Looking for a trench that straddles the line between trendy and classic? Look no further. The trench shape and the check fabric ground this jacket, but the bow makes it more fun and flirty.
$121 (approx) at Topshop.

SPLURGE ALERT!
by John Liu
This piece, the result of a Summer collaboration between Jessica Ogden and APC, was in so high demand that A.P.C. restocked its supply when Fall 09 came out. You don’t often see that happen, especially with more upscale designers (it helps kept exclusivity, if nothing else). The color scheme and slouchy fit definitely make this a summer piece, but waiting until next summer to really wear it a lot will be worth it. (Yes, it’s expensive, but the cost per wear you can get out of it can make it reasonably affordable.) Also, I bought this one for myself – and what is a better endorsement than that?
$110 at APC.

Yeah, this makes us look seasonally dyslexic, but don’t you love this chic wool bomber? We’re digging the toggles and the foldover collar.

Contrast Collars are fashionable right now. Unfortunately, the contrast collar often conjures up images of Gorden Gekko raking in the dough and scheming people out of their hard earned cash. On top of that, you don’t often see it done casually, at least not well.
This may be an exception. This short sleeve piece comes in a great shade of gray. With a contrast collar and a hidden button placket, it combines two hot trends of the moment. Get it while it (and the trend) is hot.
For $165, you’re paying extra for a superior cut, lightweight fabric and, in Robert Geller, a designer label as well.
$165 at Jake.

INVESTMENT PIECE
Between the extra-long six button placket, the soft fabric, and deconstructed details, this is no ordinary henley shirt. John, a proud owner of this shirt, recommends it in putty or light grey.
$218 at Inhabit.

Style tip? The high waistline is extra flattering on longwaisted women. Come April, you can pair it with a colorful spring sundress for an feminine urban look.
$108 (approx) at Topshop.
