’70s Spirit

A continuation from fall 2015, the 70s are still with us in sartorial spirit thanks to labels like Diane Von Furstenberg, Rodarte and Anna Sui that are referencing disco, glam rock and boho on the runways this season. Now’s the time to get on the groove train baby.

Cut out Shoulders

The fashion world has gone cuckoo for cut outs, especially when it comes to showing a little shoulder. Fall’s off-the-shoulder trend has morphed into cool cut outs for spring. From Givenchy’s chic vest to Proenza Schouler’s perforated knits, these bare looks are a skin win.

Long Shoulder Bags

Every woman needs a fabulous go-to (and go-with-everything) bag and come spring it’s a long strap shoulder bag. Part 70s throwback, part modern it girl, wear this new must-have cross-body or slung over one shoulder—either way, you’ll be a street style star.

Orange

Tangerine, apricot, peach—no matter how you slice it a juicy hit of orange is just what the style doctor ordered to give your spring wardrobe a lift. Go sporty like Lacoste’s zippered vest or seriously glam like Prabal Gurung’s sweeping maxi. Getting your daily dose of Vitamin C has never been easier.
