Carpenter pants and overalls abound. The more adjustable straps and toggles, the better. New toggle pants take on the look of costume with too many toggles that become confusing and time consuming. Where's the utility in that. Day backs, bulked up versions of the 80's fanny packs, continue to make headlines.
Basic blazers are generally wise buys.
Shirtwaist and float dresses are comfortable and flattering options. So don't limit yourself. Matching dress and jacket or coat combinations are some of the best new looks available. Strapless evening dresses are back in the spotlight. They're simply elegant on slim figures and wonderful to wear if you have somewhere to wear them.
