Yigal Azrouel makes clothes for the body-conscious woman, so it’s no surprise that he deemed baby doll dresses the first spring trend to die. In its place, Azrouel offered slim jersey dresses draped, tapered, and adorned with jewels paired with slouchy bucket hats or wide-brimmed beach hats playfully shortened in the back. Adhering to the surf-chic, beach-sexy aesthetic was a short, sequined dress shimmering in juniper and a casual white button-down rolled up at the sleeves and open at the chest. Men can rejoice at shortened cotton trenches paired with tees light enough to swim in, though a full-body jumpsuit, more mechanic shop than surf shop, did seem off in a sea of clothes just begging for some sun.
