Fancy Pants

Reds

Surely you’ve seen loads of side-stripe pants by now, but today we have a different iteration with more universal appeal—the tuxedo stripe. If you’re asking yourself what's the difference between the sporty stripe and the tuxedo stripe, think of it this way: the latter is menswear-inspired and takes cues from formal attire rather than the soccer field. Easier to wear than the season’s printed jeans, tuxedo-stripe pants offer a simple way to update your everyday mix. Even better, the trend translates seamlessly for the office (with tailored trouser versions a la Miranda Kerr) and the weekend (with casual denim styles as seen on Cara Delevingne), giving you plenty of ways to wear the look. On The Runway While Reed Krakoff served up a large helping of athletic-inspired silhouettes at his S/S 13…

Five Perfect Tees

Reds

Anyone who knows me will tell you I love a t-shirt. The staple is my all-time favorite closet chameleon--meaning it looks just as good worn with your most casual pieces as it does with your fancier, after-five essentials--and the styles I own get very little downtime. While most people associate tees with casual weekend looks, I prefer to wear them in a more professional or dressed-up scenario. Paired with the right components, such as the perfect pair of trousers, a slickly tailored jacket, and sexy shoes, a t-shirt balances out the look to make it feel effortlessly cool. Plus, the beauty of an excellent tee is that it also fits right in with a biker jacket and boyfriend jeans or can be tucked into a swingy summer skirt, so it’s a piece you can wear for work, play,…

3 Ways to Wear A Trench

Reds

I am a self-admitted enabler when it comes to convincing my friends and co-workers to purchase clothing. That said, I'm not blindly enthusiastic. Being able to discern which pieces are truly worth a splurge is one of my talents, and when it comes to the tried-and-true trench coat, I wholeheartedly stand behind this solid investment. Few fashion items have stood the test of time to reach the wardrobe hall of fame, but the trench coat is one that has ultimate staying power. Perhaps its immortal status has something to do with its chameleon-like ability to adapt to the trends of the moment--embellishments, fabrics, cuts, you name it! Because of its lasting appeal, the coat has been popular among legendary ladies from both the past and the present, as everyone from…

Show Stopping Statement Suits

Reds

Try saying that 5 times fast!! The women’s pantsuit has come a long way since Yves Saint Laurent designed the first of its kind, the infamous Le Smoking tuxedo suit, in 1966. Since then the matching separates have been reimagined with modern silhouettes, bright hues, and interesting fabrics, making it a trend we never tire of. While we love our tried-and-true monochrome versions, we’re eager to experiment with more exciting styles too, like the printed suit. A favorite of sartorial risk-takers, including Anna Dello Russo, Rita Ora, and Solange Knowles, this standout look is a surefire way to amp up your standard weekday repertoire and makes a serious style statement on and off the clock. On The Runway Go bold or go home—that’s what we imagine Iceberg designer Paolo Gernai…

Bold Stripes for Spring

Reds

ask a STYLIST With Emily Current and Meritt Elliott The stripes trend is everywhere. How can I get the look? Bold stripes can be intimidating—after all, no one wants to look like an umpire or a circus tent—but with some smart styling, they can be flattering, we promise. Here are our three favorite ways to wear this spring trend without fear! Tip #1: Mix With Abandon Embrace your inner '60s starlet and try a striking mix ofbigger, horizontal stripes on your top andsmaller, vertical stripes on your lower half. While there are lots of bright colors on the market, when you're starting out, stick toblack or navy. Also, it's smart to keep the accessories to a minimum and your shoes simple, chic and as comfortable as the best shoes for standing on concrete all…

White is the new Black

Reds

The little black dress may be the epitome of classic sophistication, but lately we're more interested in its modern counterpart—the little white dress. With streamlined silhouettes and interesting embellishments, a white cocktail frock makes a definitive statement without being flashy (like you'd get with red or brights) or boring (other neutrals like gray are chic, but don't stand out the same way). We love the way fashion-forward ladies like Zoe Saldana and Naomi Watts are currently wearing this key piece, and think you’ll find their choices inspiring too. Read on for all of today’s outfit details and shop similar styles to get the look now.

Style Tips for Spring

Reds

Just like clockwork, every spring the stripe returns to the spotlight, but this season’s play on the motif is bigger and bolder than ever. The look is a sophisticated nod to ‘60s-inspired style, and we’ve noticed several fashionphiles earning their stripes in a way that’s easy to replicate. From Nicole Richie’s graphic dress to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s striking jumpsuit, continue reading to see how these stylish girls wear bold stripes, then shop the look today. On The Runways Striped patterns dominated the season’s runways, particularly at Marc Jacobs’ S/S 13 show. The designer’s collection channeled a decidedly mod mood: thick parallel stripes covered everything from atailored blazer to a slim skirt and the Black And Ivory Silk Jersey Dress ($1900, 212.343.1490), paired with Black Patent Leather Mary Jane Flats ($625, 212.343.1490). Yet the look remained modern…

A Lil Leather Never Hurt Nobody

Reds

Slim leather leggings will always be a mainstay in cool girls’ stylish wardrobes, but this season, it's all about another runway favorite—the baggy leather trouser. These low-slung, slouchy pants are more menswear-chic than their skinny rock ‘n’ roll counterparts and are becoming increasingly popular among fashion insiders and well-dressed celebs alike. We find them completely desirable too, as they offer the perfect blend of androgyny and understated sex appeal. For tips on how to wear this spring essential and to shop the season’s best styles, don’t miss today’s Trend Report. On The Runways At Balmain, designer Olivier Rousteing showed his version of the baggy leather trouser—a high-waisted pant with front-pleat details and a cuffed hem—which perfectly embodied the collection’s Miami-in-the-'80s theme. Paired here with the Yellow Short-Sleeved Cropped Top Embroidered with…
