This season, what you wear is about mood-driven style. The hashtag #ootd (outfit of the day) is trending with influencers on social media; they choose their complete look based on how they feel. Is it romantic? Bohemian? Comfortable? Pick your colors—anything from bold neons to pastels and neutrals—and ask yourself, “What mood am I in?”

It’s a sunny day for suiting. Tailored jackets don’t have to be black. Still think it’s not for you? Find a print or other solid color to pair with yellow … and remember to change your lipstick

feathers
Don’t be afraid to spread your wings and flaunt feathers on a dress or wrap. If you’re hesitant, wear this trend on a pair of shoes or handbag. It can be glamorous or whimsical—you decide.
