Pattern Play

Have fun with prints and patterns by mixing of-the-moment colors and silhouettes. A bright windowpane-check blazer gives a whole new meaning to the term “buttoned-up,” while a midi skirt featuring an ever-preppy stripe looks super fresh with pristine, white ankle booties.

The New Classic

These are your standby faves, but with a few twists and turns. The tried-and-true button-down gets a makeover with a slouchier silhouette. And as for suits? Fitted is out, laid-back is in. Swap out your nipped-waist jackets for something a bit more relaxed (and equally as timeless).

For the Fam 

For the gents, a tailored blazer/polo/chinos uniform is a foolproof and modern update on prep. For the kiddos, an easy printed dress and sneaker combo will keep your mini-me ready for days on the go – or for when you’re chasing after them.
