By Malene Birger creates clothing that doesn't need an explanation. Calm colors, clean cuts, quality fabrics. It is the brand our customers turn to when they want a piece that simply works without being the center of attention.

The collection is broad. To help you find your way around more quickly, here are the categories we carry.

Tops: the entry point

The tops are the best-selling part of the line and the most affordable entry point. The Dali in Black and the Amani in Soft White are the two basic pieces, slim-cut and designed for layering.

The Anisa in Light Brown is priced at 42 euros, making it the most accessible piece from the brand. The Braga in Monogram is the sportier version with a logo texture.

Trousers

The Alban in Dark Mahogany is our most popular trouser from the brand. Wide leg, drawstring waistband, plaid pattern in a muted brown. Comfortable, but not like loungewear.

The Cabello in Old Beige is the more refined version with narrow stripes, closer to tailoring. These are joined by the Luisa in Aubergine and the Vinola in Chocolate Chip, both in limited quantities.

Blouses and shirts

The Derris shirt blouse in Aubergine is the piece that instantly elevates a simple look. The Rosianna in Black is its quieter counterpart.

If you prefer something simpler, go for the Brita Flat Longsleeve in Pure White or the Laura Shirt in Black.

Scarves and belts

This is the underestimated part of the brand. A scarf or a belt changes a look more than a new top, and both cost less.

We carry the Turtla in Black, also available in Grey Brown Melange. The Omma in Soft White is the light choice for transitional weather, while the Mallon in Black is the warmest.

Regarding belts, the Zoilo in Black and the Marlos in Black are the two classics, both 150 euros.

The statement pieces

The Trullem coat in Grey Brown Melange is the statement piece of the collection. A long wrap coat with a shawl collar and tie belt, soft wool quality, 830 euros.

Pair it with the Masey Heels in Black if you're dressing up for an evening out.

Sizes and fit

By Malene Birger has a loose fit. This is part of the design, as the pieces are intended to drape rather than sit tightly. If you are between two sizes and prefer a closer fit, choose the smaller one.

With drawstring trousers, the size is less critical because the waistband adjusts. For the blouses, it is worth trying them on, as the shoulders are intentionally cut wider.
