Making of-the-moment pieces work with your signature style can be tricky – but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you’re a tomboy, an ingenue, or a bombshell, there is always one key element to mastering #TheLookNow. Here, Kasey, our fashion editor, gives the 411 on the can’t-miss buy for every personality.
The Tomboy
You’d rather spend the day exploring than getting a mani, so comfort is key. Experiment with boyfriend jeans and tailored separates.
Your Must-Have Piece: The plaid cape
“Let your inner tomboy out with layers of menswear-inspired basics. A tailored cape is a must, especially in classic plaid. Wear yours on the weekend with boyfriend jeans and slip-on sneakers or to work with cropped trousers and oxfords. An oversized watch and a structured crossbody round out the look.”
The Ingenue
Sure, you own plenty of girly separates, but you also collect old movies and art. Update flirty staples with vintage-inspired patterns.
Your Must-Have Piece: The novelty sweater
“Capture a feminine spirit and vintage vibes with a playful sweater and a mod mini. Pay attention to the little details (like pom-pom adornments and tweed textile) to really nail the look. I especially love how T-strap pumps and tights finish it off.”
The Bombshell
You love being the center of attention – it’s where you thrive. Dial up the drama with figure-hugging silhouettes and blinged-out jewels.
Your Must-Have Piece: The structured jumpsuit
“Take a sophisticated approach to night-out dressing with a shoulder-baring jumpsuit. Use accessories to amp up the drama – like laser-cut chandelier earrings and a chain-strap bag – but keep things balanced by covering up your legs. This is my go-to for fall weddings and holiday cocktail parties.”
