MARC JACOBS MARCH TRADEMARC TRENDS As the days become increasingly longer and the ice begins to thaw, the inevitable question will spring into mind: what pieces will have the staying power to march me through the upcoming seasons? While black may seem too drab and pastels too wishful thinking, utilitarian neutrals are the perfect transition colors to make ideal additions to your wardrobe. 5 uniform-inspired trends– a structured dress, mini skirt, button down, carry-all bag, and the ever emblematic military jacket - are easy and versatile (but not obvious) choices that are season-generic and are comfortable and casual enough to tone down the most formal of outfits. Mixing pieces with one another is imperative to accommodate the temperature fluctuations, so examples are given on how to wear various items both in the warmer and cooler weather. Don’t be afraid that the camo-palate pieces will blend into the background—the expert tailoring, unexpected cuts, and modern details of these pieces work together to become the major factors that will set you apart from the crowd.
