1. Capri Pants

Capri pants continue to trend hard as one of the most forward wardrobe staples of the season to wear with everything from blazers to tees.

2. Black Skirt

While simple, a black skirt—knee-length, midi, maxi, or mini—is always chic. This look with the knee-length option and the long-sleeve top is just so elegant.

3. Flat Mary-Janes

Looking for a new pair of go-to flats to carry you through this season and beyond? Don’t underestimate the power of a pair of flat Mary-Jane shoes as a practical and chic choice. You could even consider one in trendy mesh!

4. Double-Breasted Blazer

A double-breasted blazer is a no-fail basic that will make anyone look fashionable. A good belt is also a must, and looks sleek over a blazer.

5. Striped Oversized Shirt

Oversized shirting continues to reign supreme. A striped shirt (especially half-tucked to showcase that belt) is an absolute go-to for the fashion crowd.

6. Slingbacks

As one of my fellow writers shared, slingbacks are a staple and will take any look to the next level.

7. Relaxed Denim/Trousers

Relaxed trousers and jeans are modern and so versatile teamed with blouses, tees, blazers, and so on.
