A Style Set Trend Report: Top Trends of the Week
Gingham Sets
Gingham always seems to come back around at this time of year as the go-to print for days spent outdoors. This spring, we’re seeing full gingham sets take the spotlight as an easy, wearable warm-weather option. From playful navy and red dainty tie tops with breezy, loose pants to fitted micro-short sets, a gingham set is always a great spring/summer outfit choice.

Cut-Outs
When we say “cut-outs”, we’re not talking about the grunge DIY cut-out tops that took over our closets and our Pinterest boards in the 2010s (if you know, you know). Now, cut-outs have a more modern and mature look. Think simple ribbed dresses with ornate floral cut-outs and openings held together by delicate bows, buttons, knots, or metal hardware. It’s all about intentionally placed cut-outs that feel subtle while still adding a unique element to a piece.

Floral Bags
Florals are having their moment—as they always do in the spring and summer. But this year, floral bags are emerging as the standout accessory with luxury brands like Versace, Carolina Herrera, and Staud embracing the trend in their own distinct ways. If a head-to-toe floral look feels like too much, a floral bag is a great way to still tap into the trend. From bags with printed floral fabrics, 3D rosette details, embroidered petals, beads, and metal flower embellishments, there’s a style for every vibe.

A Style Set Man: The Latest in Men’s Fashion
Sometimes, it’s all about going back to the basics. If you’re in a style rut, it might be time to return to the classic white sneaker. As a closet staple, a simple sneaker can be styled with casual everyday clothing or dressed up with trousers and refined accessories. If you’ve been wearing the same Nike Air Force 1s for years, we recommend upgrading to a more elevated, current silhouette, such as the Dries Van Noten suede-trimmed sneakers or the Massimo Dutti nappa trainers.
