Look of the Day: Blue Suede Shoes

Consider this a how-to in achieving your cool-girl look for the Summer.

by Robert Khederian

Consider this a how-to in achieving your cool-girl look for the Summer. All the elements of an edgy ensemble are present in community member EuphoriasRoom's outfit: moto jacket, gray jersey top, and asymmetric skirt — albeit with Summer-perfect updates. Her top is made of light, breathable jersey, and her architectural skirt is kept short for the balmier days ahead. Knowing the power of bold color, she finished off her tough leather look by making a statement in a deep-blue necklace and — what else? — blue suede shoes.

Congrats, EuphoriasRoom!

J.Crew Collection — What's Worth the Investment, What to Skip

J.Crew's high-end Collection lineup always elicits a ton of "oohs" and "ahhs" at every Fashion Week showing.

by Chi Diem Chau

J.Crew's high-end Collection lineup always elicits a ton of "oohs" and "ahhs" at every Fashion Week showing. And who can blame us? With embellishments and fancy finishes aplenty, we immediately want to buy each and every single piece — stat. But once the looks hit stores (and once we see the hefty price tags), it takes a little more than Jenna Lyons's expert styling for us to fork over the big bucks for a piece of the collection. That being said, we're taking a zoomed-in look at the latest J.Crew Collection lookbook and breaking down the gorgeous looks really worth your hard-earned cash — and what you should consider skipping. Just step inside for our complete guide to buying smart.

Look of the Day: Bold Lines

Don't listen when people say you can't mix two bold patterns into one outfit.

by Robert Khederian

Don't listen when people say you can't mix two bold patterns into one outfit. The magic of community member StyleCueSuzieQ's outfit lies in the clean, architectural designs of her top and skirt. Here's the breakdown: She kept the color palette consistent (read: navy and gray) to unify the two patterns together. She then used her navy blazer and nude heels to lend a sophisticated, polished edge to her look while helping to tie all the colors of her graphic ensemble together.

Congrats, StyleCueSuzieQ!

H&M's Spring Is a Lesson in Looking Amazing (Minimal Effort Required)

Statement pieces plus basics give way to one pretty flawless (and pretty easy) outfit formula.

by Hannah Weil

Statement pieces plus basics give way to one pretty flawless (and pretty easy) outfit formula. That's what you'll learn in H&M's latest Spring styling lookbook, where t-shirts, staple cotton maxi skirts, and denim cutoffs are reinvented with embellished tops, textured jackets, and printed miniskirts. It's the "it doesn't take much" approach to elevated dressing that's employed here — just a hint of bohemian print on a sweatshirt or a touch of lace on a skirt has a major effect on how the whole outfit adds up (even when the other half of that look is just a pair of your favorite well-worn Summer shorts). And if you're looking for serious outfit perks that come in the form of just one great piece, you'll want to check out the label's graphic-printed t-shirt dress or revamp on the heat-wave-ready LBD. Just click through to see Frida Gustavsson showing off the latest Spring pieces — and the styling lessons that come with them.

Look of the Day: Party Perfect

We've officially entered that time of the year where it's totally acceptable to have parties outside — and during the day.

by Robert Khederian

We've officially entered that time of the year where it's totally acceptable to have parties outside — and during the day. Today, we're taking alfresco inspiration from NetteVartanian's printed and colorful look. She kept the color palette of her blouse and A-line skirt bright and seasonal while accenting her ensemble with the perfect balance of accessories. Pentagonal sunglasses, a tassel necklace, and cocktail ring echoed the colors and spirit of her printed blouse, while a pair of neutral platforms finished her garden-party look off with added sophistication (and height!).

Congrats, NetteVartanian!

Look of the Day: Clean Minimalist

Sometimes simple is the way to go.

by Robert Khederian

Sometimes simple is the way to go. Case in point: POPSUGAR Fashion reader Sidney Salim's minimal colorblocked look. The no-frill structure of the dress and its division of color made for a perfectly chic effect, which she accentuated with an oversize reptilian-print clutch and a pair of sandals. A light-colored necklace provided the final detail and sleek complement to her sleek and stylish outfit.

Congrats, Sidney Salim!

Free People Has the Festival Look of Our Dreams

As far as festival wardrobes go, the Free People Spring lineup comes pretty close to perfect.

by Hannah Weil

As far as festival wardrobes go, the Free People Spring lineup comes pretty close to perfect. First, it brought us a beachy shoot with both Crystal Renn and Ieva Laguna cast as bohemian muses for the April catalog. Now, its newly released festival-inspired lookbook (with Martha Hunt playing cool-girl-gone-hippie) provides a Coachella-perfect selection of gauzy maxi dresses, embroidered tunics, crop tops, and printed swimwear. In short, if you're packing your bags for the second weekend at Coachella — or gearing up for any outdoor concerts — this lookbook comes just in time to inspire you as you plan your outfits. Sure, these collections also look to romance and some retro bombshell-inspired styling, but any one of these pieces could take on that quintessential festival feel with the right pair of ankle boots. Get a glimpse of it all when you keep clicking.

The Coolest Look to Take to Coachella (or Any Other) Weekend

With a cool-girl twist on a staple black maxi, this Coachella attendee supplied a look not only worth duplicating for weekend two at the festival, but also one we could safely take to any weekend beyond the desert, too.

by Hannah Weil

With a cool-girl twist on a staple black maxi, this Coachella attendee supplied a look not only worth duplicating for weekend two at the festival, but also one we could safely take to any weekend beyond the desert, too. That's because this showgoer cleverly avoided the basic-black-maxi rut (and any concert-dressing clichés) with a floral blazer and low-heeled ankle-straps. The result is a much more sophisticated ensemble with a hint of the trends that's begging to be taken from the Summer concert scene to your next weekend brunch, happy hour, and well beyond. All the key pieces you need are below, just shop to get the look.
