2. Destructured Leather Sandals ($70)

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.
