Trends

Wearing a dress over pants is one of those things fashion girls do that I used to feel like I could never pull off. But it’s actually pretty practical — it looks chic, keeps your legs warmer than tights (minus the risk of runs), gives dresses that cool tomboy contrast, and extends your wardrobe by essentially turning a dress into a top or jacket. I find a picture is worth a thousand words, so I just like to copy these cool examples of how to wear a dress over pants.

Wide leg pants have officially taken over. While I love more structured styles for an incredibly chic work…

It feels like the military-inspired trend comes back every season, and therefore, is it really…

After seasons of skinnies, pant hems are getting wider and wider. I, for one, love a good pair of wide-leg pants.  The more forgiving style is perfect for work with a tucked-in blouse, or with a fitted sweater. Stick to heels, especially if you’re petite, to keep the wide leg from swallowing you up. Here are some of my favorite ways to wear wide leg pants.

The athletic trend has taken sports jerseys from the field to the streets, and now what used to be the biggest fashion turnoff a dude could rock is the coolest fashion trend a girl can wear. Personally, I still would save this trend for Super Bowl Sunday or watching your favorite sports team play, but if you’re feeling the athleisure trend or want to show your team pride on the reg, get inspired by these sports jersey outfits.

I remember being embarrassed when my mom picked me up from school in her long fur coat. It seemed so over the top, especially for her (at the time) vegetarian daughter. But (faux or real — your call) fur coats are everywhere this winter, and an easy way to look super chic when it’s brutally cold. Rich navies, bright magentas, Easter egg blues, and icy greys update the look, but classic blacks and browns bring a luxe elegance that will be stylish for years. It’s the cut that’s key. Case in point: My mom’s ’80s fur would feel completely 20198 if shortened a bit. Bomber styles are super modern and perf for a night out or for keeping a black tie gown from feeling stuffy, or go with a longer mid-thigh length version for added warmth and weekend to work versatility. Here are more ideas for how to wear a fur coat.

In the winter, I’m all about chunky turtleneck sweaters. Boxy and slightly oversized, I love wearing them with everything from fitted ankle-pants and chelsea boots to mini skirts and even over maxi dresses. It’s an easy layering piece that can go from work to weekend and guarantees you’ll be warm and cozy. What more could you ask for, really? Here my favorite outfit ideas for how to wear a turtleneck sweater.

From skinny knife pleats to wide paneled pleats, accordion folds are no longer just for preppy school girl skirts. Pleated skirts are everywhere, and one of my favorite closet staples to wear year-round. Sometimes separates can seem like they’re more difficult to put together but you can wear a pleated skirt with anything — tees and moto jackets, sweaters, turtlenecks, button-ups, off the shoulder shirts, pussy-bow blouses, you name it. Here are my favorite ways to wear a pleated skirt. 

I’m sure you will feel sorry for my husband after reading this post, but I…

Mules are basically the lazy girl’s dream come true. And really, why would you wear anything else when you can just slip on a pair of mule and go? Flat mules are comfy and chic and a great alternative to the ballet flats and loafers you’ve worn to the ground — they feel much sleeker. Look for a pair with a heel to dress up your look — you can even wear them with tights into the winter.

Mules may seem like they’re tricky to style but just treat them like any other pair of flats or sandals and you’re good to go. Here are a bunch of different ways to wear mules that show just how versatile they are.
