I have to come clean: I’ve fallen victim to the microtrends. From the pastel checker prints to the jersey-style tank tops to the dozens of “core” variations, it seems like there’s always something new happening on social media that just looks so appealing.
Gone are those days, though. Now that I look back, it’s funny to see the fashion choices that I thought were so “it” when they’re hard to imagine being worn out in daily life.
I’ve made it a huge goal for myself to only go for pieces that I can see myself wearing in the long-term even if they weren’t a “trendy” item, and this has helped me astronomically with building a wardrobe that I actually feel comfortable and confident in.
There’s something so beautiful about picking your own style rather than blindly following what’s trending, and that might just be the classiest thing ever.
For such a classy girl’s wardrobe, Lioness immediately comes to mind.

Lioness was able to share a sneak peek of their very latest pieces, and we are completely in love with the sleek, city-girl-esque, deep neutral shades with pops of blues and leopard print:
The Backstage Vest
The quintessential European vacation outfit meets a cute update.
Shop the Backstage Vest in Onyx here.
This stunning top features a dipped v-neckline that has a folded-over label. The top has three buttons at the very top, making it open at the bottom.
I love pairing this with something low-waisted to show off the torso- but even a high-waisted maxi skirt or pair of slouchy jeans makes the outfit a total chef’s kiss.
The Dollhouse Knit Top
A cardigan just so sweet.
Shop the Dollhouse Knit Top in Soft Blue here.
I am obsessed with this uber-soft cardigan. This feels so classic and cute, and it’s the kind of look that never goes out of style. Even then, I love how it can still be styled with that’s trendy right now, such as the Coquette style or the Old Money style.
This sweet cardigan can be paired with just about anything. Talk about versatile!
The Pirouette Maxi Dress
Sporty girl meets fancy girl.
Shop the Pirouette Maxi Dress in Onyx here.
I am completely obsessed with how the Pirouette Maxi Dress combines the best of both worlds with a sporty, casual tank top-like design with a long flowy skirt. The tank top has a two-layer design that makes the shoulders a focus point, and the skirt is so free-form and easy to wear.
The all-black makes this an it-girl staple, and so easy to style. Pair it with your favorite sneakers or heels, and dress it up with your best jewelry.

Elevate The Basics
Who says basics have to be boring?
The Workwear Pant
This is the cargo, reimagined.
Shop the Workwear Pant in Petrol here.
I am obsessed with the washed-gray vibe. The petrol feel makes it look cutting edge, and this is the perfect complement to a little blank tank top and loads of accessories.
The Head in the Clouds Cardigan
A cardigan is a must- and a total classic.
Shop the Head in the Clouds Cardigan in Onyx here.
With a knit fabric that’s perfectly thick and soft, this cardigan features a snap button front and cuffs, with a bodice-hugging torso and wide cuffs.
This cardigan captured my heart because it was so minimalistic but had such an aura of elegance. It’s exactly what I can imagine a fashion icon like Carolyn Bessette Kennedy wearing.
The Ivy League Top
Academia meets cool girl chic.
Shop the Ivy League Top in Charcoal here.
I’m a sucker for a cute cardigan. The Ivy League Top means business- and with its form-fitting, press-stud closure running down the front, and the long sleeves with thumb holes, it’s a total arsenal of smart and pretty.
Style this with your favorite pleated mini skirt for the ultimate schoolgirl look, and with a pair of kitten heels and your favorite laptop bag, you are unstoppable.
The Clubhouse Tee
The ultimate baby tee.
Shop the Clubhouse Tee in Navy here.
This ringer-style baby tee is just so cute and effortlessly blurs the line between the sweet y2k baby tee trend and a form-fitting classic silhouette.
I love the sweet blue shade of the top, and the contrasting color neckline of the top brings in a cool visual detail. This is the perfect match for your favorite pair of jeans.
Getting Dressy
There’s nothing more fun than getting all dressed up.
The Practical Magic Maxi
There is something so special about romantic dresses, and this stunner makes me feel like I am in a daydream.
Shop the Practical Magic Maxi here.
This gorgeous dress features a deep v-neckline paired with ruching on the silk-like material, and open back creates the most intricate knot design.
Perfect for wearing in the city streets with some sneakers or to a lovely beach, this dress is just straight from a dream.
The Field of Dreams Maxi
I am obsessed with this off-shoulder dress moment.
Shop the Field of Dreams Maxi here.
If anything, this gorgeous dress was love at first sight. I love how the off-shoulder moment comes down to a waist-hugging bodice and a pleated skirt.
This is the kind of dress that you wear for an elegant late afternoon tea. I am so obsessed with how sophisticated it looks.
