Denim-on-denim
Denim-on-denim, AKA the Canadian tuxedo, is a spring classic, with silhouettes that made appearances on runways during Paris and New York spring/summer 2023 fashion weeks. Your denim staples don’t necessarily have to be the same color: a darker pant and a lighter shirt or denim jacket works well, too.

Make way for mid-rise jeans
Speaking of denim: while low-rise jeans were met with some controversy last year, we’ve got an in-between option. Say hello to mid-rise jeans. It sits comfortably above the waist and between your belly button, for those who like a more relaxed fit.

Maxi skirts are a wardrobe staple
Gracing the runways of Brandon Maxwell, Carolina Herrera and Peter Do, long maxi skirts are the flattering and versatile staple for this season. It’s definitely a nod to the ’90s, and we’re kind of obsessed. Pair it with a simple gray or white tee, or an oversized sweater for the cooler days. Plus, it can be dressed up or down with your favorite sneakers or heels.
