Transitional weather dressing is a conundrum within itself. Just HOW do you balance looking stylish with weather appropriateness in a climate that, let’s be real, isn’t always cold enough for thick over-coating come winter? Strategic layering with denim is the answer.  

The latest denim trend to cure your layering needs is the trophy jean jacket, a pieced-together look that’s vastly stylish and ultimately updated. Fashion is a moody bitch and this trend brings us dangerously close to the late 90s all over again. But no, I’m not talking those DIY “craft-gal” iron-on patches that you dabbled with at school in an attempt to simply BE Brenda Walsh. The new denim is about a glam redux, whether you opt for studs and sequins via Marc by Marc Jacobs or a stand-out flamingo patchwork by way of Etre Cecile. Layer yours over a peasant blouse and cotton dresses now, knitwear later.
