The dynamic tension between personal style and passing trends continues to shape the sartorial landscape. We like to think that the outfit you wear creates a direction, and your personal style is how you get from point A to point B – fluid, and always in motion. When your ensembles lack movement, it may be time to ask, “How do I restyle myself?”. The right purchase can be the catalyst needed to send you into a whole new chapter in the story of your wardrobe. Remember that getting dressed is a journey, not a destination. Sometimes it just takes one piece; a bag, a coat, a pair of shoes to understand where to take your looks and how to make them personally relevant. While zebra prints roar down runways and statement boots stomp through street-style shots, true tastemakers know that the most powerful outfit is one that resonates with your inner self. So, find the print that speaks to your inner spirit animal. Look for small details representing the message you’d like to send to the world – perhaps a pop of color, a touch of lace, or sparkle.
We know that long coats and blazers are on-trend this season, and luckily there are many ways to interpret the trend and make it work for you. Think of the cut of your jacket and what it can convey about your being. Are you powerful, like a structured blazer, thoughtful, like a material mashup of tweed and velvet, or captivating, like a cocooning neckline and belted waistline? Shearling and long-haired furs saunter back into the discourse with coats that are the sartorial equivalent of a warm bear hug. If this tactile coziness speaks to you, consider wearing shearling in novel ways like with a mule sneaker or a delightfully fuzzy handbag. Want to become a bit more laid back and free-spirited with your style? Try out some key elements of the bohemian look that will be easy to style with your wardrobe staples, like a suede bag or a statement belt. True style transcends zeitgeist, with roots in self-knowledge and instinct. Cultivating a look that is authentic and resonates with your personality isn’t just on-trend — it’s revolutionary.
