8 New Pieces You'll Want to Wear Immediately

Cool White Top

Rebecca Minkoff Women's Carmel Top for $118.80 (a low by $14)

Few pieces can be worn as many ways as a white top. Why not invest in an interesting one, with ruffles, sheer panels, and crocheted details? It can carry an outfit or serve as a base to let other pieces shine.

Modern Jeans

Topman Men's Super Spray On Skinny Fit Jeans for $37.99 (a low by $22)

Many a man has resorted to shopping in the women's department to achieve his desired fit in denim. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but these ultrastretchy jeans are actually designed for guys, which can't help but be more comfortable.

Extraordinary Dress

Ted Baker London Women's Fluxam Skater Dress for $224.45 (a low by $68)

This dress is a little bit Beatles and a little bit Betty Draper, and the blend of psychedelic and sophisticated is outstanding. It's retro in the best way and chic enough for any event you need to attend.

Mixed Media Shoes

English Laundry Men's Gants Slip-On Shoes for $117.25 (low by $58)

The slip-on construction and canvas strip may feel casual, but the leather parts makes these shoes decidedly stylish. You can even get them with monk straps, which are typically reserved for dress shoes.

Basic Jumpsuit

French Connection Women's Copley Crepe Jumpsuit for $88.80 ($59 off)

This jumpsuit may be basic, but the looks you can create with it are anything but. Fancy it up with accessories for evening, or keep it simple for a daytime ensemble that's a step above separates.

Polo with Sheen

Tommy Bahama Men's On Par Spectator Polo Shirt for $52.80 (a low by $35)

A polo is a polo, unless it's made with soft, lustrous fabric. Pima cotton looks and feels nicer than pique, so you'll be on point even when you pair it with plain khakis.

Chunky Sandals

Vince Camuto Women's Reston Sandals for $77.96 ($52 off)

With stacked heels, shiny studs, and geometric cutouts, these sandals will run from work to weekend, no problem. They're trendy but not tacky, and you'll be hard pressed to find a more comfortable pair of heels.

Smart Jacket

Ted Baker London Men's Jay Trim Fit Check Wool Sport Coat for $356.98 ($238 off)

If you're going to go as far as donning a sport coat, you may as well choose a snappy one. This tailored jacket features a conservative but striking print, so you'll avoid garish territory and be dapper instead of dull.
