Cropped Jackets
The boyfriend blazer is my go-to choice when I’m wearing my denim leggings or a mini. But it’s overpowering with a basic pair of slacks. A cropped jacket, on the other hand, is just right. I especially like them worn over a fluid long top as shown at Vanessa Bruno.

Some capes can be chic. But more often than not, they come across looking like something out of a fairy tale or comic book. The majority of capes in Paris only seemed suitable for last year’s Superheroes-themed Met Gala.

I’d rather be a butterfly than a caterpillar in a cocoon. But, if you like the dramatic volume of a cocoon coat you’re in luck because it was très popular during Paris Fashion Week. If you follow the trend, keep it slim on bottom as Stella McCartney did with her vegan leather leggings.
