My Fun Mails: new year

Halter necks are back — and so are longer and leaner silhouettes. We like how this sleek black maxi dress generously embraces both.

Brights were a prominent Spring topic as displayed by Jil Sander, Prada, Lanvin, and Nina Ricci. If the vivid hue is too much to swallow, make a small, yet punchy impact with this Mulberry iPhone bag.

Proenza Schouler, Suno, and Vena Cava were all about modest and full-skirted hemlines for Spring. We heart this pleated print version from Corey Lynn Calter.

As shown by Elie Tahari, Altuzarra, Marc Jacobs, and Jason Wu, the '70s will be in high gear come Spring. These Anlo wide leg jeans are the ideal everyday staple.

Swap out your metal watch for this classic stunner by Bulova — we love the simple shape and alligator embossed texture.

Designers like Chris Benz, Oscar de la Renta, Derek Lam, and Diane von Furstenberg showed of a range of artsy prints for Spring. This one from Erdem can be easily worked into a casual or dressy ensemble.

White wide-legged pants were spotted all over the runway from designers like Marc by Marc Jacobs, Torry Burch, Tommy Hilfiger, Jason Wu, and Jenni Kayne. This pair from the aforementioned is cut to perfection and not too transparent.

Wedges are the perfect remedy for those of us who have to stomp the pavement daily. This camel and snakeskin pattern from Elizabeth and James pays ode to Spring's ongoing neutral trend.
