The fall season is a great time to have fun with your wardrobe. The weather is permitting: perfect for layering pieces, experimenting with looks, and you don’t have to hide behind your coats just yet. Mother Nature is granting us a grace period to mix fashion with function.

The chicest way to wear your coat is to not wear it. Skip the sleeves and opt for slinging your outerwear over your shoulders. It’s a great way to showcase your look and works great in transition, like from the office to a quick meeting or lunch with your friends after shopping.

It’s a great way to add dimension to a monochrome look and layer your favorite fall pieces.

For an edgier look, try half draping your outerwear. The half drape brings balance to the leather on leather. The bolder the better.You may not even need the coat that day, but half drape it just because!
