With the holidays ahead, this is the best time to update your style at SM. Here are some everyday styles you can easily incorporate in your wardrobe as the weather gets chilly, and the season gets a little more hectic every day:
CHECK MATE Checks, plaids and even ginghams made an appearance on New York Fashion Week runways, with Raf Simons at Calvin Klein’s gray plaid covered in clear plastic as the standout. Clearly, all things checks are the breakaway trend of the season. And with oversized and slouchy suiting poised to become a huge trend (think Celine and Balenciaga). SM Woman has interesting silhouettes and eye-catching reincarnations that stand out from the crowd-ruffled shirt dress, one-shoulder top, relaxed pants and more.
READY TO RUFFLE It started with flutter sleeves. Then graduated to peplums. Now ruffles are in full force. And the ruffled life continues to prettify this season at SM, boldly decorating necklines, hemlines, sleeves, one-shoulder tops, skirts, dresses and even shorts and pants.
LAYER WEATHER With this season’s unpredictable weather, be fashionably prepared from early-morning engagements to after-hour drinks by throwing in the perfect polished knits, tailored blazers, cool cardigans and easy jackets into your wardrobe mix.
IN THE BAG For working girls and multitasking moms, utilitarian is the order of the day. With so many essentials and so many places to go, arm candies have gone multifunctional with multiple ways of wearing them. Carry it as a handbag or clutch, or use the ingenious detachable straps to wear on your shoulder or as a crossbody bag, while the youthful backpack is still a staple for the urban fashionista.
THE BOOT CAMP Although these are not considered tropical footwear, boots have walked into local mainstream fashion in style. At SM, stacked heels… laced-up…steampunk-inspired…cut-out… knee-length…these boots are legit made for walkin’ in style. Step forward with confidence, wear with ladylike dresses and skirts, jeans or flowy silhouettes, or with just about anything.
