As the head stylist at Saks in the Fifth Avenue Club, I'm all about helping people feel confident through fashion. Here's my style forecast for spring and summer.
What's out:
Neon, mom jeans, major patterns
What's in:
Hues of blue, Barbie pink, Pantone's color of 2024- peach fuzz, emerald green, fiery red, timeless black, crop tops when worn appropriately
Style watch:
Short suits, lightweight linen, everything denim (think 90s Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears era), florals
Brands Lisa loves:
Veronica Beard, Alice + Olivia, Cinq à Sept
Trending Bottoms:
Mini skirts, skorts, long denim skirts, short shorts, knee-length shorts reflective of the 90s, very flared jeans, straight leg low-rise jeans
Staple pieces to have in your closet:
Classic black go-to items, a bodysuit in every color, an array of camisoles, black jeans
Accessories:
Colored handbags, headbands and belts. Tip: wear a thin belt to make your torso look longer. If you love a logo'd belt (hello, Gucci!) don't mix it with many additional brand names (brand name overboard!).
Make up:
Blue liner and shadow; Chanel just launched a fantastic spring/summer collection
Shoes:
Gladiator sandals, tall platforms, chunky heels (hence, comfort!), mules, wedges
Bathing suits:
Whatever fits your body. For example, if you're uncomfortable with your midsection, wear a one piece.
Expert Tips:
Invest in clothing you can wear day-to-night.
Age is just a number... and so is size! Pretend the size isn't listed on the jeans or dress; there's so much fluctuation between U.S. and European sizes.
Incorporate different shades of one color; for example, navy paired with sky blue.
Prioritize quality undergarments; the proper bra, Spanx and SKIMS.
Feeling bloated? Wear black. It's slimming.
Get "dressed" every day. Many people who work-at-home feel an increased sense of sluggishness when they don't get at least partially ready.
