1. Slingbacks: Add a touch of retro glam in a kitten heel slingback, available in an array of colors and textures.

2. Staying Neutral: The elevated basics have risen to the top this year in soft olive greens and camel hues. This high-quality, cozy knit fits right into the trend.

13. Peek-a-Boo Bra: The very hint of a lacey bra peeking above your neckline has been so big, brands are sewing it into the lining of tops. Try this frilly lace-trimmed bra and choose a low-cut top to give it a try.
