And in turn, I'm hoping this encourages you to try your hand at the trend, too. But it makes me feel good knowing I've invested in a trendy silhouette that will be sticking around into Spring and Summer. Am I just tooting my own horn for being in line with such a prominent trend? Absolutely not. In fact, it's getting bigger than ever, with swingy bishop sleeves, Princess-style shoulders, and '80s-inspired shapes both for day and night popping up all over the runways.

But with a closet full of classic silhouettes and neutral colors, I struggle to achieve impact sans the whole "try-hard" thing (me sporting a maximalist look would be akin to witnessing a mermaid on land: unnatural and technically not even a thing).
