3 Trends to Adopt—and 3 to Ignore—According to Mimi Cuttrell
Celebrity stylist Mimi Cuttrell is responsible for the style of some of the best-dressed people in fashion. Yep, everyone from Gigi and Bella Hadid to Priyanka Chopra and Sara Sampaio rely on her expertise every time they step out of the house—at which point their outfits immediately land on my list of must-repeat looks. As someone who knows what it takes to put together a head-to-toe look that will be photographed anywhere from the red carpet to the sidewalks of NYC, she’s an expert I always turn to for of-the-moment fashion advice.
Curious to find out which trends are on her radar right now, I asked her to share her expertise for the season ahead. Here, Mimi Cuttrell is sharing the three trends you should adopt and three you should definitely skip. Go on to find out which ones made the cut and shop the pieces to add to your wardrobe.
Adopt: Low Heels
"Say goodbye to towering stilettos—it’s kitten heel season! Not only will your feet thank you, but try a pointed-toe shoe for a chic and timeless look."
Shop kitten heels:
Ignore: Anything Uncomfortable
"When you don't feel good, you don't look good!"
Shop comfortable fashion:
Adopt: Simple Basics
"Less is more! Keep things simple."
Shop simple essentials:
Ignore: Fur
"No fur! Period. There are quality faux-fur options to keep you warm and ethically fashionable."
Shop faux-fur coats:
Adopt: Great Basics
"Never underestimate the basics. Everyone should own a great white tee, a sexy black underwire bra (I love the fit of Victoria's Secret Incredible Plunge Bra), and a classic pair of jeans. It's easy to build up by adding a belt or a printed sock peeking out."
Shop fashion basics:
Ignore: Skinny Jeans
"Avoid skinny jeans. They will always be a staple, but elevate your fall fashion by trying a new, fun cut, such as a cropped hem, high slit, and or a kick flare."
Shop anti-skinny jeans:
