Modern Romance
For a look that feels a little Phoebe-era Celine (in a good way!), pair a black and pink lace slip with Bottega Veneta’s hip-length white denim jacket and a pop of red on the feet.
Runway to Reality
Balance out the feminine whimsy of a paneled Dries Van Noten skirt by pairing it with super simple extras: a classic white tank, kitten heels, and sculptural bangle.
The Romantic Pair
You’ll reach for Massimo Dutti’s easy lace-trimmed set all spring, and into summer too. Sleek white ballerinas and a quilted bag keep the look from feeling too frilly.
The Minimalists’ Take
Play with color-blocking by pairing The Row’s ice-blue satin slip with a bright red pullover. A peeking-out collar of a gray t-shirt adds a bit of elegant nonchalance to the whole ensemble.
Utilitarian Chic
J.Crew’s popular slip takes on a cool, new persona when paired with a cinched utility jacket and simple, black sandals.
Textural Contrast
For an easy, chic spring look, you can’t go wrong with Prada’s white lace skirt, a simple trench and a raffia tote.
