Trend Alert: Asymmetrical cuts

assymmetrical cuts skirts

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.

Here’s Your Coffee Break’s edit of the best asymmetrical styles out there this summer:
