Last week, Jones New York hosted an event in their showroom to celebrate the latest episode of JNY Style Miles. And they brought in none other than JNY Style Guy, Lloyd Boston.
The showroom floor was filled with my favorite fellow fashion bloggers, as we received a tour through the latest in JNY style.
The best part?
Hearing Lloyd offer his expert style tips firsthand.
1) Belts – Lloyd stressed the importance of one of the sometimes overlooked accessories, the belt. You can wear belts to emphasize your waist, or even worn over a blazer. According to Lloyd, a belt can even take an outfit from day to night.
2) Keep it simple – Lloyd believes that sometimes we have the tendency to over-accessorize. Rather than pairing a brown dress with tons of baubles, he suggests simply carrying a bag with a shot of color like orange.
3) Duets to the rescue – JNY offers duets, dress shirts attached to sweaters and dresses. These looks give a sophisicated, layered look without any of the extra bulk.
4) From your “desk to dinner” – Especially for the New York woman, it’s often difficult to find the time to change before meeting your friends for an after-work dinner. Lloyd suggests simple transitions. swap out your dress pants for a pair of skinny jeans paired with the blazer you were already wearing for a chic, evening look.
And what are some huge trends for fall?
1) It’s all about jewel tones – Jones New York offers several black and white cardigans, tops, and pants that are perfectly paired with bowled colors. Switch up a black cami with a bright one, or add a bold scarf to an all-to-corporate pants suit.
2) A little bit o’ shine – Whether it’s through metallics, faux-leather, or sequins, adding just a tad of shiny will add life to your fall wardrobe.
