Sweater-Vest

Tossing on a sweater-vest (whether you’re wearing it on its own or layered) is an easy yet on-trend way to create a simple, directional look.

Flat Boots

I can’t wait to wear chunky flat boots this season. I’m all about a shoe trend that’s practical and forward. 

Oversize Blazer

The simplest way to bring instant polish to even the most casual ’fit is by incorporating a slouchy blazer in a silhouette.

Leather Separates

While leather separates may seem more high-concept in theory, those textured trousers, skirts, and tops pair flawlessly with basics for an easy, sleek vibe.

Straight-Leg Jeans

When it comes to the denim cut du jour among the fashion crowd, straight-leg jeans reign supreme for their comfortable and timeless yet of-the-moment nature.

Re-Worked Trench Coat

A reimagined trench coat can instantly take an ensemble to the next level with its trend-forward qualities. Throw one on over anything, and you’re set. It’s that easy.
