Claudia Li

The pinstripes and patterns at Claudia Li were lovely, but the oversized orchid florals and sparkly, shiny gold of this gender-neutral shorts set was the scene-stealer. — Tyler McCall

Rachel Comey

I would be eager to wear everything in the designer's 15th anniversary show, but this ruffled, asymmetrical blouse won me over completely. It's the definition of "festive." — Chantal Fernandez

This was probably the simplest look at Rachel Comey's 15th anniversary show (awesomely set on the sidewalk on Crosby street outside of her store), and thus my favorite. Those high-waisted, cropped khakis are the pants of my dreams and those pink ankle-strap heels are the shoes of my dreams. Really. - Dhani Mau

Kaelen

This textured cherry print was my favorite, and the designer said it's actually exclusive from a fabric mill in Italy. It comes in a bunch of different silhouettes, but this jumpsuit is the dreamiest. — Chantal Fernandez

This slightly pajama-esque top and wide-legged trouser combo is everything I want to wear every single day of my life. I'm not kidding. Wear it with minimal heels to a wedding with a cocktail dress code! Wear it with white sneakers for a day at the office! Wear it around the house for an extremely chic day at home! Shall I could go on? — Maura Brannigan

Sachin & Babi

The ballerina modeling this particular frock at Sachin & Babi's presentation made me fall in love with it's soft, sheer florals and crisp black piping. It's perfect for all sorts of occasions, but especially dancing. — Chantal Fernandez

R13

This denim on denim look stood out from R13's entire collection because of the beautiful grey wash, the way the shorts are cut and the styling. It's exactly the kind of throwback grungy, angsty look that feels really relevant right now. — Chantal Fernandez

Alejandra Alonso Rojas

This soft suit was sleek and effortless, and actually made me consider the merits of a full pink suit for the first time. Especially one paired with a delicate knit version of a polo. — Chantal Fernandez

Whit

Whit designer Whitney Pozgay was inspired by childhood road trips down the California Coast from San Diego to Arizona for her spring 2017 collection, resulting in a subtly Mexican/Southwestern-inspired aesthetic and color palette. This is one of those perfect summer dresses that requires minimal effort to look cute: Just throw on some sunglasses and espadrilles and you're good to go. - Dhani Mau
