At Ease: The Utilitarian Trend
Utilitarian is having a major moment right now. From mini skirts to shirt jackets, we’re seeing military inspired details, like cargo pockets, brass buttons and trench coat designs, popping up everywhere. While there’s a certain practicality often associated with this particular trend, we can’t help but swoon over the sexy cuts to skirts and dresses or the feminine undertone in the everyday athleisure closet staples. Safari influenced tones mixed with au courant pieces offer up an achingly cool and impeccably elegant aesthetic. Whether you’re jetting off to an exotic locale or heading into the city, these utilitarian styles can seamlessly transition from a casual day running errands to a date night enjoying cocktails and dinner.
