14 new ways to layer ahead! »

Summertime might seem like an odd time to broach the topic of layers but hear us out. Unlike winter when the weather ranges from cold to colder and your winter boots and leather leggings are a safe bet, summer can be a bit tricky when it comes to outfit planning. Cold nights with days ranging between sweltering and monsoon-like or downright chilly, layers seem to be the perfect answer to our everyday wardrobe conundrums. Layering up our wardrobe is going to be our secret weapon when it comes to standing out, practically, this season.

We’re talking about new ways to pile on the clothes, like the ultra-inventive dress over pants look or the complicatedly chic skirt, over jeans, over a shirt. It’s all about layering up your pieces in new ways, affording you endless options. So unlike Rihanna’s CDFA barely-there dress, less is not more this time around—more is more.

How to wear asymmetrical hems »

Asymmetrical hems, whether high fashion or mall style, have become wardrobe mainstays over the past few seasons. Signalled by Proenza Schouler’s now-iconic Fall 2012 wrap skirt, the oft-copied style (ahem, Zara) is the perfect blend of skirt, skort, short and more. And while some styles have reached saturation level (ahem, mullet skirt), asymmetrical hems have proved here to stay because of their versatility—They work in pretty much every situation and wardrobe! Taking some tips from the fashion mavens du jour (our favourite street style mavericks, of course) we show you how to wear asymmetrical hems for another season. Be ahead of the curve, the curve of the hem that is.

Despite North America’s still frigid temperatures, things seem to be somewhat bearable in Paris—that, or the fashion crowd is impermeable to the cold. Could go either way, really.

Yesterday’s styles on the streets showed people shedding bulky coats in favour of quirky sweaters and lighter pieces. Call it the Moschino-effect—ever since its logo-fied collection showed in Milan, graphic prints and novelty sweaters have become the must-have item for Fall 2014. Case in point: Soo Joo playfully sporting the brand’s blockbuster sweater dress and another fashion go-er with the matching chain bag, both with the now recognizable riff on McDonald’s golden arches. Beyond the logo sweater (also seen in a red Carven incarnation) a statement sweater will do just as well. Yasmin Sewell and Miroslava Duma were chatting it up, both in eye-catchingly bright sweaters paired with neutral bottoms. Black sweaters will do just as well—that is, as long as it has a body-spanning trim of fringed tassels. We’d like one in every colour please.

See the street style from outside Paris Fashion Week »

After Milan’s colourful and delightfully wacky getups, the street style from outside Paris Fashion Week Fall 2014 is practically sombre in comparison. We mean that in the best way possible. A lack of pastel coats and flamboyant suits just seems to play into that effortlessly cool Parisian style—slouchy pants and sci-fi garb never looked so good.

With all of the blockbuster shows going on, many models were out and about in between shows. Fresh off the Dries Van Noten runway (we’d recognize the show’s dramatic eyeliner from a mile away) Hanne Gaby Odiele was spotted, first on the street and later taking it all in from the comfort of the back seat. Fellow catwalk star, Canadian model Grace Mahary, was feeling especially sassy in leather on leather, creating a good-humoured stick-up with her finger guns. Soo Joo Park was equally playful swinging her coat tails about, showing off her impossibly long gams in high waisted shorts and over the knee socks.

See the street style looks from London Fashion Week Fall 2014 »

After the tundra-like conditions of New York Fashion Week, the fair weather in London seemed practically tropical for fashion editors and bloggers alike. Shedding their heavy fur and parkas, the outfits at the Fall 2014 shows were playful and outerwear was shot with bright colour and done in shorter lengths.

Euro street style star Yasmin Sewell was the hit of the weekend, proving when in doubt, add more colour. She was first seen in a colour blocked black and orange duster with silver pumps and a blue turtleneck and then later in a gorgeous yellow silk skirt, burgundy platform sandals and a fuzzy blue pullover. Harley Viera Newton meanwhile toughened up a cutesy pink rose patterned dress, with a matching bomber and black accessories. That recognizable pop-art jacket from Prada’s Spring 2014 collection, sported by many at NYFW, including Giovanna Battaglia, made the the jump across the pond as well as numbers from previous collections, including Spring 2012’s coveted car print clutch.

See the British Fashion Awards 2013 red carpet »

Last night, Britain’s most fashionably influential took over the London Coliseum for the British Fashion Awards 2013. A red carpet of elite wearing elite can only be expected at such an affair, but Kate Moss and Gwyneth Paltrow’s looks got our style radar beeping.

The ageless Moss, who was honoured with the Special Recognition award for 25 years in the industry, wore a Spring 2014 Alexander McQueen leather dress with a fur coat. The perforated effect and pleats added texture to the look that was accessorized with a studded clutch, red pout and black Louboutin heels.

Making an appearance to present the International Designer of the Year honour to Miuccia Prada, it’s no surprise that Paltrow chose from the designer’s collection. The dress, a plum and soft pink bodice with a black pleated skirt, was paired with strappy sandals that added to her signature long legs. Side-parted pin straight hair and a rosy lip made for her low-key beauty look.

Monochromatic outfits were once again the trend on day two of Paris Fashion Week. There’s nothing like a bold statement colour to stand out from the rest of the stylish crowd (and get captured by our photographer Guilhem Malissen, of course).

Pulling off the tone-on-tone ensemble is no easy task, but showgoers prove to us exactly why they are fashion week’s street style stars. Stephanie LaCava mesmerized us in an off-the-shoulder emerald green dress, while another stopped us in our tracks in a head to toe bright red ensemble. But really bringing single hue outfits to a whole new level are street stylers who mixed different prints and textures (like a leopard print jacket and patent leather skirt or a striped cropped jacket and polka dot shirt) to make monochromatic ensembles that much more chic.

Spring 2014 fashion week is onto its last city and everyone (and we mean everyone) is flying into Paris for its final and most highly anticipated shows. Chanel, Dior, McQueen, oh my!

We’re already seeing trusty street style stars bring their very best outfits on day one of Paris Fashion Week, and photographer Guilhem Malissen is there to capture the very best. This guy’s shot A$AP Rocky, Robyn and Phoenix, so we trust he’s got the skills.

The sun may have been beaming down on the street style scene during London Fashion Week, but the temperamental weather didn’t fool fashion show attendees. Wrapping themselves up in the chicest of layers, street style stars outside the Spring 2014 shows continued to rock the fall coat trend from plaid to print to bold eye-catching colours. Even Mademoiselle C aka Carine Roitfeld, who was in town to launch the premiere of her documentary, was the epitome of Parisian chic as she strutted down the streets in an anything but ordinary charcoal-grey coat.

Though it looked chilly, many fashion week regulars were not afraid to bare their legs in dresses and skirts of various lengths. Boldest of them all (with a jacket in hand, just in case) was Miroslava Duma who bravely faced the wind in a crop top and a tartan midi skirt.

Gone are the days when Hawaiian prints were only worn by middle-aged men touring through Oahu. From Altuzarra to Alexander Wang, tropical patterns have taken on a new, infinitely more chic form this spring. Jaime King kept her saturated flora and fauna skirt by Proenza Schouler from looking kitschy by opting for sleek black, while Liya Kebede took a pared-down approach to the trend with a nude Proenza Schouler dress flanked by tropical birds from the duo’s fall collection. Yasmin Sewell, on the other hand, opted for an eclectic spin on the trend by pairing her tropical Stella McCartney top with a black-and-white patterned skirt.
