If the latest trend towards minimalism doesn't float your boat, it's time to start exploring New Frontiers. Designers, such as Marc Jacobs, Burberry Prorsum, Rodarte and Matthew Williamson, have bolded up this season – we're talking layers, clashing prints, and contrasting textures that mix cultural references. This is the new global dressing.
Get creative, let out your inner flair, and stand tall – you'll certainly get noticed. Click on the gallery below to see how you can work the trend in your wardrobe.

Shearling is the texture du jour, which is why we adore this versatile wrap jacket from Toast. Wear it layered over a print dress, skinny jeans or denim skirt. Cinch it in at the waist with a belt or wear it hanging loose. Any which way, it works.

An easy way hit the right mark is to add vibrant accessories, such as hats, scarves and belts. This brushstroke stripe scarf from Kew is a great example.

We love these bandeau boots by eco-footwear brand Mou. Wear them slouched down under a calf-length skirt or stretched over the knee atop a pair of skinny jeans. Cosy, stylish perfection.
