2. Destructured Leather Sandals ($70)

3. Everlane Petra Backpack ($330)
This luxe backpack "has anytime chic written all over it," says Libby MacCarthy at Brit + Co. Made of full-grain Italian leather, it has ultrasuede lining and feet to protect the base. Buy it at Everlane.
4. MiH Lou Jean ($270)
The phrase "cropped flares" yokes together "two of the most terrifying style descriptors ever," says Katie Rosseinsky at Lifestyle.one. But fear not. The phrase also describes a popular new denim shape that "feels both retro and modern, and very wearable indeed." Buy them at Amazon.
5. Theory Eyodis Top ($147)
A white shirt is "always timely and the quickest shortcut to chic," says Nancy MacDonnell at The Wall Street Journal. Theory's Lisa Kulson has come up with a modern silhouette whose nipped waist and flirty peplum "deliver sophistication in a distinctly feminine way." Buy it at Nieman Marcus.
