This year, count on the v-neck top to take over some prime real estate in your closet– in the form of the extra deep v-neck.
Worried about being overtly suggestive? For an appropriately suggestive day look, we recommend layering with a tank underneath. Go ahead–take the plunge!

These titanium frames have been seen on Brad Pitt, if you’re into following that sort of thing.

As we’ve mentioned before, voluminous sleeves are going to be Huge this fall, as seen on the runways of Peter Som and Oscar de la Renta. A look at StyleBytes indicates that the trend is going strong in Europe as well–look at the sleeves on that plaid Balenciaga. These sleeves are a great way to experiment with volume. We’ve found that the key to keeping this look updated is to make sure the volume is not near the upper arm and shoulders, which will indeed make you look ‘theatrical.’

Just because you’re at the office doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice your sense of style. Show off your preppy side with an on-trend sweatervest over a button-down shirt, and spice things up with a pair of cropped pants. Add a pair of killer flats, and you’re good to go!
Where to Wear: This outfit is strictly Business Casual–it’s good for a polished look at a more casual workplace. We’d have to recommend skipping this one for offices with more strict dress codes–don’t try this one at Corporate. The cropped pants, in particular, might raise a few eyebrows.
Fashion Formula = Button Down Shirt + Sweatervest + Cropped Pants + Flats.

Issue XXVIV* of the Friday Fashion Hotlist: a weekly compilation of the
cutest and coolest stuff Style Intelligence Report saw out there this
week.
This
week, we’ve got the skinny on some awesome springtime jackets!
For women:
Yeah, we know that Biker jackets have been In for ages, but we love the clean, fresh feeling of this one. Maybe it’s because it’s not basic black, maybe it’s the oversized collar (oh-So-big right now…and at least through Fall 06), but we just can’t get enough of it.
And for Men:
Forest Green Cotton Hooded Bomber Jacket | $197 at Bluefly
Classically cool cotton bomber perfect for the crisp pre-Spring air.
*Hey, are the roman numerals confusing to anyone else?
Correction: Should be XXIX. Less confusing. And even better…correct. No more writing at 3am =P

We can’t believe these jackets have just now landed in the fashion forefront because there are so many great reasons to wear them. There’s something effortlessly chic about the swingy midsection and girly three-quarter sleeves. They’re also a simple way to experiment with volume, if you’re averse to, say, poufy tulip skirts. Our favorite way to wear this jacket? With a long, fitted top (to balance out the crop and the width), a long chain and your favorite going-out jeans.
DVF One-Button Cropped Jacket| $425 at Intermix
Ruffled Bleached Denim Jacket | $88 at Arden B.
DVF Long Luce Jacket | $625 at ShopBop
Rebecca Taylor Jacket | $252 (sale) at Sway & Cake
