When it comes to my personal aesthetic, I like to call myself an expressive minimalist. By that, I mean I love to seek out classic items with a twist. Think quiet luxury but with a bit of flair! The runways have been leaning into this aesthetic in 2024, jazzing up clean silhouettes with unexpected pop of colors, statement cuts, and unique details, and these designs ooze a vibe that feels elevated yet interesting.
With a new season upon us, I've searched high and low at our favorite retailers to bring you an edit of artful classics that feel of-the-moment and cool and have a timeless nature to them. Think cape trench coats, fresh icy-blue pieces, and Mary Janes with expressive details. Keep scrolling below for the ultra-wearable everyday styles that are easy to wear and fashion-forward.
