The Attico SS26: Got Me in a Chokehold

We need to talk about The Attico because this brand is one of my personal FAVORITES. I've been obsessed with them for the last three years—ever since I first discovered them on Rihanna back in 2022 (insert photo below because that moment? Iconic).

First, let me tell you about my Attico love story. Earlier this year, The Webster opened at Lenox Mall (if you know, you know), and it was the first time I got to actually touch an Attico piece in real life. I tried on this bomber jacket and when I tell you—this thing felt like BUTTER on my body. The way it just sat perfectly, the pockets that made your hands feel like they were in heaven... I was fully ready to swipe my card right then and there but then it was also like 5k, lmao I had to come back down to reality. That Attico hit different lol.

So naturally, when I finally got to catch one of their live shows this year, I knew I had to share it with y'all (yes, with my own music spin because copyright is not playing with me lol). And let me just say…this season was giving OFFICE SIREN in the best way possible.

Now, if you're not familiar with the office siren aesthetic, let me break it down: it's basically power dressing but make it sexy. Like, can you actually wear this to your 9-to-5? Absolutely not. But is it giving corporate fantasy with an edge? 100%. It's that perfectly balanced mix of professional silhouettes with details that are anything but appropriate for a board meeting, and honestly? I’m obsessed.

The Looks That Had Me Screaming

The lace pieces? Chef's kiss. The Attico brought back this incredible attention to detail with intricate lace that felt both delicate and bold at the same time. We're talking structured pieces with sheer panels that somehow manage to be office-coded but also... not. Peekaboo cutouts that are strategically placed? Yes. It's giving "I run this company" energy with a side of danger, and I'm here for every single moment.

And can we talk about the snap button material  which is truly Attico coded ? Because YES versatility .There's something so satisfying about those snap closures that feels both retro and modern at once. 

Final Thoughts

The collection overall was this perfect storm of sharp tailoring, unexpected textures, and that signature Attico confidence. Titled "Lei è così" (meaning "She is like this"), designers Gilda Ambrosio and Giorgia Tordini created something that celebrates the contradictions of femininity, the refusal to be put in a box or defined by anyone else's standards. Masculine cuts meet sheer layering, structured coats get softened by lace, and the accessories? They demand your attention whether you're ready or not.

This is exactly why The Attico remains one of my absolute favorite brands. They understand that fashion should make you feel something…just like that buttery touch of that bomber jacket I tried on or the powerful energy of knowing you look and feel incredible in whatever you put on.

The Attico woman doesn't play by the rules, and honestly? That's the energy we all need. If you haven't been paying attention to The Attico, now's the time to start. Trust me, your wardrobe (and your confidence) will thank you.
