This is EVERY BODY GETS DRESSED’s weekly edit of the only newness, sales, and restocks worth your attention.

Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's minimalism isn’t going anywhere this summer. For some of you, this is good news. If you never adhered to it, or if you’re ready for something else, Dôen just dropped its second spring drop. It contrasts the 90s stripped-back codes with frills, pastels, lace inserts, fringe hems, and soft florals. The brand shared the moodboards and color story behind the collection, and while I’m usually immune (at best) to copywriting, it succeeded in making me both hungry and willing to drop $400: the creamy yellow of the Marcelle dress and Naida merino cardigan is inspired by “whipped butter and lemon tarts”. The Sidra skirt features pintucks and lace in semi-sheer ramie in a white they call “sea spray, night-blooming jasmine, and milky moonlight glow”. The Amérelle dress is a '30s-inspired silk georgette dress with multicolor florals on a peachy base. Rounding out the palette: the Yvette silk top and Alesia cashmere short-sleeve cardigan boast a silvery blue-green shade. The Alesia is my pick from the collection: I’d wear it open over a silk bra and a low-rise satin midi skirt.

Parisian shoe brand Le Monde Béryl launched its latest collection. The stars are these beaded sandals, available in ice-blue satin and black or burgundy leather. I have a past-season version of their Babouche kitten heels, and they’re my most comfortable heels by a mile. Order your true size.
Apiece Apart is one of those brands (as are Another Tomorrow and Almada Label) that make extraordinarily good staples, although it’s not always easy to tell by just browsing their websites. That’s where my job gets most interesting: trying pieces in-store, following Reddit threads, and searching for videos of pieces being worn, so I can tell you which unassuming black cotton pants will give you the sharp silhouette you’ve been looking for. Apiece Apart makes a few of these pieces: the Spa Pleat pants, if you’ve ever swooned over Brittany Bathgate’s precisely structured looks; they’re one of her favorite pairs of pants. She wears them in cream and navy, and the Spring collection brings a new, rosewater color. (Here’s a video of her wearing a few of their pieces.) Another standout piece is the Bari crop trousers: they’re available in both standard-length and petite-length inseams. If you wear neutrals and already have too many black trousers, the Rosin shade is a stunning, deep, dark green.
Sheerness was a key feature of the spring 2026 shows. Tory showed sheer-knit polos with beaded embellishments, Prada layered see-through skirts over bloomers, and Saint Laurent contrasted sharp tailoring with transparent fabrics. Something to see through, with something worth seeing underneath: Everlane has two launches that let you play with that idea. They brought back their Air Alpaca knit fabric with a crewneck sweater and short-sleeve cardigan. The fabric is semi-sheer, designed to layer over a cami or bralette. They say it’s itch-proof, although I haven’t yet had the chance to test that claim. It’s delicate, so don’t buy it with the intention of wearing it every day; rather, see it as sexy knitwear for evening wear. Your other option is their new ‘Tissue’ fabric. It’s a lightweight organic cotton-Tencel blend, with different sleeve lengths and necklines. I like the boatneck in dusty rose.

Jamie Haller dropped another cracker of a pant. These have a very baggy cropped silhouette, and the designer calls them her favorite she’s made.
Rachel Comey is one of those designers (like Amy Smilovic from Tibi) who is laser-focused on the customer and what she needs. When interviewed about her spring collection, she didn’t care for flowery descriptions of inspiration or seasonal messages; she prefers to get technical about fabrics: the mint-shade crinkled satin of this cropped chore jacket and matching midi skirt, the crisp cotton with a hint of stretch used to create asymmetry and pleats on this perfect dress, the light woven gossamer on these unique pants with a skirt overlay, or the softly structured cotton pointelle of this polo. The show for this collection, thrown in the alleyway behind her showroom, where the models did their own hair and makeup, felt like an intimate happy hour. Rachel Comey doesn’t seem interested in artifice and prefers a passionate discussion of the different scenarios, ages, bodies, and lifestyles of the women she designs for.

Speaking of being passionate about fabric, Anine Bing’s aesthetic isn’t one I feel any particular affinity for, but I will never stop talking about their signature outerwear fabric. It’s a heavyweight, double-faced wool-cashmere blend they use to make structured blazers and coats that they leave unlined: no sweaty poly lining clinging to smells over time. They have a 30% off Spring Friends and Family sale going on, and if you’re in the market for a camel oversized wool trench coat, a deep brown streamlined tailored coat, or a camel short boxy blazer (the cropped version of my beloved Quinn blazer), these are as good as you’ll ever find them. Use code SPRING30 for the discount (US only).
Your bag is your pop of color? Savette drops their Symmetry pochette and other classic styles in a new chartreuse shade (a high-energy, acidic lime-green) and Hunting Season comes out with a new teal color for my favorite small top-handle bag.
In accessories, AYR launched silk paisley bandana scarves. This look had a revival moment last month when Tod's sent models down the runway in printed silk scarves pinned with shimmering brooches. Most bandana scarves you'll find are cotton; these in baby blue, ballet slipper pink, and mulberry brown silk, feel less rodeo. I’d wear it as a headscarf.
Uniqlo’s website is a hellscape, but it’s worth navigating this week for the sake of the Uniqlo U collection. It’s one of their most interesting sub-lines, designed out of Paris by Christophe Lemaire and Sarah-Linh Tran. They bring experimental fabrics and construction that the main collection doesn’t have. This season they’re calling it “neo-core”: a refinement of essential shapes, in a palette of washed mauves, ochres, and dusty purples. Two pieces stand out in the reviews: the easy-gathered pants, pleated trousers with an elastic waist, and a drawstring hem that toggles between a straight and a balloon silhouette. And the cotton-blend short blouson, a transitional jacket that’s unlined, cropped, and made of cotton-nylon twill. The Cut editors who tried it in-store on launch day said: “It’s not too loose and not too fitted. The kind of piece you need on spring mornings that turn into warm afternoons. It folds easily into a bag for when you stop needing it.” Also new: a washable knit t-shirt made from a synthetic blend. Not for the purists, but it delivers on the practicality front.
And finally, some noteworthy spring sales:
- The Tibi online outlet just went live.
- As did Baserange’s archive sale.
- Tory Burch launched its Spring event: 25% off orders over $200 and 30% off orders over $500 on a selection of items that includes mainly monogrammed bags and shoes like the Reva ballet flats, but also spring dresses, the piercing bag, and the Boaty loafers. Hopefully, the hotly anticipated Spring/Summer 2026 collection will drop soon after.
- J.Crew has a 40% off sale. My pick is the Kaya pants, which come in regular, tall, and petite lengths.
