In Vogue Club’s latest episode of the The Tip-Off, Senior Shopping Writer Alexis Bennett Parker gives you the rundown of the hottest moments of the season—the key moments and trends you really can’t miss: From the return of iconic colors to a new style of silhouettes emerging on runways across the world, there’s much for you to add spice to your wardrobe this season.

Below are three key takeaways from Alexis’ takeover of The Tip-Off.

The color of the season is…

A dopamine-inducing red! That’s right: We’re building on the joy we’re feeling at the emergence of sunny spring by continuing to drape ourselves in the cheery red that made waves toward the end of last year.

What’s more: Pair a red sweater and dress (like these from Christopher John Rogers), and dash from office meetings to after-work cocktails with elegant ease.

The silhouette to watch:

The breakout star of the moment? It has to be the cinched waist: It’s appeared in collections from Proenza Schouler and Gabriela Hearst to Saint Laurent, and is guaranteed to elevate your outfit to a whole new level.

Denim Cocoon Sleeve Jacket

Just pair your jacket with matching bottoms (just look at Alexis’ picks from Scanlan Theodore) and take the complicated guesswork out of selecting your outfit. Also: Check out the contrast stitching in these products—a must, in our books!

Why now might be the time to splurge on that dream piece:

A couple of things Alexis keeps in mind before making a splurge purchase (and we couldn’t agree more): “I need to at least have an idea of three different ways I can wear the item before I can buy it—if I can’t wear it more than three different ways, it’s probably something I should find at a more affordable price point instead of splurging on it.”

Bunnie Calfskin Mule Pumps

With Alexis’ mules, she knew she could dress them up with a cute skirt—and they could also make blue jeans and a white shirt look cool. The last convincing reason: She could picture herself wearing them to a fancy event. What do you think? Let us know over on Vogue Club’s Discord!
