The ’80s are back! Polka dots, one of the decade’s signature prints, enjoyed major moments at Moschino, Carolina Herrera, Acne Studios, and Valentino, and I’ve seen enough of the stuff in the wild to buy into the renaissance. I can’t think of a more elegant birthday or wedding guest dress than that black number below, and you can get the look more subtly with separates like a trendy scarf top or a silky skirt. The dots are even coming for your swimwear—chic!
10. The new workwear
The ideal working woman’s outfit is moving toward something easier, more minimalist, and menswear-adjacent, according to spring’s most exciting shows. Loose jackets and trousers anchored office-ready outfits at Victoria Beckham and Saint Laurent. Clean lines defined blazers at Toteme and Tory Burch, the former’s cinched at the waist by built-in belts.

Thankfully, it’s easy to find similar pieces at high-street brands; top it off with a trendy belted bag for your laptop and some sleek glove flats.

Bag charms were some of the hottest accessories of the previous year, and their playful, highly personalized appeal is bleeding into every other bauble on the market. In a preview of what’s to come, Coach covered spring’s bags in faux stickers and Chopova Lowena sprinkled studs onto hair bows and sneakers. And at labels such as Moschino and Saint Laurent, models walked the runway laden with as much jewelry as they could carry. (Chaotic layering, a close cousin of this trend, also popped up at Miu Miu and Acne Studios.) Start showing off your personal style with gigantic hair bows, sneaker charms, busy necklaces, and layered keychains—more is more.
