1. KOBRAA FLAT
Even true stylistas need the occasional break from stilettos, and these dainty flats are an ideal respite for tired—yet fashion-forward—feet. They pair with stovepipe jeans just as well as those heeled gladiators that may look amazing but are, in reality, a blister-inducing disaster. Comfort aside, the Kobraa’s textured croc detail adds a richness that makes it simply irresistible.
2. TRENCH COAT
Spring is a tricky season. It’s an inevitable battle of the wardrobes, and transitioning successfully can be a major feat. We love Steve Madden’s traditional trench for all those rainy days because it serves its elementshielding purpose but perks our spirits with its charming apricot tint.
3. NANTUCKET TOTE
Whether you’re traveling cross-country or just across town, the Nantucket tote is a must. It’s spacious enough to haul your necessities without reminding you of the gym bag you’ve been meaning to ditch for years. Flirty sundresses are complemented by the cavalier materials, while the leather details hold the structure solid.
4. IKAT SCARF
Struggling to complete your look? Toss on a multicolored scarf and consider it done. We’re drawn to the vivid spectrum in this ikat, which is an exciting take on the standard two-tone. No doubt the pattern has been a major trend for a few seasons, but don’t expect it to go away anytime soon.
5. SUNGLASSES
Move over Wayfarers: Gatsby-esque frames have officially trumped you. We’re absolutely obsessed with these chic specs. Chunky, rounded tortoise has always been a staple of good taste, and this resurged vintage look has us oh so eager for summers out East.
