A decade after normcore turned everyday essentials like gray hoodies and black leggings into fashion statements, luxury labels are once again finding inspiration in the least glamorous pieces in everyone’s wardrobe. At Ferragamo, models looked like they were leaving ballet class; at Tory Burch, the pool; at Tod’s, track practice. None of these pieces (save for that sequinned Tory tank) are showstoppers that would look out of place in the gym or on a coffee run—the appeal here comes down to smart styling. Spend a moment considering color, texture, and layering, and your basics will look like luxury pieces.

Mixing equal parts nautical style and East Coast prep, this trend popped up at cool-girl brands like Miu Miu, Sacai, and Proenza Schouler—meaning that it’s primed to be absolutely everywhere in the months ahead. Any coastal references are welcome: Breton stripes, sailor flares, flap collars, boat shoes, seashells, gold buttons, nautical netting. Whether you incorporate one piece into a look or dress as if you’re summering in Nantucket, it’s all breezy, moneyed, and effortlessly cool. What more could you want this season?
