Remember when Pantone blew our minds by naming not one, but two colors of the year for 2016? Well, now it’s time you met potter’s clay, the latest It-color to take over fashion. The must-have shade combines brick red and rust with a hint of copper and some burnt-orange goodness thrown in to complement your capsule wardrobe stocked in the desert hues we love so much. Get in on the trend by perusing these 14 items that are guaranteed to set you up for street style domination.
Cooler temps call for gotta-get longline coats and trusty toppers. But instead of hitting up your tried and true shades of gray and camel, opt for the stylish-yet-safe hue of potter’s clay that is well worth the investment.
1. Helene Berman Drapey Longline Jacket in Rust & Black Texture ($285): It doesn’t get much more classic than this duster-length wool coat. This piece of statement outerwear is guaranteed to turn heads, thrown over any outfit you own.
2. Missguided Faux Suede Bomber Jacket ($72): This trendy faux-suede bomber is the It-girl-approved way to embrace the Potter’s Clay trend. The versatile coat will look great styled up for your nine-to-five or edged out for after six.
Tops + Bottoms
When it comes to cold weather, we immediately think about layering potential. Layer your way to street style perfection by opting for separates that are just shy of in-your-face orange or head-turning red.
3. Topshop Twist Front Crop Top ($35): This trendy, one-and-done top gives the cropped top a chic new twist. Thanks to the mock turtleneck and cozy long sleeves, you’ll be cute and comfy when you step out wearing this haute must-have top.
4. ASTR Smocked Tie Neck Blouse ($59): There is no question that boho-inspired blouses instantly lend a touch of sophistication to whatever look you’re wearing, especially when it is in a less expected colorway. Pair this beauty with washed out “mom” jeans or even trend-right patent leather to upgrade it to It-girl status.

Accessories
Call them MVPs or unsung heroes, but either way, accessories have always been the most efficient way to take a look from zero to street-style bait in no time flat. This season, consider soft gloves, minimalist crossbodies and statement scarves among some of your most trusted wardrobe workhorses.
