The Sporty Chic Edit (Trend: Athleisure, Retro Sneakers) Shoe: Retro-inspired Adidas Sambas or New Balance 550s Outfit: A midi skirt + cashmere sweater or sweatshirt Styling Tip: Layer with an oversized bomber for a cool, street-style edge and add a structured tote to balance the softer pieces.

The Modern Preppy Look (Trend: Elevated Sporty, Classic Americana, The Fisherman Sandal or Loafer) Shoe: Leather mule in soft yellow for a polished yet playful touch Outfit: Classic sweater vest + pleated linen shorts + trench coat Styling Tip: For a versatile alternative, swap the shorts for white jeans for a sleek monochrome effect or dark-rinse denim for a more classic, everyday look.
