The Tomboy
You’d rather spend the day exploring than getting a mani, so comfort is key. Experiment with boyfriend jeans and tailored separates.
Your Must-Have Piece: The Relaxed Blazer
“Let your inner tomboy out with layers of menswear-inspired basics. A tailored blazer is a must, but I also love relaxed versions that have a little more edge. Wear yours on the weekends with boyfriend jeans or to work with cropped trousers. An oversized watch and a structured crossbody round out the look.”

The Ingenue
Sure, you own plenty of pink, but you also collect old movies and art. Update flirty staples with vintage-inspired bows or ruffles.
Your Must-Have Piece: The Retro-Printed Shift
“Capture a feminine spirit and vintage vibes with a swing-shape dress in a moody floral print. Pay attention to the little details (like a mock neck and bell sleeves) to really nail the look. I especially love how you can easily transition this piece by swapping shoes and adding tights.”

The Bombshell
You love being the center of attention – it’s where you thrive. Dial up the drama with figure-hugging silhouettes and luxe leather.
Your Must-Have Piece: The Shoulder-Baring Sheath
“Take a sophisticated approach to night-out dressing with a shoulder-baring sheath. Use accessories to amp up the drama – like laser-cut chandeliers and a chain-strap bag – but keep things balanced with long sleeves and a mid-length silhouette. This is my go-to for fall weddings and holiday cocktail parties.”
