I´m sure that by now you already have at least one or two jackets that closely resemble what we´re seeing at the runway. Got a leopard print jacket? A biker? A patterned or printed jacket? A fur? A black jacket of any style? Or a military? Rest assured that you can restyle them to create up-to-date looks without blowing the bank.
You really don´t need to go buy new toppers, you simply need new ideas for sprucing up what you already have. The concept is very much the same as reviving your last year´s winter coats, you want to look of-the-moment yet not necessarily spending or hoarding new stuff. Here thirteen tips I gathered from the stage.

The Black and Tangerine
Chadwick Bell
Sure, black and tangerine is a Halloween color combo, but it also proves to be high-end designers´favorite. You´re almost always going to see these shades blended together on every fashion show. So get that good old black jacket – moto leather or blazer – and use it as a topper on anything tangerine.
