This is a daytime, fresh, everyday look. Can't miss.

Tops: Big poplin shirt.

You sincerely can't miss an oversized poplin shirt when it comes to an inspired look from that runway.

Tops: Floral, lacy bra top.

The floral detailing makes up for any lack in the shirt.

Bottoms: Maxi skirt, floral designs.

Maxi skirts are in this spring and summer! With the floral detailing and a poplin shirt? Oomph. It looks gorgeous.

Footwear: Booties.

I thought this gives a bit of an edge to the floral look and can absolutely work in the spring!

Accessories: Statement gold necklace.

This piece looks gorgeous and is the cherry on top.
Ettika | Crystal Disc Collar Necklace | Nordstrom

Accessories: Plant-based leather bag.

I personally love the Santos bag designs. While you can get any bag with this look, I feel this just gives it a nice mix between something lax, unique, and edgy.

Look Two: Midnight Poplin

If you're thinking of going out late at night, these look amazing together.

Tops: Long and black poplin shirt.

The perfect nighttime poplin shirt to go out in (or if you simply lean more towards dark clothing).
Madewell | Stripe Poplin Long Button-Up Shirt | Nordstrom

Tops: Corset.

 What better going out top than a corset? Especially if we're being inspired by D&G.
Out From Under | Modern Love Corset | Urban Outfitters

Bottoms: Mini puff skirt.

Just to give the look a little bit more shape, this mini puff skirt will do the trick.
Contessa Mills | Linen Good Structured Stretch Mini Puff Skirt | Nordstrom

Footwear: Knee-high boots.

This is my chosen “statement” piece of this fit, especially since I was inspired by some of the thigh-high stockings on the runway.
Steve Madden | Women's Lingo Knee-High Pointed-Toe Stiletto Dress Boots | Macy's
 
Stephanie Requena profile picture
Accessories: Small suede bag.

To not overwhelm the fit, and considering how this is a nighttime look, this small suede bag is perf.

Accessories: Necklace.

Really bringing the date-night vibe out with this silver necklace. Considerably also a statement piece.

An alternative to the knee-high boots!

Look Three: Business Casualties

Think about having a very casual brunch with friends and being fabulous. This is that look.

 
Stephanie Requena profile picture
Outerwear: Long relaxed blazer.

Given how there were blazer-forward outfits, this one is a vibe.
Open Edit | The Icon Relaxed Blazer | Nordstrom
 
Stephanie Requena profile picture
Accessories: Oversized sunglasses.

Big sunglasses always mean business, what can I say?
Aeropostale | Oversized Square Sunglasses

Tops: Floral bra top.

Another floral bra top, but completely different to look one.
Edikted | Women's Embroidered Floral Sheer Bra Top | Macy's
 
Stephanie Requena profile picture
Bottoms: Poplin pants.

While this look doesn't necessarily have a poplin shirt to accompany, these trousers make up for it. (Especially if you don't want too much poplin.)
SIMONMILLER | Toni Poplin Pant In Black/Choco Brown Stripe | The Maison Marie

Footwear: Sandal heels.

Highly recommend something like this, given the blazer and trousers.
Style & Co | Women's Pipperr Dress Sandals, Macy's Exclusive

Accessories: Necklace.

A mainly brown-color scheme with gold chains and a turquoise color popping out, accessory-wise? Yes please.

Accessories: Leather bag.

 Following with the brown color-scheme, this Coach bag? Need I say more?

Look Four: She’s Wearing the Itinerary

Quieres ir de vacaciones? This is your vacation-inspired look!

 
Stephanie Requena profile picture
Tops: Button-up floral print shirt.

This isn't exactly poplin, but it's a wee-bit close. Mainly loved the color and the tan/beige floral print for a tropical summer look.
Free People | Women's Hidden Flower Camo Print Shirt | Macy's
 
Stephanie Requena profile picture
Tops: Lace top, sheer.

Considering how some looks had something similar to this lace top, might as well add it to this look. Especially considering the floral design.
Treasure & Bond | Sheer Lace Top | Nordstrom

Undergarment: Bikini top/bralette.
Edikted | Women's Enzo Crochet Bralette Bikini Top | Macy's

Bottoms: Boxer shorts.

These poplin boxer shorts coexist so well with the red floral top.
SAVAGE X FENTY | Kickback Casuals Pajama Boxers | Nordstrom

Footwear: Sandal heels.

Personally love the straps and the gold detailing here.
Steve Madden | Ramos Strappy Sandal (Women) | Nordstrom

Accessories: Shell necklace.

Handmade, gold, shell necklace. Brings everything together, in my opinion.

Accessories: Lace tote bag.

Another handmade item, which I loved how this goes with the lace top in this look.

Look Five: Chillin' & Coqueta

Poplin sets, lounging around, and being absolutely flirty in the process.

 
Stephanie Requena profile picture
Tops: Oversized poplin shirt.

Oversized? Check. Light in color (given the majority of poplin shirts in the show)? Check. And it's cotton, which is great for the warmer months.

Tops: Ruffle cami.

Inspired by the fashion show, I thought that this cami would be so great in a look like this. Flowy, relaxed, feminine… Ugh. Perf.
American Eagle | AE Mesh Ruffle Cami
 
Stephanie Requena profile picture
Bottoms: Boxer shorts.

Same brand and design as the poplin shirt in this look, so it's essentially a set. Really fits into the “chill” vibe.

Footwear: Sneakers.
Gola | Tornado Zephyr Sneaker | Evereve

Knee-high socks.

Are they necessary for this look? Perhaps not, but I personally love knee-high socks and felt it would be good for a look like this.
Nordstrom | Opaque Knee High Socks
 
Stephanie Requena profile picture
Accessories: Freshwater pearl necklace.

Thinking about a set like this lead me to think about pearls. These are handmade and would be so fitting in a look and color-scheme like this one.

Accessories: Small bag.

Fits very well with this look, tying it together nicely.
