Navy Is Our New Favorite Neutral, and It's Here to Stay

Usually we see trenches in black or beige, but this navy number ($80, originally $160) will be just as versatile. With a point collar, storm flap, and shoulder epaulets, it gives off stylish Carmen Sandiego vibes, and we're here for it.

Made from woven deadstock jersey, these slides ($875) make a statement. They're bold and chunky, and they have a little bit of a flatform, which is very of the moment. Like little beds for tired toes, they'll add a dose of designer style to any outfit.

This lightweight linen midi skirt ($45, originally $90) gets all its style from the paper-bag waist. Tuck in a tee to show off the flattering fit, and pop on a wide leather belt for some added shape. If there's a chill in the air, pair the skirt with some boots, or if it's later in the season, a pair of sandals with a chunky heel will look ultrachic.

This marled shaker-knit cardigan ($450) offers a cute, boxy fit that would look perfect over a fitted crop top and pleated silk skirt. We love the little split hem in the back, which gives the sweater some movement and attitude. And since it's a midweight wool, you'll be able to wear it most of the year (especially on chilly spring evenings).

If you're looking for a new work dress, this is the one ($55, originally $110). With a waist seam and built-in belt buckle, it'll hug you in all the right places for a flattering, sophisticated look. We love the split neck, which leaves just enough room for a bold necklace. (PS: navy looks good with any metal you choose.)

Cargo pants are having a moment, and we're not mad about it. (How could we hate extra pockets?) These cargo pants ($50, originally $100) have a cute crop, making them a great, breezy option for warm spring days when you're not quite ready to break out your shorts.

This glossy bomber ($265) is the eye-catching piece your wardrobe needs. Filled with duck down and feathers and made from faux leather, it'll keep you warm and looking effortlessly cool, whether you're headed out for a day of shopping or dinner with friends. All you need to do is tuck your hands into your pockets and embrace your inner wild child.

For a simple, sophisticated outfit, all you really need is this shirtdress ($50, originally $100). With a shirttail hem and a back yoke with a center box pleat, it's got all the trappings of a work dress but it's comfortable enough to wear any day of the week. We love it styled with a belt — and if you want to go French-girl chic, wrap a silk scarf around your neck. Voila!

It's hard to improve upon a classic wool midi skirt, but Miu Miu has done it with this one with a dramatic ruffled flounce hemline ($1,200). Paired with a tapered high waist, it offers a super-flattering silhouette that's as at home on the runway as it is on the town.

T-shirt dresses are an amazing spring wardrobe staple. They're affordable, endlessly versatile, and comfortable. This little number ($24, originally $60) is made of mostly soft cotton with a tiny bit of spandex for some stretch. How you choose to style it is up to you — and there's no wrong way — whether you're pairing it with a leather jacket and boots or cute sandals and a silk scarf.

With a roomy fit and front-waist pleats, these chinos ($35, originally $70) strike the perfect balance of relaxed and sophisticated. Dress them down with a half-tucked white tee and slides, or dress them up with a blouse and leather ankle boots. They're the ideal everyday pant — and in navy, they'll go with just about anything.

For the ultimate party outfit, pick up this silk slip ($450) by Olivia von Halle, which features adjustable straps (practical!) and a very low back (daring!). Made from 100 percent silk, it's as soft as it is sexy. Pop it on with a pair of strappy sandals for that coveted off-duty-model look.
