First Place

Combining trends doesn’t always work (see: jeggings), but sometimes the elements come together in perfect harmony. Richard Nicoll‘s structured minidress gives you two Spring trends for the price of one. The boned and molded bodice is in line with the exposed lingerie look, while the ribbon sash suggests military without being obvious. We recommend pairing it with upswept hair and minimal jewelry for a refined cocktail look. Click the image to shop.
