1. Metropolitan prep
Preppy style has been on the mood board for years at this point, but it’s starting to evolve into something new. While the look still has a bit of an academic bent, our favorite labels are moving away from the quad and into city streets. The new silhouette is free-flowing and ideal for women on the move—nothing’s too tight or stiff to weigh you down on your morning commute or afternoon errand run. Consider Chanel’s boxy suits, Celine’s gold-buttoned blazers, and Miu Miu’s V-neck sweaters over button-down shirts: It all moves from the office to wherever you’re going after, and effortlessly so.

2. Grade school colors
After multiple seasons defined by earthy, quiet-luxury-coded hues like chocolate brown and deep burgundy, it’s high time for some fresh energy. Thank Loewe, Dior, Ralph Lauren, and Versace for supplying spring’s in-your-face inspiration. Supersaturated primary and secondary shades popped up practically everywhere we looked this season, bringing to mind a kindergarten classroom’s color scheme. Go bold by styling these pieces together, or take a more practical route by mixing them into a palette of khaki, black, white, and navy.

3. Grandma-chic accessories
Grandma, as it turns out, was right. Practicality, wearability, and retro charm are at the forefront of this season’s chicest accessories. Why not keep your wallet or glasses on a chain, as Coach and TWP did? How about you swap your sneakers for dressier (and arguably cooler) brogues or derbies, à la Miu Miu and Jil Sander? Is there a better way to combat a bad hair day—or preserve a good one—than with a silk scarf tied around your head, babushka-style, like the models at Calvin Klein and Giambattista Valli? Pay respect to your elders with our granny-chic picks below.

4. Roaring 2020s
Beaded fringe, shift dresses, all-over embellishments—this season found one of its most popular muses in the flapper. A century ago, the country found itself in an economic boom tied to growing inequality (sound familiar?), but the high-rolling lifestyle offered up glamorous going-out fashion that is making its way back into the trend cycle. Rather than simply turning back the clock, though, brands like Tory Burch, Versace, Ferragamo, Chanel, and LaQuan Smith are updating the look for a new century with louche shapes and sprays of beads. And you can get the same look everywhere from Abercrombie to Zara right now.

5. ’80s office wear
The slow yet inevitable rise of return-to-office policies continues apace—and whether you’re a fan, or prefer to stay home, there’s an undeniable tailoring creep in our everyday wardrobes. Designers have been mining more and more inspiration from the ’80s as of late, and nowhere is it more apparent than in their workwear. Take your pick from ever-so-exaggerated shoulders, pussy-bow blouses, classic pumps, and pencil skirts; they’re all way more wearable than you might expect, even on the weekends. (Cosigns from the likes of Saint Laurent, Chloé, Elie Saab, Schiaparelli, and Tom Ford certainly don’t hurt, either.)

6. Minimalist athleisure
By now, you’ve probably seen the growing demand for track pants, quarter-zips, and funnel-neck jackets firsthand; everyone from J.Crew to Lululemon has a take on each silhouette this spring. But zoom out and you’ll notice a larger pattern, one where body-skimming leggings and gym-ready tops are giving way to looser, more elevated silhouettes. These aren’t the track jackets, oversized sweats, or nylon shorts you wore in high school. Instead, labels like Tibi, Tory Burch, Birrot, and Kallmeyer are loosening athleisure’s grip on the body—and making every resulting outfit that much cooler. Mix them in with tailored pieces to push your style to the next level.

7. High-volume silhouettes
While there will always be a place in our closets for slip dresses and cigarette pants, designers are pushing us in the exact opposite direction this spring—and we’re excited about it. At Dior, Saint Laurent, MKDT Studio, Zimmermann, Prada, Alaïa, Bottega Veneta, Calvin Klein, and Balenciaga, among many other labels, a parade of puffed-up pieces graced the runways. While sculptural sleeves, balloon pants, and voluminous dresses might seem like a big jump, consider this: You’ve already been wearing barrel jeans for a minute now. It’s so much more fun on the other side.
