This 3-piece ensemble is eternally chic—everyone I know in New York's fashion scene sports it.
Just like my initial thoughts on flip-flops, I was a skeptic of capris for many years—until I decided to give them a chance last spring. Before I knew it, they became one of my go-to pieces. I found myself grabbing them for errands and long walks when I wanted something that appeared polished but still allowed for flexibility and movement. They are comfortable and effortless while still feeling stylish. If you’re shopping for a pair for the first time, here’s what I’ve discovered: If you are shorter, opt for tighter capris that hit just below the knee, as they tend to look best. For taller individuals, choose a style that flares slightly and reaches lower on the calf.
As I considered styling options, I repeatedly thought of two other spring essentials: trench coats and kitten-heel sandals. This simple yet chic outfit combination never fails. I’ve been pairing mine with the Rue Sophie Provenance Jacket and either the Stuart Weitzman Minimalist 50 Sandals or the Studio Amelia Greta Mules. Below, check out the top trench coats, capris, and kitten-heel sandals for spring.
