The look: Low-key, high-shine

Take your off-duty look up a notch with a pair of PVC pants. Tibi’s Amy Smilovic has given vinyl trousers a laid-back ’80s spin this season, forgoing skinny styles in favor of a tapered fit. With pants this scene-stealing, it pays to keep the rest of your outfit pared back: a white tee and dark denim jacket will ensure that you exude I-look-this-cool-without-even-knowing-it vibes. You have our permission, though, to abandon this restraint when it comes to accessorizing: molten gold earrings, a color-pop bag and some animal-print pumps will give your daytime look a dose of modern drama.
