THE DAYTIME
DENIM UPDATEAn unexpected riff on a proper blouse, this pretty pullover—done in a soft chambray—is all about the feminine details: exaggerated puff-shoulders, prim tie-neck detail. Better still, it can skew as dressed up or as toned-down as you need it to, simply swap jeans for a floaty skirt and sandals for something with height.

THE OFF-DUTY TO PARTY-DUTY DRESS
The feminine florals on this silk-twill dress may read prim, but the dramatic sleeves and ruched bodice are as playful as it gets. It has a sexy A-line cut that effortlessly floats above the knees, so it looks particularly flattering worn with high-tops (during the day) or something strappy (for after-hours).

A BRIGHT IDEA
In a splashy shade of sunflower-yellow, this slinky silk top is the color-happy alternative to any basic blouse. The prim tie-neck detail shows off a playful peek-a-boo keyhole; the subtle balloon sleeves gently taper towards beautifully exaggerated cuffs.

SHEER ROMANCE
Cut from the finest Italian silk, this ethereal tie-back dress—done in a pink-floral print—is in a word: romantic. The ruffled high-neck placket, elegant balloon sleeves, and playful hemline make the diaphanous silhouette shine. Meanwhile, the built-in slip-dress provides coverage. Minimal ankle-wrap sandals and a woven cross-body keep things grounded.

A TAKE-EVERYWHERE TOTE
Consider this structured top-handle tote a fresh riff on a carryall. It’s roomy enough for all the essentials, and then some—plus, the ombré blue stripes look just as at home seaside as they do in the city.

THE OCCASION-SPANNING LBD
This shin-skimming dress has two ruffled straps interlocking dramatically at the back; meanwhile, the gently pleated skirt cinches at the waist to carve out the most flattering shape. Dress it up or dress it down—either way, you’ll want it on hand to get you through occasions big and small.
