Swap This For That

Checked everything was huge for fall, from blazers to pants. Switch it up with a whimsical polka-dot pattern, which is especially adorable on flirty tops.

Vintage-inspired floral tea frocks are charming, girly and lighthearted for warmer days ahead. Wear with slides or sneakers for a feminine off-duty look.

Shorts were witnessed in numerous collections on spring runways, and we're ready to ditch our skirts for them. Polished designs and Bermuda lengths are the fashion-girl choice.

For spring, we're in the market for softer shades. They're utterly delicate and chic (and lilac is positioned to be the It color of spring 2018).

Stark white boots, heels and flats were a staple last season, but something more interesting has been catching our eye—Lucite. Shoes with transparent heels and PVC straps in a variety of hues are sexy, cool and edgy.

Lightweight toppers in technical fabrics are booting thick cold-weather outerwear to the curb. These practical parkas are ideal for spring showers and transitional weather.

When it starts to warm up we immediately reach for straw bags to tote on the street and on vacation. This season's iterations are cuter than ever thanks to standout shapes and embellishments.
