Last year’s spring/summer runways predicted that 2023 would be the year of denim — and that hasn’t changed for 2024. Whether at shows from the biggest fashion houses or via inspo-worthy street style looks sported throughout fashion month, showgoers are doubling down on the material…and we’re not just talking Canadian tuxedos (though those were in abundance). And if one style reigned supreme in the jean category, it might just be maxed-out patchwork denim jacket: a mosaic masterpiece of multiple shades of blue in a single item of outerwear. For proof, just look at the most recent London Fashion Week shows from Ahluwalia, which featured head-to-toe patchwork looks with reworked Levi’s denim, and KGL, which included intriguing patchwork co-ord sets.
From the streets of Copenhagen to Paris, the industry’s most à la mode show attendees have been sporting outer layers in multiple tones of fashion’s favorite fabric in the form of cropped coats, and even quasi-cardigans. Add to that the influence of celebrities like Julia Fox, who is known to dabble in kaleidoscopic denim, and it’s no wonder the patchwork denim jacket has become a top-searched term among cybershoppers scrambling for outerwear that’s bigger, bolder and bluer.
Be it a bomber or a bolero, upcycled or oversized, there are plenty of ways to adopt 2024’s multifaceted take on the good ol' jean jacket, with patchwork options available for every budget.

If there’s one thing that Target is truly exceptional at, it’s creating sought-after designer collaborations. And the newest addition to its impressive portfolio is the upcoming Target x Diane von Furstenberg collection. The New York-based designer, most famously known for the wrap dress, has teamed up with her granddaughter Talita von Furstenberg and Target to create a stylish cross-category and multi-generational collection.
“Every collection we create is about making women feel confident so they can be the women they want to be,” Diane von Furstenberg said in a press release. “Talita and I are proud to partner with Target to extend that invitation to even more women who want to experience timeless pieces that bring effortless glamor and empowerment to their everyday lives.”
The Target x DVF collection holds over 200 items across womenswear, beauty, home decor, and more. These pieces feature iconic archival DVF prints as well as new patterns exclusive to Target — and they’re all just as cheery as the next one. From wrap dresses and matching sets to activewear, loungewear, and handbags, this collaboration offers a wide array of vibrant pieces, including extended sizing (up to 4X) and adaptive styles for kids. And even better, most styles come in under $50!
The DVF x Target collection is set to launch on March 23, but it’s available to start perusing online, which means you can plan out which pieces you want to cart up (before they inevitably sell out). So click on to preview some of the spring-ready clothing and accessories now.

It’s not that we don’t love all things florals and pastels — it’s just that spring fashion has so much more to offer than seasonal tropes. And as the season of renewal, it’s only fitting that we refresh the clothes we move, play, and live in. Luckily, Lululemon has done it again with a refreshing drop of new pieces and seasonal colorways that will have you yearning for longer walks outdoors and getting in touch with your wild side. (And as your online shopping besties, we take pride in bringing you the most worth-it drops from your favorite brands.) From off-duty wardrobe must-haves to activewear to inspire movement, join us as we dive deep into the new spring styles we’re eyeing as the weather warms up.
Tops & Bodysuits
From asymmetrical long-sleeved crops to cami versions of the internet-beloved Align Tank, Lululemon’s spring array of workout-friendly shirts and tanks has something for every mood. Plus, new colorways of the buttery-soft Wundermost bodysuits are perfect for transitional dressing as we shed winter layers.
Even as winter thaws into spring, March can be a time of notoriously fickle transitional weather. For chilly mornings that morph into sunny afternoons, a light layering piece like a roomy fleece or body-skimming jacket is just what you need to get through your day.
From variations on existing Lululemon icons — think: Align Pant with a asymmetrical waistband and ribbed versions of the Wunder Train tight, to name two — to lightweight cargo pants that go from the studio to street, these styles are equal parts fresh and functional.
Whether you’re hitting the links, perfecting that backhand, or simply want to look cute during your workout, Lululemon has you covered with skirts and dresses that are tailor-made for movement. (Hello, built-in shorts!) Plus, style cues like micro pleats, thigh-grazing hemlines, and buttery-soft fabric make these a natural choice for weekend brunch, date night, and anything else on your iCal.
Whether you’re searching for the perfect casual sneaker to match everything in your closet, or looking for a place to hold keys, loose change, and other everyday essentials, Lululemon’s thoughtfully designed accessories are the ultimate outfit upgrade.
One of the highlights of Ciao Roma is the selection of matching sets perfect for the spring. These matching blouses, day jackets, and trousers combine for easy, breezy, one-and-done looks. For a pop of color, peruse the collection’s floral-print pieces. For a more subtle look, there’s a cream double-breasted blazer and pair of trousers in a faint pinstripe print. You can also find the very chic Marena jacket available in both a rich suede and a lightweight cotton-linen blend with matching pants.
Pretend like you’re part of the Medici family with the romantic Medicis mini dress or take on the patchwork denim trend this warm-weather season with a button-down blouse. Or go on and pair a (drool-worthy) crochet-finish jacket with cropped printed pants or a pleated mini skirt for stylish springtime outings.
Whether you’re in need of a spacious crossbody bag for everyday life, an oversized tote bag for those long beach or sightseeing days, or a mini basket bag for al fresco cocktails and dinners, Ciao Roma has a style for every need and occasion. Plus, many styles, like the Claude bag, come in spring-ready colors like lilac.
If you find yourself on the cobblestone streets of Italy and want to blend in with the locals, take their lead and stick to block-heel sandals, rather than stilettos. We’re personally a fan of the casual Florie fisherman sandal for long walking days and of the silky, striped High Carmela heels for nights out on the town.
