The Trench Coat Goes Cropped!
A classic trench coat is a forever transitional staple; the modern take is cropped and swingy. This showgoer pairs hers with an easy maxi dress, a straw bag, and an of-the-moment scarf slung at the waist. Leather loafers complete the look.
From Trend to Seasonal Essential, Try a Sporty Zip
Mix a bold red, sporty statement jacket with a flowing, romantic maxi. Sleek It accessories, like Khaite’s studded bag and Mary Jane ballerinas, make it pop.
Pockets, Please! A Field Jacket Is Refreshingly Cool Next to Preppy Separates
Sacai’s cropped, chopped field jacket takes center stage in a casual-cool look, balanced by breezy white separates and a striped shirt tied at the waist.
This Isn’t Your Everyday Office Blazer
A dark suede blazer, poppy-blue button-down, and stiff riding boots temper the ethereal chiffon skirt and bring it into fall.
Pastel Counts! How to Wear Color as a Minimalist
Pastels in clean silhouettes—think a poplin jacket, A-line skirt, and button-up—are especially fresh. Neutral accessories with subtle details add interest.

Choose a Timeless Trench Coat for Always-On Sartorial Success
A trench is a wardrobe classic you’ll wear forever. Pair it with kindred pieces: straight-leg jeans, kitten heels, and simple gold jewelry.
