Spring Trend Alert: Blazers, Nauticals, and Crisp Cottons

For the upcoming season, it seems nerd chic is back from winter's hibernation. Sure, with typical preps like Ralph Lauren, we see anchors, flags, and nauticals galore! But now, it seems, other designers have caught on to the sporty look and adopted additional simple pieces like blazers and cotton button-downs in order to acclimate for the utmost comfort during Spring's unpredictable weather. This shoot embellishes the sexy-smart look in a secret garden, with secretary glasses, oxford flats, and strung out stars.
