Plaid
Designers gave a nod to menswear with this versatile print — and it feels so contemporary. Try it in a boxy jacket and layer it over feminine dresses.

Soft Hobo
Move over satchels, these light, flexible bags are too hot to handle. Try them in bi-colored leather or exotic skins, as stylish as they are wearable.

Slogan Top
Let them know where you stand. The political protest continues on the runway and into streetwear.
