How to Look Sleek in Pajamas

When it comes to pants, I always rely on my skinny jeans: somehow the tight-on-the-bottom, slouchy-on-top silhouette always appealed to me because it seemed to tuck, conceal and emphasize all the right places. But who can escape the pervasive pajama pants and wide-legged trousers that have been filling up the racks since spring / summer began? If Resort 2015 is any indication, these billowy fellows will be around for a while, so I’ll attempt to prepare myself for the onslaught, starting off with this slimming, striped, silky pair.

Urban Frontier

If you haven't already started a daily shoulder press routine, now's the time to begin. Not like we're trailblazing new frontiers here, but off-shoulder pieces have really caught my eye because of the different, sophisticated ways you can wear the trend. While the billowy boho-chic versions of this trend look excellent on the beach or at a music festival, I adore when this style is rendered in more structured, form-fitting fabrics, like this gorgeous Issa top. The sleeves here are perfect for accessorizing with some gold bangles, but make it really modern & edgy by sporting an asymmetrical pair of earrings and donning some skins.
