This FIT student, who has transformed into the quintessential New Yorker over the past few months, wears a black blouse, black jeans, black leather gloves, a black scarf, and black beanie. She adds a pair of white Converse for a little contrast against the black, however the dusty rose coat is what really heightens this look. By adding her dusty rose coat, Jess not only elevates this look, she also gives her look a subtle feminine touch and a romantic feel, perfect for Valentine’s Day, which is just around the corner. Although dusty rose may be a duller version of pink, Jess is anything but dull, she is radiant in her dusty rose coat.

If you’re looking to add a little color to your wardrobe, blush is a great choice. This dusty rose tone can soften a harsh head to toe black ensemble. Cool colors and tones tend to recede while warm colors and tones tend to advance, making dusty rose a perfect way to stand out but not be too bold.

The name belongs to the daughter of Maroon 5’s Adam Levine and Victoria Secret Angel, Behati Prinsloo.  To add this trend to your wardrobe without buying a whole new wardrobe, trying buying dusty rose colored accessories to pair with your wardrobe essentials. Dusty rose colored accessories such as bagsshoes, belts, etc. may be the perfect complement to your outfit. Accessories are an excellent and inexpensive way to keep up with trend.
