Looking For a Non-Basic, 'Going-Out' Top? "Whenever ‘non-basic’ tops get a mention (like in last week’s post), there is always a slew of comments from people who are in the same boat as me and exclusively buy T-shirts, shirts and jumpers. Sometimes, we’re just crying out for variety. So, today, I’ve put together an edit that provides just that. Here’s where I head whenever I’m looking for tops to add interest… RUE SOPHIE* A newer discovery to me, but I found this one hard to whittle down to just the eight. There’s plenty to check out here.

The 14 Best Trench Coats to Buy for Spring "Spring is the time of year when you think about updating your wardrobe with seasonal transition pieces, and a good trench should be the first thing on your list. Trench coats are the perfect staple for those spring days that are cold in the morning and at night but nice and sunny in between.

In Paris, Stylish Women Prefer This Timeless Trend Over Bombers *and* Blazers "More talked about than even bomber jackets and blazers (of all shapes, fits, and materials) this year is the car coat. With a silhouette that dates back to the early 1900s, car coats are often about knee-length, a feature designed to make it easier to sit in a car. They can technically be made of any material, but today's offering is similar to a trench coat and made of cotton twill, linen, or wool. The style also almost always features a single-breasted closure and a collar at the neck. The easy topper has gained some serious traction throughout the early months of 2025, with women in Paris becoming especially attached to the style. Exceptionally dressed locals in the city regularly feature car coats on their feeds, styling them with denim and kitten heels for a laid-back yet sophisticated look."

I Wear Cashmere Year-Round Thanks to This Genius Sweater Alternative "Whenever a cold front rolls in, sweaters are the first wardrobe items to come out of storage—specifically cashmere sweaters. The material is surprisingly warm for how lightweight it feels, and it's a must-have layering piece for fall and winter. But here's a little tip: When the weather turns and temperatures begin to rise, you don't have to ditch cashmere. All you need are a few cashmere vests, the best compromise for transitioning seasons. You can wear them on their own to go sans sleeves or layer long-sleeve button-downs or turtlenecks underneath them if it's still a bit cold outside. There are also multiple versions of cashmere vests, from buttoned ones to V-neck styles to cable-knit textures. To prove just how many options there are on the market right now, I rounded up the best cashmere vests available, including neutral, minimalist ones that will become staple pieces in your closet and bold, colorful alternatives that'll make a strong statement come spring."

I'm Sorry, or You're Welcome—2025 Marks the Skinny-Pant Era, so Here Are 8 Looks to Try "Trouser styles and pants in general tend to move at an especially glacial pace, cycling in and out a decade at a time, so when a shift does happen for our go-to trousers, it's newsworthy. Well, you may not like what I'm about to say next, but I can state with confidence that we're entering a new era of skinny pants. Whether or not we're all ready, skinny trousers are coming for our closets once again. After popping up on the spring 2025 runways, the silhouette is now starting to make its way onto the street and, therefore, onto our feeds. If the idea still shocks you, I'd bet good money that at least one of the eight skinny-pant outfits below will have you warming up to the slim-fitting look. Don't say I didn't warn you. Up ahead, see eight fresh ways to style cigarette pants that are chic, polished, approachable, and very 2025."   Image from Who What Wear "I love this idea because it's shockingly simple—just black pants and a relaxed sweater—but still so striking. Use the combo as the canvas to a few standout pieces of jewelry and a great pair of flats."   Image from Who What Wear "Usually when wearing something fitted, I'd suggest balancing it out with something roomier, but there's something about this sleeveless turtleneck and skinny pants that just, well, works. I think the pumps and slit hems are what keep it all looking elevated."   Shop Rue Sophie’s Pants collection. Read full article - Who What Wear

Just Made the One Fashion Mistake That Leads to Regret Every Single Time "Sometimes, celebrities are just like us, and sometimes, they're not. An event is in Park City, Utah, a town currently covered in white snow and gray sleet. Even so, the musician and actress chose to wear white trousers and boots, a fashion mistake I've made far too many times to commit with my own light-colored wardrobe items ever again. I, on the other hand, own at least three pairs of white or cream bottoms that didn't make it through New York City's winters unscathed. For warmer, drier days, shop 2025's chicest white trousers below."
