To nail the romantic look, choose lacy white in mixed textures. Black accessories offset this monochromatic look, keeping it season-neutral – while dark, round sunglasses stay on-trend. Polish off the ensemble with sleek hair and a moody lip hue.

For a chic 9-to-5 outfit, pair contrasting separates to make a subtle statement. Minimalist pieces make it office-friendly, while colorblocking injects a bit of runway style. Headed to happy hour after work? Add red lipstick.

Luxe leather adds a rocker touch to feminine fabrics. Opt for modern layers (like this bustier) over an elegant silhouette for an unexpected play on edgy. Ultra-trendy sunnies elevate the look to next-level cool.

Athleisure: all about black and white. Try a sporty side stripe or clean white sneakers. It’s a no-brainer, regardless of whether you’re headed to the gym or just channeling your inner off-duty model.
