California Boho

Light, airy pieces in Gingham and Florals are carefree and ideal for warm summer months. Just keep it modern: balance floaty tops with structured shorts or trousers, and don’t go overboard with accessories.

Tailored 70s

Clean lines and exaggerated silhouettes are still big this season – try a structural trapeze dress or high-waisted trousers.

Luxe Sport

Activewear-inspired pieces were all over the runways during Fashion Week: work-friendly sneakers, tops in sleek fabric, neon pullovers, striped accents, and chunky exposed zippers are a few of our favorites.

Pieces to Invest In

We love to follow trends, and we love it even more when a trendy piece can become a wardrobe staple. Invest in these four items this season, and you’ll be set for years to come.

  • A shirtdress can be dressed up for work or down for brunch. Accessorize with a blazer, pumps, and stud earrings – for the weekend, replace your blazer with a slim cardigan and a belt.
  • A Tailored Suit will always be classic – this season, tapered legs and fitted blazers are in. Don’t forget- a great suit can also be worn separately to multiply your outfit options!
  • Leather & Suede, when taken care of, will last for years. Try it in an unusual hue, or with modern details like perforations and color blocking.
  • A Trench Coat is a timeless transition piece – it will transition your wardrobe from winter into spring seamlessly!
