Spring/Summer ‘26 on the runway was full of styling ideas I loved, from sculptural skirts and expressive texture to layered color and directional tailoring, and these are the looks I wanted to recreate with pieces I’m loving right now.

Power Skirt

The skirt emerges as the centerpiece this season, shaped through bold proportion, saturated color, or tactile finish. Paired with a refined top layer — whether silk, knit, or tailoring — it delivers a look that feels strong, composed, and unmistakably statement-driven.

The Wrapped Detail

Wrapped and knotted elements introduce a more playful approach to styling, with scarves and draped layers tied at the waist or across the body. This detail shifts the look into something more expressive, adding movement and a sense of spontaneity to otherwise polished pieces.

Fringe Movement

Fringe is elongated and layered, bringing constant motion and texture into the silhouette. Whether through a dress or statement detail, it adds energy and a sense of play, with each movement creating depth and visual interest.

Sheer Layering

Transparency is explored through layered construction, with sheer fabrics, lace, and lightweight materials building depth through tone and contrast. Styled in multiples, the effect feels dimensional, expressive, and slightly undone in the most intentional way.

I’ve always been a fan of green totes like this gorgeous one from Dragon Diffusion — you will be surprised how versatile they are in your wardrobe! You can wear them with neutrals like black, navy, gray, ivory, etc — as well as with colors like pastels and jewel tones. You can even wear it with green, although you have to do it with a bit of intention, but I think it would look great with an olive or a mint if the rest of the outfit were kept fairly sedate.

(Actually, it’s styled with a model wearing a pale olive outfit, so you know it works!)

The tote is 8.25″H x 15″L x 6″ deep,and the handle drop is 6 inches. It’s $554 at Shopbop.com. (You can also find the brand at Bloomingdale’s and DragonDiffusion.com.)

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

The number of striped tops in my closet is reaching unsustainable levels, but I still can’t stop myself when I see something great. This short-sleeved sweater from Caslon will be perfect for chilly spring mornings.

My spring uniform last year consisted of tops like this paired with midi skirts or trousers, and I’m feeling pretty good about that trend continuing for 2026.

The top is $69.50 at Nordstrom and comes in sizes 1X-4X. It’s also available (in more colors, some on sale) in sizes XS-XXL.

Espadrilles carry a sense of place—sun-warmed streets, woven textures underfoot, and that feeling of the season opening up. The braided sole brings natural texture into spring dressing, paired with canvas, raffia, or leather uppers that feel elevated but easy. This season, they come through in refined variations. Mary Jane straps, low wedges, and softly structured flats, alongside details like embroidery, mesh, and saturated color.

There’s an effortlessness to espadrilles that makes them instinctive to wear during the day, styled with crisp cotton pieces, relaxed tailoring, or lightweight knits, bringing effortless pairing to all your spring looks.

Monica attended Brandy’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony alongside her husband Anthony “Ant” Wilson, wearing an ivory ensemble by LaPointe that combined soft tailoring with textural detail.

Her look featured a silky button-down blouse paired with $1,950 coordinating high-waisted trousers, both accented with feather trim at the cuffs and hem for added dimension.

She layered pearl necklaces around her neckline and carried a statement Chanel pearl strap bag, complementing the neutral palette. Her glam included soft waves, defined brows, and neutral-toned makeup.

Anthony “Ant” Wilson coordinated in a light blue suit styled with a white shirt, pastel tie, and a floral lapel pin, completing the couple’s polished appearance for the occasion honoring Brandy’s milestone moment.

Vintage style often comes down to the materials that show up again and again each season. Crochet and open knits, lace and eyelet, cotton voile, and washed denim all carry that familiar, worn-in feel. There’s a mix of structure and softness to it—denim gives shape, while lighter fabrics keep it easy. Details like embroidery, along with accessories in raffia and leather, add another layer while keeping the look balanced. It’s a combination that always comes back, shifting slightly each time but staying rooted in the same textures.

For busy working women, the suit is often the easiest outfit to throw on in the morning. In general, this feature is not about interview suits for women, which should be as classic and basic as you get — instead, this feature is about the slightly different suit that is fashionable, yet professional. Also: check out our big roundup for the best women’s suits!

You may think you need to save a fabulous outfit like this for July 4, but I say no — I think you can wear it year round!

In winter, I would wear it with navy tights (or, hey, these), I think — you could even add some cowboy boots (maybe these!) for extra oomph. In summer, I think the outfit as pictured looks great, but I’d add a patriotic manicure, patriotic jewelry, or a patriotic scarf.

Obviously, don’t pair the suit with boots in summer, because that would call your professional judgment into question.

You can get the suit at Target and Opposuits. Prefer pants? Check out this suit.
