Laughing at Boden and Sezane. Are DC women fashion trend setters? |

Funny. Of course not, but something a little different than what I would wear to work. The deep V neck sweater someone posted is something I would wear on a date night. |

I don’t wear any of that excepting some Boden pajamas. Desigual is UGLY - all of it. It’s worn exclusively by failed artists with body issues. |

HIDEOUS. Shirt and boots are capital crimes. Do not darken this board any longer. Be gone. |

DP. Are you the Desigual poster? And you’re calling that mess “fashion trend setting”?

+ a million I actually thought the PP’s post was satire. |

The current, on trend option here is a light weight, slightly fitted sweater. I'm not talking about a thick cable knit, but like a ribbed silk cardigan, maybe with a v neck, worn on its own or over a very lightweight camisole. Polos are also in, again fitted with a v neck or with the buttons undone. Something like this:

Cardigans are nice because you can adjust the amount of skin you show based on how much you unbutton it. The key is a thin, fine knit in a body skimming (not tight, but something that will graze your body and show some shape) fabric. Ribbing is great for this. You can wear it with jeans and boots for a casual date, over a slip dress or with a mini skirt to feminize it more, with wide leg trousers for after work drinks, etc. The big patterned and cutwork blouses people are linking might work for some women if that is your style and you can pull it off, but a lot of women won't feel comfortable in that, especially on a date. The thin knits are a lot more versatile and easy to dress up or down with jewelry and other clothes. I am also seeing a lot of knit dresses, if you have the body for it. Look amazing with boots. The more body con it is, the more covered up it should be to balance it. So like a fitted sheath dress, but it's long sleeve with a mock neck, worn with tall boots. |

I like the second from the last- the Reiss one with the asymmetrical neck. I don’t see people wearing tops that tight very often but I think it would be good for a date. |

DP. I find tops like that so distracting. Yes, the neckline is supposed to be asymmetrical, but it looks like a mistake. If I was staring at this person, I'd have to fight the urge to reach over and straighten it out. Very jarring. |

PP here - OP please post what you end up purchasing and if you are happy with it! Many of us are always looking for long sleeve tops

I like it. It wouldn’t suit me but it’s interesting. A thin ribbed ivory cardigan does not interest me. |

The look now also leans away from details like prints/florals or embroidery or any of the stuff Anthropologie was known for and more toward solids and stripes. |
