Style Notes: Nautical stripes and white denim have long been considered a classic combo, and for good reason: The pairing is just so cool. According to Camille Charrière, spring is all about oversized striped tops paired with high-rise jeans and statement boots.

Style Notes: Sure, this one is fairly obvious, but we just couldn't leave out a chic floral midi dress. Pair a floral iteration with mules or kitten heels for a modern take.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
