The result is confusion and chaos. There is a quiet trend toward pieced and patchwork fashions that combine many patterns in one garment. Fashion reporters won't likely talk about it. Patchwork is too ordinary, too country, too low budget. Trendy cow and camouflage blobs and botches don't work in real-life clothes and will appear quickly dated.
Many jackets hang softer due to less interfacing and shoulder padding.
Suits are not cookie-cutter in style but designed in a wider range of feminine to sportive detailing. Suits available this season accommodate a wider range of lifestyles, personality traits, and values. Body conscious jackets, nipped in at the waist, give a sexy spin to matched suits. One new twist on de-constructed stitching is the split seam. It does create a new looking visual impression, but the first time you try to work or sit down in a skirt or dress stitched like this, its's going to pull apart.
