Just like all artistic movements, fashion trends can be rather reactionary and are much like a clock's pendulum: one season they swing one way, the next, it's the exact opposite. But on occasion, the oscillating plumb manages the deft trick of being in two places at once. This season happens to be one of those rare and noteworthy times. On one end of the spectrum, the reigning houses of Balmain, Lanvin, and Roberto Cavalli grabbed headlines with conspicuously opulent looks consisting of lust-worthy lam dresses and brocade jackets that added up to a very disco Versailles look. However, the flip side is equally intriguing and thrilling in its own right, thanks to the minimalist sensibilities championed by Celine, Stella McCartney, Giambattista Valli and The Row. Just as directional as the aforementioned baroque-and-roll-inspired styles, the markers of this pared-down look are neutral colors, clean and well-executed lines, and a mixture of subtly luxurious fabrics. The resulting ensembles offer a strikingly powerful and cerebral approach to dressing, which we adore.

Over the past few seasons, the button-up has certainly been a major staple in all the most fashionable closets. Whether it has turned up as an oversized boyfriend shirt or a sleek, ladylike piece, we've seen a slew of styles come into vogue. But these days, the top option is neither overly masculine or super girly, but manages to walk the fine line in between. The piece in question, the denim shirt, is not a revolutionary item, but the way it's being worn is certainly inspirational. Though its associations traditionally fall on the more utilitarian side—think: rugged Hollywood icons (like Steve McQueen and Clint Eastwood) or even spring's recent denim-on-denim trend—today's approach to the jean top is decidedly different. Whether it's styled as a part of an uptown-chic look or roughed up for hipster appeal, the denim shirt works in a variety of ways, hence today's Trend Report! Read on for all the information you need to incorporate this key piece in your wardrobe or give your old favorite shirt a new-for-fall feeling.
