INSTANT GRATIFICATION

With summer finally over and the new collections finally appearing in stores the time has come to get serious about autumnal dressing. Translating runway flights of fancy into tangible ensembles is difficult but sometimes you see a piece so fully realized that the look creates itself. Even a moment’s glance at Jakub Polanka‘s F/W wares ( Jakob Polanka F/W Lookbook ) shows you that edge and ease are not mutually exclusive. Imagine any of his dramatically shaped toppers worn over a simple pair of skinny jeans or those deconstructed harem pants with a snug white tank. Sometimes all it takes is one choice item to make all the difference – my eye is on the slick black patent trench.
