Fashion Week Inspired Do’s & Don’ts

• DO Try Denim in Unexpected Places: You can never go wrong with jeans or your classic denim jacket. However, one way to look 100% more fashionable this season is to test out denim in unexpected places like in a coat iteration or even on an accessory.
• DON’T Go Overboard: While we love denim on denim, make sure you don’t go overboard with your alternative denim pieces.

• DO Mix Textures: There’s nothing more forward-feeling and chic than mixing different textures like velvet, silk, cashmere and everything in between.
• DON’T Look Like You’re Trying Too Hard: Mixing textures is great but make sure your separates still go together. Pay close attention to the colors and patterns so it doesn’t look like you’re trying too hard.

• DO Go For Statement Boots: Right now we’re flooded with amazing boots in a wide array of interesting and unique patterns and textures—perfect to help you stand out from the crowd.
• DON’T Just Stick to Basic Black: While black boots will always be in style, a little change (cue: statement boots) never hurt anyone.

• DO Push for the Unexpected: Nothing is better than pushing the boundaries when it comes to fashion—like pairing two seemingly different styles of clothing together (like a nerd-chic sweater with a femme skirt).
• DON’T Wear a Costume: While going for the different is fantastic, ensure that you’re not just throwing together random items that scream costume!

• DO Add Layers: Layering is not only crucial to keeping warm during winter but it’s also the simplest way to look put together and fashionable.
• DON’T Forget about Proportions: While layering is undoubtedly chic, there is such a thing as too much layering. Make sure to watch proportions. Don’t bulk up too much with too many extra fabrics hanging about randomly.
