Spring Awakening

Rising temperatures spark the desire to get dressed up again—it’s human nature. Shed your deep-winter layers and reach for detail-oriented pieces worthy of the spotlight. From statement makers to reimagined staples, these styles put a spring-ready spin on the classics.

Rethink the tank-and-trouser formula with a dynamically draped crepe top. Paired with a relaxed straight leg pant and comfortable kicks, this sleeveless style serves as a dressy focal point for an otherwise laid-back ensemble.

Informed by the men’s racer jacket, this angular layer’s subtle stand collar, hidden pockets, and concealed buttons result in a pared-back silhouette with a presence. Soften the sharp lines with a light merino wool skirt and opt for light, slightly contrasting hues.

Understated updates make all the difference. Swap the fitted pencil silhouette for a trumpet skirt and throw on a shorter, more minimalistic take on the trench. The finishing touch—a peep toe mule that’s polished but not perilously high.

Trade in your run-of-the-mill T-shirt for a soft, wool-blend henley crafted with subtle details including a ribbon trimmed neckline and variegated rib knit. Style it with a cropped pant for a touch of volume.

With a nod to early aughts dress-as-top styling, we’re maximizing the spring wardrobe mileage of this summer-ready style. Our tip—adjust the sizer tabs on this wool gabardine pant so that it sits at the hip instead of the waist for a full-length fit.
