Elle's Fall A To Zee Trends: Zippers

Ever been told to "zip it?" Chances are it was in reference to your mouth and not your clothes. Lucky for us, fashions speak louder than words, so the next time you're told to "zip it," why not use the opportunity to try your hand at the zippered trend? Even the simplest basics get a cool dose of downtown edge with the addition of an exposed zipper, like Miss Sixty's long-sleeved tee. For a rugged twist on a classic style, pull on Phillip Lim's trench-style skirt with a silver zip panel. If you think zippers are only for clothes and handbags, think again- jewelry's in on the action too. Just look at Khoon Hooi's metallic masterpiece- the light fabric is perfectly juxtaposed with swirling, undone zippers for a raw and yet still refined result. A pair of delicately zippered gloves serves as a more subtle nod to this trend, while a zip-front dress in purple is equal parts sexy and playful.
