HiLo: Trench Wardrobe-Fare

Ruffles have always been an accent that speaks of frivolous fun, and they're positively charming when put to this pair of spring-pale trenches. Throw in a smattering of gold-hued hardware and it's absolute magic.

These trenches are two of a kind and equally covetable, so how do you choose? Let's make it easy. Lovely as the Valentino on the left may be, its $1100 price tag poses a poor front against Juicy's $300 Daisy Ruffle Coat.

You can shop the better deal at UrbanMinx.

Cardis Keep You Covered

Long Cardigans at Lela Rose, Alexander Wang, and Michael Kors.

Cardigans can be the perfect transitional piece in the months to come. In quite a few climes, fall is in full swing and the right cardi can keep you warm and then last well into the warmer days of spring.

Stay on trend for three straight seasons with a long cardigan over your mini dress or a blouse and skirt combo (a la Lela Rose) - skinny belt optional. Or use your cardigan to play with textures, as Alexander Wang does. We wouldn't recommend the strictly runway look of the bottomless Michael Kors cardi, but the long cut can still be flattering with a cute pair of shorties or leggings.

Proof is in the Pattern

In stark and welcome contrast to last winter's washed out whites and edgy, minimalist darks, this coming season's styles are an absolute roar of colour. Reminiscent of whichever eras you might attach the world 'golden,' the runways have turned flashy with a flood of pattern-rich shades.

More noticeable is the shift from the simple classic coat to its bright new cousin - detailed with anything from pretty lemon plaids to modish spots. A personal favorite is the flashback coat, cut in a relaxed vintage fit and printed in posh 60s shades.

If high-saturation hues don't tickle your fancy, the more traditional monochromes remain with a bit of a twist. For an updated look try a fun lined look or some high society houndstooth.
