It may be called casual weekend, but that doesn’t mean this trend is limited to just Saturdays and Sundays. We’re loving comfortable classics reimagined with an earthy color palette and unique, subtle details for any day of the week.

We’ve officially got the blues, and we’re not mad about it either. In fact, this coastal-inspired trend is giving us all the warm-weather inspiration we need for spring and beyond.
From runway to everyday
The bottom line: the more blue, the better. Wear the hue in striped shirts, retro style tees, light-wash denim, retro sneakers, and even sunglasses.
Essential pieces to try:
Shirt jacket
Whether you call it a shirt jacket or a shacket, go for one with varying shades of blue stripes to add a layer of cool to your outfit.
Classic-fit T-shirt
Aside from the throwback feel these vertical stripes bring, they’ll also help you appear taller and leaner.
Slim straight jeans
A faded light-blue wash is great for accentuating the classic, casual attitude of this denim.
Sleek sneakers
Retro touches give a distinct finish to these cool sneakers and the hint of blue is subtle but effective.
3. City safari
Imagine you were going on a safari, but in the concrete jungle. Prepare for the adventure with tech fabrics, rustic prints, and a tonal color palette. Think utilitarian pieces, but from a minimalist perspective.
From runway to everyday
This one is all about practicality, so tech parkas, utility jackets, denim, and cropped chinos are all on the list. Add some personality to the mix with rustic prints and cool details.
Essential pieces to try:
Utility jacket
We love this streamlined silhouette because it can easily be dressed up or down, depending on your mood.
Short sleeve button-up
Elevate your button-ups by going for one with a neat pattern, a unique color, or even a combination of both.
Cropped chinos
Slim-fitting chinos tailored to show just a little bit of ankle are an effortless way to give outfits a modern finish.
Sporty sneakers
If you’re looking for a pair that’s as stylish as it is functional, look for breathable construction and color-block detailing.
4. Minimal classics
Who knew simple pieces could be so effective? This trend doesn’t need all the bells and whistles to stand out, so build on your wardrobe essentials by going sleek and understated.
From runway to everyday
This is where you’ll want to invest in elevated basics featuring a neutral color palette. Since this trend is all about creating a classic look, versatile pieces that can be worn over and over is the goal.
Essential pieces to try:
Double-breasted trench coat
This is a staple in any wardrobe. The micro houndstooth pattern details this trench beautifully without being over the top.

Wear it to work, on a date, or fancy weekends—a tailored fit blazer is a handsome add-on when you want to step it up.
Floral shirt
Soften up your sport shirts by going with an unexpected floral pattern in a dreamy pastel hue.
Brown loafers
Tassels add a charming touch to these dress shoes and they feel especially modern when worn with no-show socks.
5. Prep core
Preppy pieces are getting a cool makeover with airy pastels combined with a punch of color. With a flair for the dramatic, this trend is classic but with a twist.
From runway to everyday
Though the pieces include the usual suspects like hoodies, polos, chinos, and sneakers, you’ll want to pick brightly colored pieces that’ll add a pop of color to any look.
Essential pieces to try:
Pullover hoodie
A comfortable hoodie with an adjustable hood is great for cooler spring mornings especially when the color mimics fresh blooms.
Pocket polo
This textured, micro-printed polo is polished to perfection especially with its cool color-blocked design.
Bermuda shorts
If you’re going bright and colorful with your shirt or shoes, you’ll want to balance out the color palette with at least one neutral.
