Fall In Line: The Military Trend For Under $200

The military trend is nothing new. In fact it’s been in style for at least 10 years, and come to think of it…back in the 80’s I wore a ton of camouflage and army greens. I digress. Yet, this is the first time in a long time, military has been deemed a trend for spring/summer. They are calling it “utilitarian” but it’s basically military. Utilitarian simply means “designed to be useful or practical rather than attractive (which one finds in the military).” Well I find the look very attractive, very wearable and luckily it’s very on trend!

Fashion Through The Ages: A Return To The 80s Soft Trench

We saw them all over the runway for spring 2016: soft, flowey, and slightly oversized belted overcoats reminiscent of the 80s. Do you remember these robe-like, slouchy midi coats? I immediately thought of Cybill Shepherd in Moonlighting or the oversized jackets on Miami Vice. The best part about these slouchy coats is that they hide what you are wearing underneath and give you a professional look in a flash.

PWP: Playful Winter Pastels

As a die-in-the-wool New Yorker who drapes herself in black most days, I’m feeling a bit drab. Must I really wait until spring to wear pastels? No way! I say grab some now! And aquamarines don’t count…we’re talking pastel clothes, shoes and accessories! -Lauren Dimet Waters
