-strap Mary Janes.
