OUTERWEAR IS IN
“This spring, a jacket-first approach to styling is a must. I’m seeing lots of trench coats, both traditional lengths that go past the knees and cropped, swingy versions that speak to elevated style. Bold outerwear in bright colors or with chunky hardware will do the heavy lifting in your outfit. A tip: Make sure your statement coat is belted so it doesn’t overwhelm your shape.” —Neepa Sikdar, owner and stylist, Accessible Style, Oakland
