Pastels

Pale, pretty tones are having a moment—and thanks to ladylike silhouettes, these powder pinks and mint greens look all grown up.

Shop the trend: Keep those sweet shades from feeling saccharine by forgoing girly details, like ruffles, and opt for a single, head-to-toe hue.

Crop Tops

They’re a blast from the past. But as matching sets, they bring a sophisticated vibe that’s more refined than rebellious.

Shop the trend: A bare midriff can be intimidating for even the fittest fashionista! Top your crop with a blazer or pair it with a high-waist skirt for a more conservative take.

Art Prints

Bold brushstrokes and painterly patterns elevate any design to an art form.

Shop the trend: Team a standout piece with your favorite basics. Or be a little more daring and go for broke by mixing prints in the same color palette.
