Edward Scissorhands was a fab movie but I would never let Johnny Depp’s character near my closet. And I wish designers didn’t invite him to their studios to slash everything in site.

Cut-Out Sides
A cut-out midsection is the perfect option for those who want to show off the result of their daily Pilates classes. A crop top is too ’90s. But this trend shows just enough skin to be sexy but still age appropriate.

Designers showed velvet last fall but the fabric didn’t really take off. Hopefully, second time’s a charm.
