Samantha’s Pick #1

Vibrant and versatile, this matching sweater set is the epitome of “what’s hot” in fashion right now. “The cropped cardigan trend is still going strong, as is the three-piece set. I’m especially into this bright green color, which is a shade I’ve been noticing on celebs and in street style. ” Pair with sunnies (for “a much-needed pop”), some lace-up sandals and/or a layered necklace for a chic look at an outdoor wedding, or wear it as is for the morning-after brunch with your girlfriends. If the bright color gives you pause, trust Sam’s trend-tracking–this shade of green is “one of the ‘it’ colors of the season.”

Samantha’s Pick #2

“Welcome warm weather and show a little skin in flirty florals!” Whether you already have your eye on puff sleeves (thanks, spring 2022 runway) or need a seriously standout look for a formal wedding, this one-shoulder dress will make the perfect addition to your special occasion wardrobe. While this piece is “definitely a spotlight stealer,” Sam’s advice to add a white crossbody bag and a strappy heel will make this look “feel fresh, fun, and perfect for the warmer weather.” If you’re willing to take the risk, Sam thinks this look will work for a bridal shower, a birthday party, or anywhere else “where you won’t mind some attention, because it’s bound to get tons of compliments.”

Kayla’s Pick #1

To Kayla, there’s something timeless about this bandeau set. “You can never go wrong with brown-on-brown.” Easily complimented by different textures, shades and accessories, the versatility of this look is what caught Kayla’s attention. Pull together a wedding-appropriate ’fit by adding a jacket or blazer that can be removed to create a whole new look “for a night out on the town” after the reception ends. A warm evening is the picturesque setting for an outfit like this, showing “just enough skin, but not too much.” Consider it “a prelude to the summer heat”—ow, ow!

Kayla’s Pick #2

If you need a formal option for wedding season, look no further. For Kayla, this pleated watercolor pattern maxi is the answer. “This look would be perfect for nearly any type of dressy event, from a wedding to a bridal shower.” Although it’s not quite floral, the pattern and blending of pink and purple hues remind her of the summer colorways we anticipate every year. Make it even dressier with a pair of intricate gold hoops and a shiny new clutch. Kayla predicts “we’re going to be seeing a lot of pink everywhere” this spring.
