]]> With New York Fashion Week wrapped up, let’s talk about how we can incorporate the fabulous trends from the Fall runways to your Spring wardrobe. Some themes are so versatile that they look great when combined with other looks! For example: “all-white  everything” (seen at The Row, Tommy Hilfiger, J. Crew) and “all-black everything” (seen at Vera Wang and Zac Posen) outfits were a consistent trend at fashion week. The key to making these outfits look chic and trendy is contrasting textures – giving us the opportunity to incorporate other trends into the mix.

Perfect for Spring, the white ensemble combines multiple trends while still looking light and fresh.  A chunky knit sweater with metallic detailing alludes to the metallic themes at Marc Jacobs and Alexander Wang, while the crisp cargo pants salute to the modern military trend seen at Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, and Donna Karan. To polish the look off, add the  new It-bag: the structured handbag with mini-wedged sandals.

This black on black look also incorporates many of the latest trends from fashion week while remaining chic. This leather collared blouse from Theory resembles many looks from the runways that emphasized leather detailing. Black silk basket weave jacquard capri trousers are the perfect pants for spring because of its cut and intricate detailing. Throw on structured jacket to stay on-trend (and weather appropriate) with a structured satchel, and slip into the hottest style in footwear — the minimalist sandal (this one is from Prabal Gurung’s new LOVE collection from Target.)
