Goodbye, hefty outwear and winter boots—as spring eases in, we’re transitioning to flowy dresses, maxi skirts and breezy shorts until further notice. As a fashion writer, it’s quite literally my job to stay alert for emerging trends each season. And while butter yellow and red took us far last spring, there’s one particular color combination on my mind this year: brown and baby blue. I’ve been spotting the unexpected pairing on runways and in street style capitals alike. When I’m in need of inspiration, I tend to look at the Copenhagen ladies’ standout style. And seriously, all the cool girls are sporting the combo.
Another goal of mine? Bringing a bit more whimsy into my wardrobe. As a New Yorker, that’s easier said than done when you’re staring at an all-black closet. But this duo might just be the answer. It’s an effortless way to experiment—whether through tops, swimwear or accessories. I've done the heavy lifting for you and gathered some of my favorite pieces to get you started. Minimalist- and maximalist-friendly, there’s something here for everyone.
