Trending At HQ: What We’re Buying Right Now
We’ve been dreaming of this collection since since its easy luxe tailoring, chic split-hem silhouettes, and zebra everything first danced across our minds. Below, our Spring picks from the people who know the brand best–our stylish colleagues.
The Bamboo Buckle Bag
“One of the things I love most about this collection is that there are bamboo buckles… everywhere. My favorite bamboo buckled bag? The Marlowe hobo bag. I have been waiting for this perfect capsule wardrobe traveling, bamboo buckle toting, delicious leather loving tote to come out since first seeing it on a mood board last year, and trust me when I say it is the IT piece of the season. I’ve been bringing it to work, weekend activities, and soon, to Italy. Ciao bella.” – Micaela
Suit Up For Spring
“My favorite style this season is the denim suit. It has an easy luxe vibe to it with the double-breasted blazer and mid-rise pant. I love wearing the blazer open to work with a white tee under and buttoning it up for evening events. Plus, the Ressie blazer and Foster denim pant are great hero pieces on their own which makes them really fun to mix and match with other staples in my wardrobe.” – Zoe
So Coastal: The Hat Edit
“I am obsessed with the Freida raffia hat. It’s the perfect warm-weather accessory to wear to breakfast, lunch, and the beach. I wear it with a bathing suit, cover up, sundress,... Sometimes I just bring it to the beach to look cool. Plus, it protects you from the sun.” – Shannon
The Romantic Boho Midi
“The Paloma dress is the perfect easy outfit to throw on to look polished and chic. It has a beautiful easy everyday print with a hint of boho romance and is the perfect dress to pair with both heels and sandals. Just grab a good bag and a perfect pair of sunglasses and you’re ready to get out the door and take on the day.” – Tyler
The Western Chambray Shirt
“This western denim shirt–also known as the Scotto denim shirt–is my favorite piece in this season’s men’s collection. It has a very beautiful fade that is equal parts genuine and versatile, and is so soft. The pearl snaps add an unexpected elevation and authenticity. I wear it under a sportcoat to get a nice high-low look, and it is also easy to wear with white jeans and top off with a pair of statement shoes.” – Alex
The Wide-Leg Statement Pant
“My favorite piece from this collection is the Leora pant. I’ve been pairing it with a Jamey cashmere sweater. Any color works, but my favorite is the light blue because the print of the pant is so loud it’s nice to have a basic sweater on top.” – Rocio
Eye On: Modern Accessories
“I like the Sosie sunglasses and Hannah suede sandals. Since I’m based in HQ in Brooklyn, I can’t wait to wear the sandals with jeans and a blouse when the weather gets warmer. I’ve been wearing the sunglasses everyday to work and know they’ll be a staple throughout the spring.” – Aasha
The Printed Icon
“The Lois shirt in mini greenhouse has a great pattern and print with a bit of a 70s boho vibe. I’ve been wearing it with a pair of blue jeans and sneakers.” – Jamie
Walk This Way: Loafer Love
The Denim Jacket Reboot
“My favorite piece is the Colby Jacket. It’s the perfect piece to dress up or dress down. I’ve been wearing it with a white shirt and white Deanne pant to work during the weekdays and blue jeans and Angelique sneakers for running around the city on the weekends. I also love the pop of JMac heritage print on the cuffs and collar.” – Jordan
The Vitality Of The Cardigan
“I find cardigans to be such a vital closet staple for their versatility alone. With the way the weather is nowadays, you could go from a brisk morning coffee run to a blisteringly cold dinner reservation by the evening; a nice cardigan will have your back in any occasion. I've been really digging our new Ira Cardigan—it's a pleasantly neutral color (so you know it goes with just about everything), but it also features a shawl collar giving off just enough of a formal look that you could wear it for anything from a day in the office to a nightcap on the weekend.” – Stephen
The Oversized Shirt
“The Gramercy shirt in Jaipur Daisy is my favorite piece this season. This men’s shirt is slightly oversized on me and looks so good worn with white denim or as a cover up to the beach.” – Hannah
Capsule Collection, This Way
“The Ermine shirt is the best closet staple. I wear it during the day with the Rainey jeans and during the night with the Deanne pants. The split-hem on both bottoms is also the perfect way to show off my boots, and I can’t wait for the warmer weather to pair with heels and sandals.” – Katherine
The Romantic Puff-Sleeve Cardigan
“The Yana cashmere cardigan was my first pick from the Spring collection and is now part of my weekly rotation. I love wearing it with denim and sneakers or wide leg pants and boots for transitional dressing and chill Florida nights. It’s a cozy classic in the perfect hue and absolutely my favorite *add to cart* this month.” – Maggie
Animal Magnetism
“My favorite is the Haarlem dress in seabray. I like to wear it as is with a belt and the Ondra leather sandals, and when temperatures drop I throw the Colby denim jacket over it.” – May
Show Your Stripes
“The Morley sweater is a great shape. Perfect with a high waisted pant worn out or slightly tucked in. It’s an updated silhouette, cropped and boxy, with a classic navy and white stripe, and a great transition away from winter dark colors so it’s easy to wear during the transition season. The cotton modal fabric is comfortable with a soft, cozy feel, and it washes so well.” – Kristin
The Men’s Sweater, For Her
“I have been wearing the Bastian sweater nonstop. Since it’s from the men’s collection, it’s a little oversized which makes it the ultimate cozy layer to throw on. It’s the perfect piece to wear to the office, on the weekends, and lounging at home. I’ve been bopping around in it with leggings when working from home or running errands and pairing it with boot-cut jeans and booties when going into HQ. It’s so good my brother wants one too.” – Virginia
