Gingham, nautical stripes, tomboy favorites such as the shrunken military jacket: It’s easy to distinguish the moving parts to the J.Crew look, one that Lyons herself has made so appealing to women all over the world in the last decade. All those classics made an appearance in the J.Crew Spring / Summer 2016 show at New York Fashion Week, only often they were tweaked in subtle ways. One sun-bleached menswear-inspired plaid shirt was paired with a matching bias-cut skirt that was covered in glittering sequins, while another was recast as an off-the-shoulder peasant blouse—what is fast becoming the answer to the crisp white button-down. The brand’s knack for preppy print-on-print combos came through particularly well in a graphic blue-on-blue gingham shirt and pants ensemble.
This spring will be full of light sun-kissed colors according to the brand, which is well indicated in the numbers of the line. The loose off-the-shoulder light green midi dress with sailor striped belt, high-waist straight shorts with floral patterns on a pastel beige color or the yellow midi circle skirt that looks absolutely amazing when matched with the off-the-shoulder cape-sleeve sky-blue top are ultimate must-have pieces for the next season to come. 
We see neither much makeup nor complicated hair ideas; merely a slight color hint and messy top buns. Instead, there is a bunch of accessories you would like to wear, including the big earrings, necklaces and wayfarer or butterfly sunglasses. The message here: Put on a dress or a skirt with a matching top, one of the amazing graphic clutch-like or tote bags, gather your hair into a loose top knot and go have fun!
