Reviving Noughties Fashion: Tove’s Take on Bringing Back Skinny Silhouettes

As a woman who fondly remembers the noughties and its iconic skinny jean trend, the question arises: how can one incorporate those silhouettes into their wardrobe in a modern, age-appropriate way? According to Camille Perry and Holly Wright of Tove, the answer lies in a long black, skinny wool trouser that flares just below the ankle, paired with a structured, double-breasted blazer of the same make.

Having garnered a cult following in London over the past six years, Perry and Wright have captured the essence of noughties fashion by blending tailored pieces with subtle hints of skin. Ruched waists, a signature element of the brand, make an appearance throughout their collections, offering a stylish solution for individuals who have experienced motherhood. In their latest fall collection, ruched waists adorn strapless gowns, peplum tops, and even a daring see-through dress.

Opting out of a traditional runway show this season, the designers are focusing on expanding their global presence, particularly in the US and Middle East markets. The fall collection serves as a continuation of their September showcase, featuring a minimalistic aesthetic with a touch of sensuality and rejuvenation.

The slit waistband introduced in September makes a comeback, this time adorning a silk pencil skirt that hits just above the knee. Backless buttons, previously seen on silk shirts, now embellish cashmere jumpers, adding a playful twist to classic knitwear. A standout shade in the collection is a vibrant golden egg yolk yellow, showcased in a backless gown, a cropped wool jumper, and a silk skirt with a hammered finish.

When the fall collection becomes available in stores, fashion enthusiasts can expect to see a resurgence of long, black skinny trousers with a subtle flare—a nod to the timeless appeal of noughties fashion.
