True Romance
If you love a good rom-com, the true-romance look is for you. Corset-style detailing and a tulle hem take a classic midi dress to a new level of femme. A cinched waist and a ballerina bun? Hello, perfection.

Office Minimalist
If you’re the boss lady in your girl gang, the office-minimalist look is for you. Best way to give your 9-to-5 wardrobe some interest? Play with textures, and invest in a few hero pieces (ahem, statement wide-leg pants). Top off your power outfit with a classic tote that’s big enough to fit all your girl-boss essentials.

Refined Edge
If your favorite designers are the Alexanders (Wang and McQueen, that is), the refined-edge look is for you. Unexpected materials – like patent leather or shearling – will elevate your everyday style. Amp up the pattern play by mixing a bold striped top with contrasting printed shoes. Statement, made.

Casual Cool
If you love being comfortable yet chic, the casual-cool look is for you. A super cozy knit in an of-the-moment animal print and easy trousers make the perfect weekend uniform. Pair with slip-ons to finish your woke-up-like-this look.

Workout Warrior
If you think athletic wear is too cute for just the treadmill, the workout-warrior look is for you. Graphic logos and color blocking are your best friends. Sleek biker shorts and designer booties take you from gym to street faster than you can say spin class.
