1. Wide Belt Mastering spring's new proportions is a cinch with a wide belt, be it in sexy red vernis or soft velvet.
2. Babydoll Dress This spring head back in time with a '60s-style babydoll dress; an instant way to turn heads.
3. Cuffed Shorts Teamed with a cropped jacket or a button-down and vest, cuffed shorts go way beyond weekend wear.
4. Superlean Pants Spring's must-have pants are strictly tailored, superlean, and slashed just north of the ankles.
5. Wedge Heels With hemlines scaling new heights, it's only fashionable that wedge heels follow.
6. Chunky-Heeled Platforms Sleek stilettos have been replaced by chunky-heeled platforms, a perfect match for spring's no frills silhouette.
7. Anything Nude The non-color of the season is nude, occasionally paired with black for after-dark appeal.
8. Nauticals Nothing says spring like blue-and-white sailor stripes and bold brass buttons.
9. Small Bags This spring marks the return of sleek handbags and the exit of luggage disguised as handbags.
10. Extra-Large Tote While handbags will be smaller, an extra-large tote is the season's other essential accessory.
