Are you ready to turn heads? Go bold with this modern, tropical print. Added bonus? The empire waistline and drawstring waist are as flattering as they are comfortable.
$29.99 at Target.

Contrast Collars are fashionable right now. Unfortunately, the contrast collar often conjures up images of Gorden Gekko raking in the dough and scheming people out of their hard earned cash. On top of that, you don’t often see it done casually, at least not well.
This may be an exception. This short sleeve piece comes in a great shade of gray. With a contrast collar and a hidden button placket, it combines two hot trends of the moment. Get it while it (and the trend) is hot.
For $165, you’re paying extra for a superior cut, lightweight fabric and, in Robert Geller, a designer label as well.
$165 at Jake.

Why do we love this shirt? Let us count the ways…
(1) The versatile plaid fabric goes with all of your summer basics,
(2) Linen is comfortably breathable, and
(3) The fitted shape makes this shirt look sharp.
$39.50 at Gap.

We just can’t get enough of purple–and apparently, neither can you. 95% of you voted Yes to Purple last week. We also can’t get enough of the delicate origami folds on this gorgeous blouse.
$49 (approx) at Topshop.

Have a dozen (or two) sauces you want to taste? Suddenly, trying them out is practical with this organically inspired cell platter. Or just plate your dish a little differently with this unique serving dish.
$58 at MOMA Design Store.

Fresh and summery, this top is great for those of us with heavy arms. We’re loving the mini-pleats at the neck and hemline, feminine details that offset the navy color.
$29.95 (sale) at American Eagle.

There’s something that’s just so fresh about a gingham shirt. We’re loving both colorways–the purplish blue and the aqua blue. And at this price, you can get both!
$15 at Old Navy.

Sartorialists, relax; your hanger problems have been solved. The Hanger Project is a company that specializes in making high quality jacket, shirt, skirt, and pants hangers. The small company was the brainchild of a forum member on the excellent AskAndyAboutClothes.com.
Often, people spend a lot of time on tailoring fine garments but overlook a key aspect to clothes maintenance: the clothes hanger. Other times, people will be conscious of having proper hangers, but cannot find good ones.
All the hangers are great, but especially fantastic are the jacket hangers, which provide the most shoulder support of any hanger I’ve seen, including those at upscale department stores such as Neiman Marcus, Saks or Bergdorf Goodman (although the Bergdorf ones are great too). The shoulder is the one area even the best tailor in the world won’t touch; these hangers will ensure that the shape of your jackets stay as they were made. East Coasters, make sure to get the suit hangers for your fine wool overcoats.
$21.95 at Hanger Project.

Can’t you see this sweater paired with dark jeans tucked into boots? We’re loving the vintage vibe–without the vintage price!
$14.99 (sale) at Old Navy.

Sure, it’s kind of pricey for a sweater, but it’s a modern classic with a smart color combination.
$72 at J Crew.
