Fashion People Are Feeling This UK-Based Label—and We’re on Board
While I stock an assortment of labels in my closet, there’s one brand that’s consistently held its own for years: AllSaints. The UK-based label offers cool, downtown-feeling essentials like moto jackets, leather separates, boots, and more that have become staples in my day-to-day life. Some of the top fashion girls out there are also on board with the line, consistently posting looks from the brand on IG.
This season, though, there’s been one outfit from AllSaints that’s completely taken over—a snakeskin jacket-and-skirt set. After first spotting this of-the-moment look on Chrissy Ford’s feed, I was inspired to see how other fashion people wore the look. Then, I took it a step further after I scoped the set online and found myself lost in an endless scroll through all the fall and winter womenswear essentials on the site. Below, I’m showcasing how three women are wearing the IG-favorite snakeskin pieces in question. Plus, I’m highlighting all the other pieces I’m loving from AllSaints now too. Happy shopping.

The 3-Piece Uniform the Fashion Crowd Will Never Ditch
There are certain outfit formulas that just work—and will always work. As the fashion crowd continues to prove, a blazer, a unique top, and jeans are one of those go-to uniforms. Sure, it may seem somewhat basic and not inventive at this point, but there’s a reason the ensemble will continue to be a favorite. Even though it features just three pieces (minus the shoes), the outfit somehow masters that polished and sophisticated yet cool and laid-back vibe. Plus, if you opt for more current silhouettes in general (a checked oversize blazer, for example), the look will undoubtedly feel current every time. Keep scrolling to check out how nine fashion girls are styling the outfit that will always be “in”; then, shop the look too.

3 Trends I’m Wearing With My Anti–Skinny Jeans
Earlier this month, I shared the anti–skinny jeans that I keep getting compliments on, so I figured it only makes sense to share the items I’m wearing with my new style obsession. In addition to being one of the most comfortable pairs (scratch that—the most comfortable pair) of jeans that I own, the baggy denim style has become my go-to this season. I’ve worn the jeans to the office, out running errands, and on dates, and every time, I receive a handful of compliments and comments. When I’m not at the office, I style the super-loose jeans with some sort of cropped situation, like this long-sleeve option from Cotton Citizen and heeled ankle boots. I’m a sucker for a subtly cropped number and think it lends the perfect balance of proportions to the baggy pants.
For more office-appropriate outfits with the ’90s-inspired jeans, I’ve rotated between two looks, both pictured below: 1) a knit sweater and ankle boots and 2) a fitted top with a cool belt. Fresh cardigans are trending this season, so there are several options to wear with the jean style. I also love the idea of wearing the jeans with printed pieces like a belt and a simple top, as shown in photo two. See my baggy-jean outfits in action below, and shop the key pieces you need to re-create my looks along the way.
An Ode to the Underdog of the Animal-Print Trend
Leopard, snake, zebra, tiger… At this point, we’ve collectively embraced so many animal prints that I’ve been starting to wonder how many more can possibly fit on Noah’s F/W 18 ark. No longer being ushered forth calmly two by two, animal prints are being rushed onto store shelves as quickly as we fashion people are buying them, so it’s no surprise we’ve started seeing a certain less-expected print moseying into the fold.
I’m talking, of course, about cow print (and its closely related cousin, dalmatian print). It makes sense, when you really think about it, given fashion’s current fixation on all things Wild West. It’s a bold pattern, to be sure, but the color scheme is neutral (no pink cow prints, at least as far as I’m aware of), meaning it’s an easy one to work into your existing wardrobe without risking being arrested by the style sheriff. Keep reading to see and shop some of my favorite cow-print pieces.
