THE TREND: TRENCH 2 .0

We’re calling it – the trench coat is the new power outerwear. Lightweight enough to wear on its own as a dress, this season offers up plenty of deconstructed options that also work as separates.

IF YOU’RE BUSTY...

A skirt with roomy side pockets and a nipped-in waist helps to balance out your silhouette, and you can pair this with a slouchy graphic knit.

THE TREND: MAD FOR PLAID

It’s hip to be square! Plaid is having a moment in the spotlight now, and we are loving its endless options. Anchor each look with one plaid item, and build around it.

IF YOU’RE BUSTY...

Use a boxy jacket to balance out top-heavy figures - bonus if it’s got highlighted vertical details - and style it with a structured skirt.
