Navy Toggle Cloak, Outside Louis Vuitton

Posted on February 7, 2012 by Marcy Swingle

If you can’t tear yourself away from dark winter colors just yet, at least try experimenting with navy, a lighter, springier neutral. Seen here: a hooded navy toggle cloak outside Louis Vuitton show. The look is a little bit collegiate, a little bit romantic, and all around flattering.

Leaf Greener street style

These Prada stripes really have legs: Nautical stripes are already popping up in stores for yet another season. Bright graphic patterns like this mix on Leaf Greener of Elle China are a great way to usher in the spring. (And you can still stay warm in the process.)

This model off duty wore a layered look of skirt, sweater, coat and matching bag exiting the Donna Karan show. Just leaving a coat unbuttoned can make an outfit more interesting on milder winter days.

Mary Alice Stephenson changed up a basic black coat with a leopard print jacket and geometric disc necklace. Lace up boots are sexy enough for fashion week, but sturdy enough for snow.

As tempting as it may be to envelop yourself in a sleeping bag-like coat every day this winter, cloth versions like Kasia Struss’ are a better choice whenever the weather permits. Here she leaves the Donna Karan show in a tweed coat with a rose in hand.
