Black and white patterns and bright colors look exceedingly fresh these days. But remember, it’s 2006, not 1966—to keep this 1960s trend looking modern, try pairing an op art print with solid colors.

Save some space in your closet for paisley, whether it’s for this winter or the upcoming resort season. It’s a subtle way to add a bit of exoticism to your wardrobe without going overboard on this season’s Czarina look. And, since paisley is timeless, you’ll be able to wear it next year as well.

We just love polka dots. Why? Because they span all seasons and occasions. Polka dot prints are perfect for a summer barbecue, a holiday cocktail party or just another day in the office. They can be serious or whimsical. Best of all, this classic look will never go out of style.
Feeling conspicuous? Try smaller dots (such as the ones on this Kate Spade), or Swiss dots, like the ones on our dress below.
