Three Tips From Peter
Don't be afraid of color and prints.
A bold print should be the star of your outfit. If you're nervous about mixing patterns, just pair them with black or white.
Perfect the art of layering
A tailored vest or blazer adds structure, while a jean jacket, a tote and bangles give an outfit a breezier vibe.
Attitude is everything
This clothing is about feeling effortless and relaxed with a touch of glam. The best accessory is a healthy glow and a smile!

Crazy for It!
The O fashion team picked out two super-versatile pieces from this collection: "The white moto-inspired jacket is an edgy alternative to a blazer," says O creative director Adam Glassman. "And I love this dressed-up take on a sweatshirt. It'll make any outfit feel of-the-moment."
