7 New Pieces from Stella McCartney You Have to See

Stella McCartney is a long-time favorite here at EcoSalon. Whether it’s her vegan products or her extensive charity involvement, Stella is, without question, one of the biggest names in ethical fashion.

Her latest line is no exception. Debuting at Manhattan’s Convent of the Sacred Heart last Tuesday, Stella McCartney’s Pre-Fall 2015 collection is abound with the signature faux fur (her clientele “want[s] the fake fur alternative,” she told Women’s Wear Daily), oversized coats and generous sweaters so strongly associated with her designs. One trend of note is the universal nature of the pieces; though classified as Pre-Fall, many of them can easily adapt to warmer temperatures and spring fashion trends.

We picked seven pieces from Stella McCartney’s latest collection that will keep you covered, be it February or June.

This white top, accented with a black stencil print, will look great over leggings and under a long blazer throughout the winter months. Come the spring thaw, lose the layers and pair it with a belt to create a shirt-dress. For the more modest, a pair of black shorts and strappy sandals.

It’s easy to have fun with animal prints when there’s no fur involved. These leopard-inspired shoes work as a distinct accessory year-round. Combine them with a black pantsuit in colder temperatures, swapping the dark trousers for loose, white linen bottoms after Memorial Day.

Maxi dresses have dominated the streets of summer for a few seasons now, showing no sign of fading. A rare maxi appearance before spring is always refreshing, especially when creatively worn with outerwear. This one will prove winter-worthy if topped with a cozy trench and ankle boots.

Everything old is new again: An adage particular accurate when it comes to the jumpsuit. This black one-piece is timelessly chic, with a sexy strapless top that will translate into a hot look for summer. Until then, throw a brightly-colored blazer and scarf over it to keep warm.

Wearing white can be dangerous, especially in the winter, with its grimy snowbanks and higher risk of soup spillage. Stella dares us to be bold with this head-to-toe milky ensemble. The good news: The skirt will make for a delightfully airy addition to any summer wardrobe, brilliantly complemented with a vivid top or open-toed stilettos.

Winter fashion has earned a poor reputation for being monochrome and drab. Accessories are a valuable tool in beating that stereotype, and this mustard shoulder bag fits that description. Its cheery hue will also serve well in the summer sun, adding a splash of color to the aforementioned white apparel.

About those shoulder-baring tops: Strapless clothing and sparkling accessories are a perfect match. A chunky pendant or sultry drop earrings, like these, pair beautifully with such pieces. Another pleasingly season-agnostic attribute of jewelry: In general, it’s weather-resistant.
