Ballet-Inspired Dresses
Pretend you’re a Black Swan—or a white or even ecru one—in a flowing arabesque-ready gown like those shown on the Chloe runway. Need a slightly less ethereal (read: see-through) design? This one should do the double pique trick.
'70s Single-Sleeve Tops
Bring a little Studio 54 into your wardrobe (sans the Bianca Jagger white horse) with a flowy shoulder-baring blouse from Marc Jacobs. Pair one with an equally slouchy skirt for a disco goddess effect or add to slim-fitting jeans for a more millennial take.
Lace Skirts
Go seductive in lingerie-inspired black and white pieces like those seen at Nina Ricci. A full skirt with a lace overlay can sweetly sashay from office to cocktail hour—even without an accessory swap.
Colorblock Dresses
Come on, get happy in a cheerful colorful dress like those from Prabal Gurung's spring collection. Add patent sandals to a smile-inducing sheath for a full nod to the mod.
Denim Shirts
Y’all listen up: the jean shirt is no longer tied to the hokey western yoke. Try a loose denim tunic like Stella McCartney's subtle design for spring. Or this simple shell silhouette looks equally chic with slim trousers or shorts in a bright print.
Striped Tunics
Sporty rugby stripes have never looked as girly as they did on the Isabel Marant runway for spring. A more muted version conjures a romantic boho vibe when layered over a floral skirt.
Boldly Printed Pieces
The secret to mixing eye-popping patterns? Choose graphic designs in the same color family a la Diane von Furstenberg. For a more conservative take on the trend, opt for a sleeveless sheath in a single oversize print.
Embellished Leather Jackets
You don't need a motorcycle to rock these leathers. Sparkling embellishment (like the studs on Burberry's cropped runway version) add a feminine touch to tough biker cuts.
