Colors: Camel and pastels 

Neutrals and light colors take the spotlight this spring and summer. Sorbet-inspired suits fill Instagram timelines as well as neutral sweatsuits to fit in with the zoom-chic trend. Throw in a pastel pop to make your outfits more fashion-forward in these upcoming seasons. 

Statement bags

Shoulder bags have had their time in the spotlight recently, and it looks like they are here to stay. New twists to the bags are bold colors, such as royal blue and a deep yellow, or flowers and fur. Who doesn’t love a fun bag? 

& Other Stories Oversized polo

Knit polos 

The preppy style of the 2000s sparked in 2020 with tiered skirts and Brandy Melville tops, but knit polos have come back as well. Create a more polished look to your favorite jeans by adding a knit polo (bonus points if it’s pastel) and rock your new look.
