Make it yours: Leave it to Paris to produce everyday go-to’s with a decidedly glamorous appeal. Sure, there may not be many a day where you get or need to flaunt glittery pieces, but, when you do want to surprise, why not go all the way? From blazers to cowboy shirts, seeing classics get the gilt treatment looked effortless – and so will you if you don pieces that are standard but drenched with sequins on special days.
Victoriana-

Make it yours: What started at Dior last season made it’s way round from city to city. Loose interpretations of classic Victorian/Edwardian silhouettes and shirting brought back a sense of femininity to many real world collections.

Make it yours: Apron like dresses and tops made for savvy layering pieces and are sure to deliver year-round wear. Think of it this way, take a simple halter neck top or dress and layer away underneath as temperatures drop.
Statement Making Earrings-

Make it yours: Sure, earrings are a mainstay, and yes, it might sound ridiculous to say they are back. And while true, they were deployed to punctuate many a look. Just think about it, earrings are akin to red lipstick. They brighten your face and make it pop. No need to go basic though, why not try a conversation starter?
Pleats Please-

Make it yours: Deceiving micro pleats that add the look of texture to even the simplest of garb made an appearance on almost every major runway from New York to Paris. Best of all were pieces that boasted color blocking, giving further depth. Even if it’s a basic t-shirt, be on the look out for pleated pieces to elevate any look.
