Eyelet Eyelet.
Nothing rings in spring like a crisp white dress with eyelet details. It’s perfect for a dinner on the terrace, Sunday brunch or even for a more casual cover-up at the beach. It also can be colorful, so don’t shy away from a tropical hue. But do wear a slip if your dress is completely eyelet, unless it’s a cover-up of course.

Cropped Jacket Cropped jackets.
In the next couple months hems will start getting a little shorter and bikinis will make a debut, but don’t ditch jackets just yet; April is linked with showers for a reason. These cropped versions are ideal for April-through-June climate control with slight coverage—but nothing that’ll make you toasty. Their shapes can be boxy or demure and buttons or embellishments (like the rosette on this Marc by Marc Jacobs crop) really liven it up.
