STYLE NOTES:

  • SOFTEN THE EDGES: Temper sharp tailoring with intentional embellishments like placement frills and trending rosettes.
  • PALETTE HACK: Freshen up no-nonsense neutrals with playful pastels (think buttercup, mint, baby blue and palest pink).
  • FASHION MATH: In a rush? Take one rib knit dress, add kitten heel slingbacks and finish with a boyish blazer.
  • NO JACKET REQUIRED: Not a blazer fan? Massimo Dutti Studio’s statement cuff poplin shirt pairs perfectly with a long flared satin skirt and heeled mules.
