Trend 2: Stripes
Give some flair to your outfit with a striped blazer or blouse. Stripes look great with many colors and best with neutrals.

Trend 3: White Wear
Look elegant yet powerful with an all white outfit. A white or cream pantsuit or skirt and blouse is a professional, clean and feminine look for day to night.

Trend 4: Color Blocking
Color blocking is a easy way to mix and match your closet staples and formal pieces.Stay within the color family and don't got over board with brights, pastels and neons.

Trend 5: Lace
