White Shoes

White Shoes

 Let white pumps be the exclamation point to a patterned or colorful look. It’s a neutral, so you can rarely go wrong.

Global Prints

Global Prints

 India, Asia, Africa…take inspiration from world cultures to inform your springtime garde-robe. Like florals, the more prints the better. If you’re unsure, rock a full on printed dress or match a top and skirt like Solange.

Gladiator Heels

Gladiator Heels

Get your fingers poised to lace up and buckle your sandals! Gladiator heels are back, but they’re more adventurous than ever. Most versions lace up to your ankles–some go up to your thigh. Rock ‘em with a short hem to truly let them shine.

Bold Florals

Bold Florals

Flowers in spring skews obvious, though this season, step it up a notch. Mix and match like Beyoncé or go full full on floral like Ashley Madekwe, slipping on a top and matching bottom.

Leather

Leather

Leather in the summer? Why yes. Yes, indeed. The sturdy fabric has carried over from fall to enter into our spring lexicon, thanks to lighter weights, brighter colors, and skin baring cut outs. To wear this well, go for perforated or sliced leather looks, or strapless tops that allow for a bit of ventilation.

Cropped Tops

If you’ve been up in the gym, working on your fitness, cropped tops are for you! Your best accessory would be flat abs. Go for high waisted to fudge it a bit.
