Bottom Row (left to right): Louis Vuitton, Annhagen, Robert Geller, Yves Saint Laurent
What: This season, ditch the neon colors and grab the underrated: mustard yellows, purples, greens and blues. These colors are available in everything from outerwear to pants.
With: Wear one key “pop” color; two if you’re bold. Highlight them by wearing various shades of black and gray. Also try layering different materials for depth and interest.

What: The playfulness of a kid in oversized pieces + the sophistication of a working adult. DO buy oversized sweaters, vests, button downs, waistcoats, etc. DON’T size up on your pants/trousers.
With: Keep the pants slim and the tops oversized. Play around with layers of clothing that do not usually go together (ie: button down over sweater, sweater vest over blazer). Stick with clean traditional shoes. Your look is already busy enough with the play of the proportions.

Bottom Row (left to right): Attachment, Maharishi, Adam Kimmel, Yohji Yamamoto
What: Fitted and relaxed plaid outerwear with a burst of color or dulled down. Unique flannel that stands out from the crowd and utility inspired (ie. Adam Kimmel) pieces. Earth toned neutrals for bottoms and boots ranging from chukkas to lace ups and pull-on.
With: Play with pieces, mixing the hyper masculine with softer fashion forward pieces. Stick to a color palette of greens, deep blues, dark grays, and earthy browns.

What: Switch out the jeans and traditional trousers. This season is all about mixing it up. With a new collision of materials, silhouettes, and a splash of color, nothing is off limits. Be on the look out for tapered sweats, excessive pleating, and relaxed loose fits.
With: Focus on your overall silhouette. If going with a super relaxed bottom, bring the top half in and make it slim. If you’re working with tapered bottoms, the options are endless depending on your individual style. Keep it slim, but not as narrow as your bottom or wear exaggerated portions; skinny bottom, oversized top.

What: Deep hues of red, burgundy, and purple found in everything from pants to sweaters.
With: Try pairing these pieces with clothes of complimentary colors like gray, brown, burnt orange, and olive green. For an extra punch, try layering different shades of the same base color.
