Trend Alert: Assymmetrical Cuts
Trend Alert: Asymmetrical cuts
This season, the straight hem just doesn’t cut it anymore. Instead, it’s all about jagged lines, sharp folds and edgy points. Zippers and studs add extra punk-inspired detailing, while a luxe biker jacket or bold-shouldered blazer toughens up your look. Strappy sandals favoured by the street style crowd work best and break up these heavy-duty looks.
