Chanel’s new Boy.Friend watch collection—like the ideal boyfriend, perhaps?—is traditionally masculine in its aesthetics (that clean, rectangular face!) but with a spirit only improved by a light feminine touch. And refined materials—even brilliant-cut diamond embellishment, if you so chose!—mean style needn’t be sacrificed for the allure of androgyny. A new twist on a classic, courtesy of Chanel? Don’t mind if we do! This is a piece of arm candy that’s around for the long haul.
There may be others champing at the bit, but Ralph Lauren’s spring collection proves that he remains the master of all-American fashion. From the blue-and-white striped top paired with a navy floral skirt and accented with a neck scarf, to the matching twinset—its cardigan tied at the waist of a pair of periwinkle pants—the effort was a welcome departure from the decadence we so often expect from a fashion show. (Well, at least most fashion shows.) Lauren also made a great case for the brown leather belt. It will certainly be at the top of many spring shopping lists
