Ted Baker Dresses On Sale “I am in a California state of mind,” said Band of Outsiders designer Scott Sternberg at his pre-fall presentation. “At the end of summer, I see the beach and picture Joan Didion there.” That image of Didion conjures an alluring vision of seventies West Coast living, and it’s that free-spirited and nostalgic lens on Americana that colors the new collection.Hand-knit Peruvian cardigans with a reassuring vintage heft were paired with whimsical floor-sweeping silk skirts and thigh-grazing minis, while chunky sweaters were worn on top of floral patterned skirts. Overall, the look fell somewhere between Didion’s cool, unfussy aesthetic and Jane Fonda’s wardrobe in the seventies classic Klute.As for the signature tomboy charm we’ve come to know and love from Band? It came through in preppy tailored blazers and sharply cut trousers. Yet, it was the oversize, rugged, fleece-lined wool jackets that stood out the most here; the kind of reliable, stylish transition pieces that you’ll want to wear from coast to coast.
