When fall rolls around again, it's inevitable that dressing tends to veer a little modest, with colder weather forcing us to tug on our hemlines and pull on additional layers. But this new nun trend brings a level of asceticism that's even Sister Wendy wouldn't object to. Floor-kissing dresses, crisp white blouses, and more religious iconography than you can shake a pastoral staff at...oh yes, trendy girls are jumping back into the pews, even though we expect them to compliment their white blouses with a whiskey on the rocks. YSL showed us how we might rock the pulpit ourselves, pairing pencil skirts and pumps with a hefty rosary and black habit. Check out some of this season's most divine styles that'll help you rock your Sunday best every day of the week.
