Total White-Out
Say goodbye to your head-to-toe black uniform and hello to a clean and breezy hue. Pull on a floor-length white cotton dress for vacation-ready drama or an easy eyelet minidress with feminine flair to spare. Casual hair and makeup are essential to nail the beachy vibe.

It’s All Greek
Shimmering metallics and sultry silhouettes are the ultimate complement to your holiday glow. Gladiator sandals and a one-shoulder top are the anchors of this super-flattering trend. Just add plenty of accessories, like a beaded headband and statement earrings, to complete the Santorini-goddess style.

Denim by Design
As hard as it is to push aside your favorite jeans, it’s time to venture out and try the newest shapes (cropped flares and vintage straight legs, to name a few!). Seize the allover-denim moment by wearing a unique topper and wide-leg jeans, and keep the rest of your look classic to let your baby blues steal the show.

Fashion in Bloom
As we slowly edge toward balmy months, pretty, light shades are taking the place of moody Fashion Week florals. Commit to full-on girly with bow-accented sandals and sugary pink earrings.

Bold Moods
Go unapologetically all-out this resort season by pairing big prints and electric colorways – the brighter, the better. Stick to tailored pieces and toned-down extras to make the over-the-top patterns completely wearable IRL.
