Urban Outfitters - Fall/Winter 2010-2011

Urban Outfitters' offering may sometimes be a bit too hippie/schoolgirl/bohemian for the Frenchy wardrobe, but that does not mean that this American label has nothing to offer in its catalogs, especially when they are full of inspiring looks.

Once Indian summer is over and the mild temperatures behind us, maintaining a stylish look can quickly become problematic, especially when the thermometer really starts to fall. For a good number of us, the boots/slims/pullover/duffel coat quickly becomes the recurring winter-morning wardrobe theme.

This is when we start devouring lookbooks from trendy labels hoping to find a few style combinations capable of revitalizing our wardrobes with energy and coziness. Far from stingy with funky fashion details, the latest Urban Outfitters fall/winter catalog in particular should give us what we need to a twist to our casual looks.

For non-snow days, we could try a pair of derbies or gold ankle boots. Worn with plain leggings and a little British schoolgirl coat, this could result in a energetic yet easy-to-wear ensemble.

For those who would like to avoid falling into the total winter-sports look - like those addicted to alpine sweaters and hiking boots - they could take a lesson from the Urban Outfitters stylists by mixing their large knits with more girly pieces.

During the day, cable knit sweater dresses go well with lace-up, flat ankle boots and swiss dot stockings, whereas for evening, the short cable stitch pullover/satin or sequined black pants worn above the ankle/pumps combination will result in an adventurous trio not without potential.

In other news, we note that the boyfriend jean has come back this winter, worn with little feminine tops and/or slightly vintage girly boots.

We also note that the smart and sophisticated looks for New Year's can be given a second life via a mountain-print or retro sweater vest, a pair of lined flat boots, or a denim shirt.
