Capes
Retro swingers are in full force. As natty as they are cozy, these toppers have a dash of British panache.
NAIL IT
Shorter versions feel a bit less conspicuous, and navy can look fresher than black. Hunt for leather and hardware details that add definition.
Bright Pants
In cherry, kelly green, or even vibrant cobalt, high-impact trousers are a daring new basic.
NAIL IT
Ground these attention seekers in tweed or another woolly texture, and resist picking up the color in other parts of your outfit.
Loafer Heels
Forget your granddad's slip-ons. Designers have introduced platforms and spiky heels to the menswear staple.
NAIL IT
These shoes are meant to be seen, so pair them with a leather skirt or tailored stovepipes.
Printed Maxis
Long dresses in impressionistic patterns floated down the runway.
NAIL IT
Wear this surfeit of silk with a boyfriend blazer, a motorcycle jacket, or some other piece with a contrasting vibe.
Smart Pantsuits
Sharp lapels, tailored shoulders, an aura of authority. Menswear suits in plaids and pinstripes powered down the fall runways.
NAIL IT
With or without a dapper vest underneath, a bow blouse in silk adds the right feminine flair.
Boxy Bags
Petite, structured purses are fall's new arm candy, a well-considered companion to the season's polished styles.
NAIL IT
Their charm is in the details. A classic (and trendy!) plaid works great for day; gold and croc are dazzling day or night.
Colorful Tops
Designers added funk and flow to the graphic play with Ziggy Stardust takes and fluid crêpe de chine tunics.
NAIL IT
With blocking on top, keep pants or minis sleek.
Leather Skirts
Whether full and pleated or cut in an A-line wrap, the skirts simply beg to be touched.
NAIL IT
Any leather skirt goes well with a cashmere T. Give the whole look oomph with patterned tights and booties.
...Make them your own ,by incorporating them into your look.
Cheers!
