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.
You can't go wrong with navy and white.

Style Notes: Wearing carefully considered colours head-to-toe always results in a polished look. The easiest way to try the trend? Throw on a chunky knit and wide-leg trousers. Plus, with spring here, now's the ideal time to experiment with bold colors. (Think pink, lilac, powder blue and yellow.)
Feeling brave? Start with lilac.

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.
We can always bank on Zara for punchy printed midi dresses.

Not into loose-fit overalls? Go for something belted.
So chic and bold. This is a true investment piece you'll wear season after season.
Black suede and a versatile block heel? Yes, please.
