The Core Staples
Chocolate Brown Dress Pants
Polished and versatile, chocolate dress pants are the ultimate anchor piece this season. They bring a touch of richness to any outfit and pair effortlessly with bold prints.
- Style them with a cream & pink stripe sweater with a heart for a playful, feminine twist.
- Add a burgundy sweatshirt and sleek loafers for an elevated off-duty look.
Wide-Leg Leopard Denim
This is the leopard print of the moment—modern, wearable, and full of attitude. Wide-leg silhouettes add drama and comfort, while the print makes every step a statement.
- Pair with a taupe cozy sweater to balance the boldness with softness.
- Dress them up with a crisp button-down or an argyle sweater vest layered over a shirt for a nod to preppy chic.
