According to J. Crew’s latest catalog, a hookup is the pairing of two (or more) pieces of the same print in a single outfit.
Well, I don’t care what it’s called, but it’s absolutely genius! It’s no secret that I love dresses because it doesn’t take a lot to style them (just add cute shoes, and go!). But a hookup provides the convenience of a dress when I need it, with the added versatility of being able to mix and match the top and bottom with other pieces in my wardrobe. I’ve already gotten my feet wet with a skirt and scarf hookup earlier this year, but something tells me that I’m going to be on the lookout for even more combos this season!
What do you guys think of hookups? Love ’em, or leave ’em?
