Marella Clothing: The Italian Brand Worth Knowing

Marella clothing has been one of the most talked-about things in the boutique this season. Not talked about in the way that makes you feel you have missed something, more the quiet word of mouth that happens when a customer tries something on, turns to her friend and says "this is really good, isn't it". That kind of talked about.

What Makes Marella Clothing Different

Marella is part of the Max Mara group, which tells you something about the level of craft behind the brand. But where Max Mara is structured and formal, Marella takes a different direction entirely. It is relaxed. It is everyday. It is the kind of Italian dressing that makes you look as if you simply threw something on and it happened to be perfect.

The fabrics are carefully chosen. The cuts are clean without being stiff. And there is a considered approach to colour that runs through the whole collection. Nothing is there by accident, nothing shouts. The whole thing has a quietly confident quality that is very hard to manufacture and very easy to fall for.

The Marella Pieces We Are Wearing Right Now

The Shirts

The shirts are where Marella really earns its place. The Green Silk Shirt is the kind of piece that people come into the boutique for and leave wearing. It has that rare quality of looking simple and feeling special at the same time. The Light Blue Stripe Cotton Shirt sits at the other end of the spectrum, casual and considered in equal measure. And the White Print Ruffle Front Shirt brings a softness that works beautifully as the season warms up.

The Dresses

The dress edit is equally strong. The White Print Cotton Dress has an architectural quality to the print that makes it feel genuinely individual. The Dark Violet Sleeveless Jersey Dress is the piece for those who want colour but not volume. And the Light Blue Print Cap Sleeve Stretch Cotton Dress is effortless in the way only well-cut Italian clothing can be.

Trousers and Separates

The linen mix trousers deserve a mention of their own. In warm brown and pale pink, beautifully cut and relaxed in fit, pair them with the silk shirt and the outfit is done. And if you are looking for something a little more unexpected, the Silver Sequin Midi Pencil Skirt is one of the most glamorous things we have had on the rail this season. It is the kind of piece you buy because you cannot stop thinking about it.

How to Wear Marella

The easiest starting point is the shirt. The Green Silk Shirt over the brown linen trousers, with simple flat sandals, is a complete outfit that requires nothing else. For evenings, the same shirt tucked into the Silver Sequin Skirt is as striking as it gets.

For those who prefer dresses, the Violet Jersey Dress needs almost no styling. It works on its own, with minimal jewellery, and carries any occasion from lunch to dinner without effort.

The beauty of Marella clothing is that it rewards simplicity. The pieces are interesting enough that you do not need to do much around them. Let the quality speak for itself.
