Eastern-esque
Anything Asian -- from kimonos to cheongsams -- will be a success this spring.
The silky fabrics and sometimes lingerie-like styles require sharp denim or structured trousers to balance it out. Best bet: Chinatown embroidered slippers: chic, easy, and adorable.
- Always pair with understated pieces and low-key accessories.
- Wear an oriental-patterned top with khaki trousers .
- Feeling trendy? Toss a cheongsam over denim capris.

Just Beachy
Although showing up to the beach in a wetsuit-inspired Balenciaga dress might be a little much, the effortless surfgirl look is perfect for summer caz. Breezy minis, sheer cotton tees, and tiny short-shorts are all water-ready, especially when accompanied by ocean-waved hair and funky sandals.
- Mix and match casual elements with a femme, pretty piece thrown in.
- Sassy striped capris, a simple halter, and flip flops.
- Always be prepared for a dip: tankini top, terry mini skirt, and stylin' espadrilles.<FONT size=1>
