“The way you feel when you walk onto the court really matters," says the tennis pro. "When you feel strong, when you feel comfortable in what you’re wearing, it gives you momentum before the first point is even played.”

A formal dress code doesn’t mean you have to default to black — especially in the bright, cheery days of spring. Instead, embrace the season with floor-length gowns in soft pastels like pale yellow and sage green (big 2026 color trends). Take it up a notch with fresh details like detachable scarves and 3-D rosettes. Or, keep it elegant with dark colors in breezy silhouettes that are just as versatile as black, but slightly more unexpected.

Cocktail attire strikes the perfect balance between formal and fun, giving you plenty of room to play with silhouettes, fabrics, and hemlines (yes, minis are fair game!). For the spring, standout details are taking center stage — think halter and one-shoulder necklines, frilly skirts, and embellishments. From bold colors to delicate appliqués, these touches will have you party-ready from day to night.

Whether you're headed to a garden party or a vineyard ceremony, flowy mini, midi, and maxi dresses in airy linens, cottons, chiffons, and ruched fabrics as well as bold prints like polka dots and florals are the move.

Whether you’re celebrating in Maine or on the Amalfi Coast (especially if it’s seaside nuptial), complement the stunning scenery with these colorful and flowy frocks.

This New Target Collab Embraces Colorful Prints

The Best 2026 Handbag Trends To Carry Around

I Took R29 Lookbook Trend Inspo To Dress For NYFW

On TikTok, Taylor Migliazzo Simon popularized the ‘Unexpected Red Theory’ in 2024, proving that the primary color can surprisingly make even the most chaotic spaces look cohesive. Of course, the concept of adding a pop of red here and there is nothing new. But years later, it continues to feel more prevalent than ever as the street style set rely on the splashy shade to elevate any and every outfit.

The attendees at Paris Fashion Week provide photographic proof that the theory works IRL. Fashionistas are having fun mixing sequin skirts (during the daytime, might I add) with red cardigans. They’re also reviving classic trench coats with red crewnecks peeking out from underneath.

You can join in on the fun, too. Simply incorporate a pop of red into any area of your life. It could be a pillow on your couch or a handbag with an all-black outfit — you name it. The vibrant hue instantly makes everything in its orbit look better.

Of course, we’re here for the fashion. Sartorially speaking, there really are no rules. The theory works with everything. Let’s say you’re wearing your go-to denim shorts paired with a coordinating jean jacket. Pop on a red baseball cap or red sneakers and — voilà — an effortlessly cool look is born. If you’re looking for an easy entry point, shoes are the safest route to go, whether it’s a trainer, flat, or a kitten heel.

Have fun planning and shopping your own ‘Unexpected Red Theory’ look with inspiration from Paris Fashion Week below.

The Spark of Fun PARIS, FRANCE – MARCH 03: A guest wears blonde hair, brown tinted aviator sunglasses, a navy and bright blue plaid checkered print pattern cotton knot neck / puffly sleeves blouse shirt, a red ribbed knit wool sweater from Coco Y Maria, a gold metallic sequin midi skirt, a blue dark leather handbag, black and brown snake print pattern leather flip flop sandals, outside Dior, during Paris Fashion Week – Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026/2027, on March 03, 2026 in Paris, France (Photo by Edward Berthelot/Getty Images)

As we shift from winter to spring, tying a cardigan around your waist is not only a chic look that’s fun to look at. It’s also a functional one that will keep you prepared for unpredictable weather. Bonus points: This spring is all about the party skirt. There’s no need to wait until sunset to whip out those sequins, feathers, and fringe.

The Timeless Touch PARIS, FRANCE – MARCH 03: A person is seen wearing black sunglasses, a red v-neck sweater, a taupe trench coat, black trousers, and black pointed-toe heeled boots, while carrying a black patent leather handbag during Day Two of Paris Fashion Week – Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026/2027 on March 03, 2026 in Paris, France. (Photo by 305pics/Getty Images)

You can never go wrong with a strong arsenal of classics in your wardrobe. Be sure to add a tomato red sweater to your collection for an easy way to breathe new life into those staples.

The Mighty Minis PARIS, FRANCE – MARCH 04: Bei Suan wears white Courrèges polo neck top, white mini skirt, white Courrèges bag, red Courrèges heels, outside Courrèges, during Day Three of Paris Fashion Week – Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026/2027 on March 04, 2026 in Paris, France. (Photo by Claudio Lavenia/Getty Images)

Bring a red shoe into the fold of an all-white look to turn minimalist staples into a maximized photo-ready moment. Opt for a kitten heel for a bit of added height without the aching pain.

The Denim Darling PARIS, FRANCE – MARCH 03: A guest wears blue denim jacket with a hood, matching blue wide shorts, red cap, black mini bag, sunglasses, light pink and purple stripped tie tied over her hips and red high heel boots during Day Two of Paris Fashion Week – Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026/2027 on March 03, 2026 in Paris, France. (Photo by Raimonda Kulikauskiene/Getty Images)

Double up on denim and the red accents for street style-level fun. If you’re over boot season, swap them for an equally cool pair of red sneakers.

The Sport Star PARIS, FRANCE – MARCH 03: A guest wears short dark brown bob haircut, black and red aviator sunglasses, a red orange nylon hooded pullover jacket with white piping and white printed text, a blue denim high neck shirt, a dark yellow ribbed knit turtleneck sweater, charcoal gray tailored suit trousers / pants, a brown suede shoulder bag, blue and black fabric sneakers shoes from Nike, outside Marie Adam-Leenaerdt, during Paris Fashion Week – Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026/2027, on March 03, 2026 in Paris, France (Photo by Edward Berthelot/Getty Images)

Speaking of sneakers, go full on sports mode by working a track jacket in with wardrobe essentials. It’s the fastest way to add a sense of cool-girl ease to a timeless look.

The Lucky Layers PARIS, FRANCE – MARCH 03: Coco Schiffer wears black sunglasses, a black knit sweater, a red knit turtleneck top, gold rings, a beige woven flared short skirt with long train, a white leather handbag, white leather loafers pumps heels shoes, outside Marie Adam-Leenaerdt, during Paris Fashion Week – Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026/2027, on March 03, 2026 in Paris, France (Photo by Edward Berthelot/Getty Images)

Without the red turtleneck, this outfit is cute. But with the bright contrasting hue it goes from being a nice look to a subtly chic statement maker that makes heads turn.

Your Spring Wardrobe Starts With These Blazers

If you’re like me, you’re probably sick and tired of bundling up in winter layers. Don’t lose hope though, my friends. We’ve made it through the harshest days of the season and sunshine is just around the corner. In other words: Now is the perfect time to invest in transitional outerwear pieces. Whether it’s coveted leather jackets or — the reason why we’re here today — cool-girl-approved spring blazers.

While the tailored pieces are a classic essential in any wardrobe, not every blazer is created equally. There are some brands who have perfected the art of crafting timeless silhouettes over the years, while there are others who have worked diligently to give the staple a meticulously modern cut that feels undeniably chic. What’s even better is that the wardrobe hero looks great during any life event. Going to brunch with your friends on the weekend? Throw on a blazer. Have an important meeting with your boss? Throw on a blazer. Running errands but want to look polished just in case you run into your ex at the supermarket? Throw on a blazer.

With so many options to shop, analysis paralysis can set in quickly. However, with a little research, it’s clear to see that there are standout winners. After consulting the visual diaries of our favorite it girls, we’ve unearthed the need-to-know brands creating the best spring blazers for women. I will warn you now, you are going to want to wear these every single day.

The Frankie Shop

If you’re someone who’s always faced with a bit of buyer’s remorse, you need to add The Frankie Shop to your sartorial arsenal. The label is known for its reliable foundational pieces. From button-down shirts to, of course, smart blazers. At the top, you’ll see Chiara Ferragni wearing the label’s Crosby blazer, an oversized design with a modern wrap effect, but there are so many more celeb-loved options. Kendall Jenner recently wore the bestselling Gelso and Hailee Steinfeld has the boxy Pia blazer.

Madewell

If you’re looking for rich textures without spending thousands of dollars, I highly recommend Madewell’s edit. The assortment includes sumptuous suede blazers and corduroy styles that add a bit of interest to all those jeans-and-a-T-shirt outfits. Plus, Madewell’s blazers also come with a stamp of approval from Selena Gomez and It girl Alexa Chung.

TWP

Not too many brands can fuse the coolness of New York City’s energy with the sweet charm of the Midwest, but TWP’s Trish Wescoat Pound manages to do so with ease. The label’s blazers are tailored in a way that oozes modern-day CEO magic. That alluring appeal has reeled in a growing fan base like Elle Fanning, Emma Roberts, and Jennifer Garner—to name a few.

H&M

Don’t sleep on the high-street finds. H&M has some hidden jewels in its repository. I’m a huge advocate for the Studio collections that offer higher-quality fabrics and exacting stitching, especially on the label’s tailored pieces like trousers and blazers. Of course, those top-notch items go fast, so I’d recommend marking your calendar for the next drop on March 5.

Favorite Daughter

Looking like a style queen every time you leave the house need not be a difficult task. Favorite Daughter makes it easy with a collection of failproof staples. It’s no coincidence that pieces like the Favorite Pant have become bestsellers at a few multi-brand retail sites. And Refinery29 editors, Kristen Stewart, and Katy Perry all love the label’s dependable blazers.

Saint Laurent

We can’t talk blazers without mentioning the king. Saint Laurent is the working woman’s go-to for powerhouse women who want a bit of Parisian elegance sprinkled into their wardrobe. From sharp shoulders to exaggerated silhouettes, the house’s latest crop of blazers are truly irresistible. This is the type of fashion investment that will last you a lifetime so the cost-per-wear makes it worth every penny. Rihanna, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Margot Robbie, and more style stars would agree.

Byoma Bio-Collagen Radiance Mask

"This is the Elmer’s School Glue of face masks — hear me out. The thick, white formula dries down to a clear layer that you peel off after 20 to 30 minutes, just like PVA glue. But it’s not just a novelty. In true Byoma fashion, the mask is packed with hardworking ingredients: redness-reducing cica, hydrating bio-collagen (behind that glass-skin finish), and ceramides, which act like glue between skin cells to keep them soft and healthy. It’s not only fun to use, but it really does boost glow. I’ve been trialling it for a few weeks now, and the compliments have been coming in thick and fast." — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director

Byoma Bio-Collagen Radiance Facial Mask, $, available at Ulta BeautyGap Low Rise '90s Loose Jean

"I could’ve never guessed that I’d be wearing low-rise jeans in the year 2026 (let alone thrilled about it!) but here we are — and it’s all thanks to Gap. Full disclosure, I was influenced by my twin sister (a fashion designer at Gap), who put me on to the Low Rise '90s Loose Jeans, and as always, her taste is impeccable. These aren’t the dramatically low-rise jeans of the early 2000s with an inch-long zipper; instead, the baggier fit allows for them to naturally hit right above the hips, with a looser fit throughout the leg. They are very true to size, and I love that I could even find my size in petite lengths, allowing them to fit like a dream right off the rack. Dare I say, I’m even eyeing a few more pairs in different washes? Who is she!" — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

Gap Low Rise '90s Loose Jeans, $, available at GapAthleta Elation Ultra High Rise Flare Pant

"Athleta’s bestselling Elation line expanded in January, and I got to try the new Elation flare leggings live in action at a workout class. And let me tell you, I’ve tried many, many athletic leggings, and these really impressed me. They’re not constricting, but they are super supportive. The biggest win, though, was that I didn’t need to hike up the leggings throughout the 45-minute workout, which is a rarity for me. The regular length was a bit too long for me, but I’m ordering the petite length that I know will become my go-to workout legging." — Victoria Montalti, Fashion Shopping Writer

Athleta Elation Ultra High Rise Flare Pant, $, available at AthletaZara ZW Collection Wide Leg Pants
"I saw these pants in Zara and instantly bought them. Unlike your average pair of pleated trousers, these come with two deep side creases that make them look couture-level cool. And if that wasn’t enough, the silhouette is a dramatic wide leg that adds a modern touch to the overall finish. I plan on wearing them nonstop. After all, a great pair of black pants is a necessity in every wardrobe, especially since the occasions to wear them are endless. On in-the-office days, they’ll pair well with a classic button-down shirt and kitten heels and during elevated weekend moments they’ll look great with a halter top and my favorite pair of sneakers. Now that I think about it, I probably should grab the khaki colorway, too, before it sells out." — Alexis Bennett Parker, Director of Affiliate Partnerships 

Zara ZW COLLECTION WIDE LEG PANTS, $, available at ZaraMilk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly Shimmer

"Glitter is my beauty signature — whether it’s a champagne sparkle for everyday or a full-on rainbow party for special occasions, I live for it. So naturally, when Milk Makeup released its Cooling Water Jelly Shimmer sticks, I squealed with excitement. However, lest you think this is a see-it-from-space statement look, think again. The sparkles are so fine and delicate that the effect is more subtle and fairy-like than Euphoria extra. I’m partial to two shades, Fro Yo (a funfetti-like rainbow shimmer) and Bubbly, which combines gold and silver shimmer in the formula’s clear base. The stick feels so refreshing and glides smoothly as butter — and since it’s a solid formula and not a loose glitter, there’s no pesky fallout to worry about. Plus, it’s made with vegan collagen and aloe to lend a cooling boost of hydration that feels like heaven around the eyes and cheekbones." — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

Milk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly, $, available at SephoraAshley & Co Soothe Tube

"During the winter months, I go through hand cream like crazy. Most are just fine, some are a greasy mess, but only one delivers the long-lasting, non-oily moisture that keeps my hands looking and feeling their best — and it’s this one. I discovered Ashley & Co’s Soothe Tube on a recent trip to New Zealand (the brand’s home country!) and since then, I've been ruined for all other hand creams as a result. This buttery cream is so gentle and nourishing, but absorbs readily and doesn’t make my phone or laptop keyboard gross afterwards. It’s also lightly scented with all-natural fragrance oils from lily, ginger, sandalwood, and ylang ylang, making it a sensorial delight every time I reach for it. (This past Christmas, I gave tubes to my mom and sister, who both loved it just as much as I did.)" — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

Ashley & Co SOOTHE TUBE HAND CREAM TUI & KAHILI, $, available at Ashley & CoDove’s Whipped Shower Foam

"Ever since I was shampooing with L’Oréal Kids, I’ve always loved making bathtime a fun, great-smelling part of my day. And while my bathtub may house fewer candy-colored bottles these days, that doesn’t mean my products are boring. Case in point: My latest body wash obsession, Dove’s Whipped Shower Foam. This soft, creamy lather is a joy to spray on your bod, and the fresh berry scent is light yet decadent. (This stuff also doubles as shaving cream, saving precious shelf space in your shower.) Even after my sweatiest workouts, this stuff leaves me feeling fresh and clean, but never dry and stripped." — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

Dove Whipped Shower Foam - Rice Milk & Velvet Acai, $, available at TargetSaie SuperSuede Baked Powder Bronzer

"If you love the idea of bronzer but the ones you’ve tried have left your makeup looking streaky, muddy, or orange, look no further than Saie’s SuperSuede Baked Powder. It’s everything you want in a bronzer: silky (so it blends effortlessly), buildable without looking heavy, and infused with skin-loving ingredients like hydrating hyaluronic acid and nourishing squalane. It comes in six shades, spanning Fair to Light through to Dark to Deep." — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director

Saie SuperSuede™ Radiant Talc-Free Baked Powder Bronzer, $, available at SephoraBottega Veneta Large Barbara Tote

"I’ve been looking for a perfect work bag: one that will hold my laptop and still look good with every outfit. Bottega Veneta read my mind and just released the new Barbara tote. It’s an IYKYK design that whispers chic — no loud logos and no unnecessary bells and whistles. One of my favorite parts is this undeniably chic espresso color. It’s dark enough to match everything in my closet, yet it subtly stands out just enough to add depth and interest to each look. I also love that it comes in an extra-large size that’s roomy enough for all the essentials, but I can also hug it tightly under my arm while I’m running around New York City to work appointments. If the spring 2026 runways taught us anything, it’s that we all need an oversized emotional support bag." — Alexis Bennett Parker, Director of Affiliate Partnerships 

Bottega Veneta Large Barbara Tote, $, available at Bottega VenetaUniqlo Barrel Jeans

"Oh, do I love a Uniqlo staple. And after reviewing some spring newness, I got the opportunity to pick a pair of new jeans. I, of course, opted for barrel jeans in a dark wash. I loved the under-$50 price tag, how lightweight the denim felt (perfect for winter-to-spring transitional weather) and especially that I could get in-house alterations on the hems. I’m under 5'3'' tall so I usually have to buy petite pants (or suffer). But with Uniqlo’s free alteration service, I was able to get this pair hemmed to the perfect length." — Victoria Montalti, Fashion Shopping Writer

Uniqlo Barrel Jeans, $, available at UniqloElm Biosciences A3O Elemental Night Cream

"If anyone could convince me to use a night cream, it’s Martha Stewart. I’ve been testing her latest launch for Elm Biosciences for over a month now, and it’s been the highlight of my nighttime skincare routine. It’s deeply hydrating but doesn’t feel greasy, and it hasn’t broken me out once. The cushiony, plush texture feels like such a treat for skin, especially in these colder, drier months. (I brought it with me to a recent ski trip in Japan, where my face was struggling with the dry, biting wind.) Powered by the brand’s hero A3O complex — which combines acetyl zingerone (an antioxidant derived from ginger), bakuchiol, and a fatty acid ester — this night cream left my face feeling brighter, softer, and less dehydrated. And the packaging feels so luxe, I smile just thinking it’s likely the only thing Martha and I have in common." — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer
