Sure, a classic white shirt has stood the test of time as a go-to piece, but the military shirt packs a bigger punch in the style stakes. Available in a range of versatile colors from camel through to khaki, wear a loose boyfriend style over ripped denim for instant cool points. Alternatively pair with a knee-length prom style skater skirt to add a dose of femininity to a masculine shirt.

Rejoice; the seventies kick flare is back in a big way! The good news is, it’s the most flattering shape of all, in particular for women with curves. The flared shape helps to balance out hips and create the illusion of longer legs when paired with a platform or slight heel. For super-flattering results, try a dark wash hue. Team with a rollneck knit and fringe bag to complete the look.

Hero Piece: The Color Pop Coat

The latest longer-length duster styles are seriously flattering and super-chic.
