STYLE

Your FYP is most definitely defined by come-and-go fashion finds, but we’re turning those trends on their heads and going all-out, all of the time. The aesthetic? Whatever speaks to you (but, like, turned up to an 11).

Modern Fairytale Vibes

Delicate pastels, wallpaper florals and ladylike accessories give modern princess vibes—without any of that damsel-in-distress stuff. (Sensible flats are a must for running the world.)

Blue top, Hill House, $95 | Pink top, Cider, $26 | Purse, Urban Revivo, $50 | Necklace, Biba & Rose, $38 | Dress, Cider, $30 | Jacket, Bellivera, $76 | Pants, Warehouse, $29 | Shoes, Chinese Laundry, $70

Dayglow Barbie

Rave-ready cargo pants, grungy combat boots, Clueless-style minis, Jazzercise crop tops and oversized claw clips get extra vibrancy (not to mention freshness) from super saturated hues.

Sweater, Teddy Fresh, $95 | Claw Clip, Altar’d State, $9 | Skirt, LookSky, $28 | Tank Top, Skims, $42 | Shoes, Dr. Martens, $140 | Purse, Furla, $208 | Pants, PrettyLittleThing, $68 | Earrings, Safsafu, $129

Polished & Prepped

Forget pink and green: The modern prep colors are black, white and hunter. Any combo of them looks ultra chic. Unexpected utilitarian details like chains and buckles add needed edge.

Necklace, Vitaly, $80 | Black Top, Ledin, $56 | Pants, Remain Birger Christensen, $190 | Purse, Telfar, $325 | Shoes, Journee Collection, $50 | Headband, Lands’ End, $15 | Grey top, Cider, $24 | Ring, J.Crew Factory, $15
