Can you wear couture in real life?
Yes, you can wear couture in real life. The key to introducing couture pieces into your everyday wardrobe is to select looks that are versatile. For example, you might invest in classics that you can mix and match in different ways, like a little black dress or a blazer in a solid, neutral hue like beige or gray. Or, you might select bolder couture bags, shoes and accessories to wear with things that you already have in your wardrobe. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of apparel, shoes, bags and accessories.
