- Cinch a pullover style with a tonal belt. Try a stretchy rib for instant curves. Create balanced proportions with a pear-friendly fit and flare silhouette.
- Add definition and create length with placement zips and buttons. Look to Massimo Dutti’s hooded styles and the reimagined cardigan at Reiss for inspiration.
- COS makes the cosy roll neck into a fashion must-have thanks to statement details like power shoulders and a maxi hemline.
- Try biker boots with minis; pointy kitten heels with maxis and ‘90s minimalist boots with classic midis.
