Introduction
Every Friday, we curate the most inspiring style moments and rising trends from the world of fashion. From celebrity ensembles to the pieces gaining traction on the runways, here’s what captured our attention this week.
· The Standout Trend: Skirt-Over-Pants 👗
The Y2K trend of wearing skirts or dresses over pants has made a sophisticated return. This style was recently elevated by Anne Hathaway, who paired a flowy black midi skirt over trousers for a monochromatic look. It’s a testament to how layering can create dimension and intrigue.
· The It-Accessory: The Sweater Vest 🫎
Gal Gadot, Taylor Swift, and Mindy Kaling have all been spotted in sweater vests, cementing its status as the polished fall layer you need. Style it over a collared shirt for a preppy vibe or with a simple tee for effortless cool.
· Our Minimalist Take
At Selfcenter, we believe in the power of foundational pieces. This week, we’re celebrating the structured blazer. It’s the perfect layer to anchor both the skirt-over-pants trend and the sweater vest, adding a clean, defined silhouette to any ensemble.


While the trends are fun, I always come back for your minimalist take. That note on the structured blazer is so true—it’s the anchor of my wardrobe. It’s why I invest in Selfcenter’s timeless pieces.
I appreciate that you highlight the ‘hand-feel’ of trends. The sweater vest trend is everywhere, but I’m holding out for one in a premium merino wool. It’s the quality that makes the trend last beyond a season.
This roundup is so useful! I love seeing what’s current, but I need it to be wearable. Thank you for practical inspiration!
The skirt-over-pants trend intimidated me at first, but seeing it styled so monochromatically here is a game-changer. It finally looks sophisticated, not sloppy. Can’t wait to try it with my wide-leg trousers this weekend!
It’s fascinating how this trend has evolved from its Y2K roots. The modern interpretation is so much more elegant and intentional. It really shows how fashion can reinvent itself while learning from the past.
