Be inspired by the 3.1 Phillip Lim Autumn/Winter ’13 show and invest in some serious separates this season. From a statement coat to the perfect leather skirt, here’s how to do Lim’s laidback NY cool this winter
Lim’s Layering
This look is all about layering – the boyish shirt under a warm knit, a leather skirt peaking out of this season’s statement coat. Create a texture clash with luxurious leather against shearling and wool, and add some racy thigh high boots to inject a little drama.

3.1. Phillip Lim Quilted Boxy Jacket
This quilted coat was the standout of 3.1 Phillip Lim’s AW13 collection. Wear it open over a shirt and fine knit to show off the quilted, zip and leather collar detailing.
3.1. Phillip Lim Embossed Neoprene-Effect Jersey Skirt
Channel your inner rock chic with Lim’s biker skirt. The sugary pink shade will keep things soft, so don’t be afraid to add an oversized boyish jumper and sexy over-the-knee boots.
Dune Black Roldan Leather Over-The-Knee Boots
The 3.1 Phillip Lim show was styled with an array of thigh-high boots from classic tan to black. This Dune pair is destined to take your look from tomboy to vixen in an instant.
French Connection Otter Knits Jumper
Knitwear is a must for the chilly season, so invest in French Connection’s understated camel knit. Pair with everything from your favourite skinnies to a tough-luxe leather mini.
Premium Wool Lined Biker Coat
High street favourite Topshop have channeled Lim’s Autumn/Winter look perfectly with this powder pink biker – and for a fraction of the price.
Inverni Cashmere and Fox Fur Beanie
Continue this look’s textural contrast, top to toe with Inverni’s luxurious cashmere beanie.
Leather Ankle Boot With Wide Heel
If thigh-high heels seem a little risqué, go for simple tan ankle boots instead – much more office appropriate.
