Ladneri: Which pieces are worth it and how do they fit?
Ladneri is one of those brands you touch once and then you understand. Cashmere, satin, wool, barely any logos. The pieces are named after first names and places: Luce, Poupette, Le Plaine, Sofia, Darla, Karo.
If you search online, you will see a list of names. Here is what is behind them, how the pieces fit, and what they are good for.
The essentials in brief
- Sizes usually run from S to L, with some pieces available up to XL. Hats and accessories come in One Size, belts in 75 to 95.
- Luce is the cardigan, Poupette is the cashmere sweater, Le Plaine and Karo are the skirts.
- Our selection ranges between €89 and €998.
- The cuts are calm and slightly loose. If you prefer a tighter fit, go for a size smaller.
The sizes: S to L, plus special sizes
The majority of the collection comes in S, M, and L, with some knit and shirt models also available in XL.
Hats, scarves, and other accessories come in One Size. The belts have their own sizes from 75 to 95, measured in centimeters.
Many models are deliberately loosely cut, with dropped shoulders and longer sleeves. The fit is true to size, but the feel is more relaxed than with classically tailored goods.
Luce: the cardigan with a deep V-neck
The brand's classic. Deep V-neck, horn-like buttons from top to bottom, slightly loose cut with dropped shoulders and slightly overlong sleeves.
It is available in colors including Wine and Dark Brown. Wear it over a narrow top with jeans, or as a light jacket for the transition between seasons. €329.
Poupette: the cashmere sweater
100% cashmere, short puff sleeves, round neck, ribbed cuffs. The fit is normal and true to size.
The short sleeves make the difference: the sweater can be worn even when a long-sleeved one would be too much. In Rouge and Cacao Noir. €369.
Le Plaine and Karo: the two skirts
Le Plaine is the satin skirt. Flowing, slight A-line, concealed elastic waistband, so it is comfortable without visible compromises. In black and cream, €329.
Karo is the A-line maxi skirt, calm taupe-brown, flowing silhouette down to the floor. €359.
Both work just as well with flat shoes as with heels, and both go well with something slim on top.
Sofia: the wool jacket for cooler days
100% wool, loosely cut pea coat, double-breasted button closure, fold-over collar. Intended as a layer over knitwear, not as a tight jacket.
In Dark Walnut, €549. This is the piece you buy in October and wear until March.
Darla: the satin top
Slim adjustable straps, sweetheart neckline, lace at the hem, side slits. Flowingly cut from an acetate-polyester blend.
In Cream and black, €179. Worn under the Luce cardigan or the Sofia pea coat, this creates a complete look from one brand.
Line and Elou: the quiet basics
Line is the long-sleeve top, in Dark Brown and Winetasting, €119. Elou is the top in Wine, €179.
Both are pieces that layer under the more eye-catching items and ensure the rest works well.
