1. Navy Trousers

Blue is the new black… at least when it comes to dress pants. To avoid veering into sailor territory, Becky recommends “balancing the flared leg with more fitted pieces on top.” Elongate your stems even further with cork wedges.

2. Buttoned Blazer

For days when you would rather be on the open ocean than sitting in a meeting, opt for a cruise jacket. “The structured silhouette and coastal colors totally update your 9-to-5 look,” says Becky.

3. Striped Tee

When we think summer, we think navy-and-white tops (and frosé). Becky suggests pairing one with relaxed distressed jeans for a “slightly unexpected twist on a usually preppy look.” eeling more traditional? White jeans or those navy trousers pair just as nicely.

Always dreamed of being a stylist like Becky? Us, too. Here’s how to get started with cabi.
