Jacket:IKKS / Jumper:Blanco / Jewelry:Gina Tricot/Obey / Booties:Supertrash
Juxtaposing a smooth texture against a grainy creates a visual substitute for layering that doesn’t include all of the bulk.
NINI | DALLAS | FASHION CONSULTANT+BLOGGER | NINI’S STYLE
Sweater:Comme des Garçons / Leggings:Balenciaga / Booties:Fendi / Bag:Givenchy
Shades of grey and black are punctuated with texture and visual interest. Ever cognizant of the total look, even Nini’s shopping bag incorporates seemlessly into her outfit.
NICOLE | AUSTRALIA | VINTAGE BOUTIQUE OWNER | GARY PEPPER VINTAGE
Blazer:Bought in Tokyo / Shorts:Vintage / Blouse:Vintage / Heels:Miu Miu / Clutch:Vintage
Nicole knows complementary details create a cohesive outfit. Here, a Peter Pan collar mimics the curved edges in the clutch’s gold hardware.
AURELIA | PARIS | MEDIA | FASHION IS A PLAYGROUND
Blazer:Silence + Noise / T-Shirt:Zara / Skirt:Zara / Bag:Vintage / Heels:Robert Clergerie
Lighten up the weight and sobriety of a tweed blazer by adding a piece from the opposite end of the sartorial spectrum. Here, Aurélia uses a graphic tee for a tongue-in-cheek interpretation of the uniformed school girl.

Ilanka’s forte is making high street style look rich. Not only does she have a great eye for subtle details, but she excels at synergy: all of her pieces look as if they’re from the same, cohesive collection.
NICOLE | AUSTRALIA | VINTAGE BOUTIQUE OWNER | GARY PEPPER VINTAGE
Top:Thrifted / Shorts:See by Chloé / Pumps:Top Shop / Clutch:Vintage
Nicole takes her proclivity for black + white in a softer, less stark direction by incorporating softer neutrals like ivory.
AURELIA | PARIS | MEDIA | FASHION IS A PLAYGROUND
Sweater:Zara / Shorts:Zara / Clogs:Zara / Hat:Vintage / Socks:Tabio
As the temps cool down in Paris, Aurélia brings out the knits. There’s no need for longjohns, yet, however. Cold-weather materials incoporated in her leather shorts and wool socks perfectly aid in the transition from summer to fall.
FIL | MILAN | STUDENT | THE THREE F
Blazer:Dior Homme / T: Bought in London / Foulard:Alexander McQueen / Bag:Prada /
Loafers:Church’s / Sunglasses:Marc Jacobs
Fil epitomizes Italian style: clean lines, tailored pieces made of rich textiles, and above all, the concept of neatness counting. Even in his casual state, every piece fits perfectly and is in its proper place.
ISA | ITALY | STUDENT | 7 HEURES DU MAT
Jacket:agnès b / Blouse:Vintage (Mother’s) / Shorts:Cheap Monday / Bag:Jean-Charles de Castelbajac / Boots:Doc Martens
Isa proves that casual and polished can coexist beautifully without being too precious. Hosiery and a navy jacket dress up the cut-offs and Docs in a subtle way.
NATHALIE | ITALY | LAW STUDENT | MY FLOOR IS RED
Jacket:Topshop / Shirt:French Connection / Shorts:Zara / Booties:DinSko / Bag:Miu Miu / Tights:Calzedonia / Belt:Claudio Orciani
Remember a neutral can be a pop color, too. Nathalie’s palette is somber with muted tones, but she brilliantly uses a café au lait-colored bag as if it were the brightest hue in the spectrum.
BARBRO | OERNES, NORWAY | FASHION JOURNALIST+BLOGGER | BARBRO ANDERSEN
Sweater:BikBok / Shorts:DIY / Hat:H+M / Hosiery:Cubus / Boots:Asos
Just because the mercury is slowly dropping doesn’t mean that it’s time to store the shorts. Cold-weather fabrics like leather, tweed, and wool wear well in briefer lengths.

Coat:MNG / Sweater:Zara / Dress (worn as skirt):Sfera / Bag:Vintage / Booties:Asos
Layers are at their chicest when staying within a similar color family. Length is also created, but without the severity of a purely monochromatic palette.
SIMONE | BROOKLYN | STANTON + WILLIAMS STYLE THERAPY
Jacket:Theory / Blazer:Theory / Shirt:Isabel Marant / Pants:Martin Margiela / Oxfords:Steven / Bag:Prada
In New York, April can mean dry and over 70° or wet and below 50°. Times like these call for layering, even if it means a jacket over a jacket. It beats that down coat that doubles as a sleeping bag.
