March Must Haves!

Spring is so close we can smell it — and so can our closets.
FabSugar March Must Haves

Spring is so close we can smell it — and so can our closets. Florals, bold stripes, metallics, soft hues — March is our time for turning over a fresh new leaf and welcoming in new styles. We're looking for sweet sandals, bright bags, and more delicate jewelry. We're looking to get a piece of the tribal trend, and we're definitely working the minimalist trend. Finally, we were overwhelmingly obsessed with floral pants — four of our editors picked them, so we narrowed it down to one clutch pair — and can't wait to embrace the print. Click now to see the 20 things we must have right now.

Nina Ricci Fall 2012

Peter Copping makes channeling the seductive edge of Parisian chic nearly effortless with Nina Ricci's Fall 2012.
Nina Ricci Runway Fall 2012

Peter Copping makes channeling the seductive edge of Parisian chic nearly effortless with Nina Ricci's Fall 2012. Set off in rich berry hues and a decidedly darker palette, Ricci is still all woman, only sexier. Where we're given ladylike shapes — cinched waists and full skirts, Copping finishes in sultry sheer, luxe fur, and leg-baring slits or cutout necklines. Tweedy fabrics in the sexiest iterations banish every image of traditional skirt suits reworked in curve-conscious dressing and patchworked with hints of lace. We get the playful references to lingerie dressing, but with every dose Copping's looks are all crafted with charm. A hint of floral print, pinks and pastels — even on heels finished with sparkly embellished straps — punctuate the black chiffon and deep plum hues giving way to a delightful girlishness in all the grown-up glamour. That's not by accident — Copping explains his inspiration for the collection as "a little girl playing dress up." At its core, that's what it is; it's all romance — both a fully modern, but deeply romantic idea of womanly dressing and a nostalgia for our days of dressing up in mom's closet.

  • Trends: Tweed, lace, sheer, ladylike dressing, fur trim, florals.
  • Colors: Black, white, plum, nude, pink, red.
  • Key Looks: The tweed and lace patchwork pieces put a new spin on sexy.
  • Accessories: Long leather gloves with fur trim, front-zip knee-high boots and ankle boots, crisscross strap heels, ankle-strap heels.
  • Who Would Wear It: The romantic who plays to her sexy side; Kate Bosworth would rock the sheer dresses.

    Miranda Kerr was spotted getting a taste of New York Fashion Week's red leather trend via a luxe Louis Vuitton doctor bag she toted in LA.

    Miranda Kerr was spotted getting a taste of New York Fashion Week's red leather trend via a luxe Louis Vuitton doctor bag she toted in LA. Her street-chic look — tulip-print Equipment blouse, mid-rise skinnies, and black suede flats — is stylish on its own, but her cat-eye Dior shades and David Yurman cuff up the cool factor. Snag the look for day, like Miranda did, toss on a blazer and pumps for the office, or wear a leather jacket and cage sandals for a night out.
