Puff sleeves, in particular, made a bold and refreshing appearance on coats, jackets, and blazers that billow slightly lower down the shoulder, exuding a romantic and contemporary take on the trend that’s been going strong for several seasons now.

The neutral hue dominated the runways from head to toe and came in various fabrics, lengths, silhouettes, from suits to chunky knits and striking overcoats. The key to the tonal look is mixing various shades (and fabrics) within your ensemble, from darker ash tones to lighter heather shades.
