Associated with glamour and decadence, feathers were once the sole domain of red carpet gowns and showgirl costumes. But recently, feather details have made their way onto the street. While not everyone can pull off full-on feathered dresses in adventurous highlighter hues, they are easy enough to wear in small doses. Try fluffy plumes embellishing a sheer skirt or peeking out from cuffs and hems for a touch of va-va-voom appeal to an otherwise simple ensemble.

Pair an abbreviated top with a longer skirt for contrast.

With parties and soireés lined up, outfits have to be planned well in advance. Designers looked to the 1950s for inspiration, bringing back the quintessential silhouette of the era: A cinched waist and voluminous skirt. Alexander McQueen gives the feminine frock a modern update with a graphic black and pale pink print, asymmetrical sleeves and slick wellies. Erdem’s floral print dress is crowned with a giant, floppy bow on one shoulder and worn with brogues for a casual twist. For maximal glamour, channel Brandon Maxwell with both a skirt (and hair) that are poufed to perfection.

It’s never too early to have a taste of summer with this season’s crop of fruit motifs and prints. Look to Carolina Herrera for a beautiful off-shoulder frock in a red cherry print, or Moschino’s mini sheath dress with green cherries for a dollop of cheeky Pop Art vibes. Or go for a subtler approach with Gucci’s sorbet-hued sequin and lace dress paired with a strawberry bum bag. Whatever your pick of apparel or accessory, prepare for a juicy time.
